Time Text
On Friday, I was about to go get dinner for my kids when Donald Trump Jr.
attacked me in his speech at CPAC. Something about me looking like a gender-neutral potato head.
If Hasbro really wanted a gender-neutral Mr.
potato head so badly they should just slap a picture of CNN's Brian Sletler on
the cover of their next potato.
What? They don't call him Mr. Potato Head.
Potato Head for nothing. And then the tweets started rolling in on my computer, people telling me about Donnie Jr.
insulting me, and I thought of some really cutting responses, some really clever ways to reply, some way to go viral, but then I stopped.
I didn't post anything.
It was just another distraction.
He wanted me to respond.
This was just more BS fuel for the culture war, and it does not matter.
The best thing we can do for each other in this world of tweet storms is to refuse to be confused by that noise, is to refuse to be distracted.
There is too much real news going on.
