Ken, Barbie, Cap’n Jack & World War 3

OCEAN ISLE – Sitting on the porch and watching the waves roll in …

A military helicopter just flew over, down the coastline. You could see the men in battle fatigues sitting in the open windows …

Israel’s pounding Lebanon; North Korea’s acting badly …

Nations are taking sides … talking, Talking & TALKING.

Meanwhile, Ken & Barbie’s extended family (pictured here) sit calmly in front of the lighthouse.

Last week, on opening night, the Huneycutts sat fourth row from the big screen and the latest adventure of Cap’n Jack Sparrow. What an extravaganza! If you like special effects and don’t mind a good dose of blood and gore … by all means, go! But, face it, people just wanna see Johnny Depp in “drag” … and the Disney folks make good use of that longing.

When you watch the waves roll in while reading Michael Critchton’s State of Fear, you obviously mull the threat (real and otherwise) of global warming. Yet, when you’re reading Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, you have a different worldview entirely.

Ken and Barbie are made in China. Jack Sparrow’s made in Hollywood. War is made in the Middle East. Emily Brontë lived in England — where they’re debating being shed of St George.

And the waves just keep rollin’ in.

May the Lord have mercy.
