You Can't Blame Us For Feeling Angerous

By Zamboni

Despite its allusion to little birds, we cats are not really into Twitter. (Not enough hours in the day, don'tcha know.) But we would have been tempted to join in if we'd known what was happening on Thursday.

Tweets flew thick and fast over Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade host Matt Lauer's mispronunciation of "'S Wonderful." (No, Matt, ess not good.)

We of course weren't watching, because we hate the Thanksgiving Day parade (unless it's the first few minutes of "Miracle on 34th Street.") And besides, we're boycotting Macy's because of the Trump thing.

But there's something absolutely delicious about zillions of Gershwin fans taking the loathsome Mr. Lauer to task. And we have a suggestion for his continued punishment. From now on, every time he interviews guests on that silly "Today" show, they should say stuff to him like:

"Thank you, Matt, it's 's wonderful to be here."

"Matt, that's a 's marvelous question, and I'm glad you asked it."

"It was 's awful nice of you to have me."

And if NBC and the other big media companies would be willing to stop paying idiots like Matt Lauer huge salaries that they do not earn, we cats think that would be, well, 's paradise.

I just read that Matt Lauer gets paid 21.5 million a year.
That must make him the most overpaid person in the world since his about as ordinary as any anchor in Anchorage and probably more so. (moreso?)
