On Experts

[theindependenteye]

A bipartisan wig bubble from the Damned Fool--

I saw this guy on TV they say is the Expert. He tells what’s going to happen if it does or if it won’t and why.

He talks fast. Nobody understands him so we don’t have to worry but according to him he’s got it under control. Sometimes he says why lots of people will die if we need them to and we do so they do. Nobody we know.

I wonder how he finds out about that stuff, or if he just chases it down the road like a chicken to hear it cluck. I guess an Expert studies to be an Expert. But I study between my toes and still can’t figure what happens there.

Mostly he says a few words over and over. That makes us remember. Don’t know what it means, but we can say the words a lot so they glue together. That’s an Opinion then, and we all need at least one Opinion to cover our delicate parts.

The Expert tells us a good Opinion so we can have it.

Oh boy. It all takes brains. Nobody ever agrees what side their nose is on. The right wing is shedding its feathers and the left wing flaps in circles while the bird stays aloft by farting hard.

We need an Expert on Experts to tell us who’s the Expert. We need to run tests on an Expert to see what makes him rattle. We need to ask him who he is, to see if he knows.

One thing sure: this Fool’s an Expert on Fools. That’s for damn sure.
