Danae: Hmm...ok...that confirms it. Lucy: Confirms what? Danae: Daddy said I should look at photos of the earth from space so I can see it's not flat...I've gotta admit, I'm convinced now. Lucy: Good for you to admit...um...wait......Just what are you convinced of? Danae: That NASA is the kind of photoshop. Lucy: Ah...of course. The only rational explanation.
I hate to admit it, but I’m finding Danae less and less funny as more and more politicians and public figures echo her opinions.It was one thing when Sarah Palin went veering off from reality, watching Russia from Alaska, but now the crazies are considered mainstream, and seeing who can out-loony the other for attention. Between Oregon cowboys (who declare war on the US but wave our flags) to flat-Earth rappers to Donald Trump, it’s a challenge to find sanity in reality these days.
