Irritated With Transformation Yet? Let’s Do America First!

In the last episode of Leave it to Beaver, we find Ward Clever waking to a disturbing vision... he looks out his window and declares.... this is not Kansas, Toto. He muses briefly... wondering. What's gone wrong? Beaver is selling drugs from his bedroom window. Wallie is wearing a red skirt and his favorite pumps... June is in the Kitchen mumbling words of solace ... reciting Mother Goose rhymes. Ward, turns and goes to the window and witnesses his neighbor drive off ... his van is packed full and there is a sign in the Yard.... House For Sale... no offer refused. Ward screams out you owe me $50... only to hear the resonance of his neighbor's engine accelerate.

No, this is not Kansas and the yellow crime tape in the middle of the road doesn't lead to Crystal City... it marks the location of the latest drive-by shooting and the death of Ward's best friend and neighbor. Ward muses out loud... This has to be the 'Twilight Zone', only to recoil at the sound of a woman screaming...the blood-curdling scream is coming from the park at the end of the street... where once, the cries of children playing filled the air, now the screams of the homeless echo from those encamped there.

Leave it to Beaver has been canceled and so has the American Dream... After all, they canceled the Jewel Tea Man, the Milkman, and Montgomery Wards packed it in. Green Stamps are now food stamps The old lady next door vanished... one day she was there and then poof.... gone.. The talk is she was deported to a home near the local HOSPICE... with a promise... she could play all the shuffleboard she wants,.. whatever that is... family be damned. And, so it is in the Great Crystal City... where the Wizard and Wicked Witch of the East have fundamentally transformed the city into an amusement park of the demented.

We close the season, with Ward wondering aloud... When will the next version of 'Gone with the Wind.' play in a neighborhood near you... He laughs, as he wonders if there is a land called Oz or an American Dream. Toto hikes his leg and waters the Lillies... and we hear June say... there is always tomorrow... maybe tomorrow, I'll clean house.

What's the moral of the story... dirty houses never get cleaned, old women should never play shuffleboard, and yellow tape should be banned from police departments...

  John...
  
  You didn't miss that episode... you're living it in living color and with Dolby sound...
  
  For God's sake... Don't look out your window, play shuffleboard, or try to redeem any green stamps... they could all be fatal acts, when engaged by the conservative sernior population. LOL
