Constant, confusing lying and disinformation is the way autocrats maintain control; the people never know what is true and what is false, so they shrug their shoulders and ignore everything, even the truth.
Earl not interested in the news. Surprised Opal did not ask for cookies too! For me I do watch news, the devastation that is taking place and not eating at bed time.
Yeah, but do you believe the nutrition label? It says a “serving size” is 2 cookies. Have you ever seen someone eat only two fig newtons. Maybe this should be a big headline on Fox. :)
I can’t stand fig newtons, soon to be ex husband loves them and would buy them. What Earl is doing is what I call stress eating and I have been doing a lot of that the last 2 years and my high diabetes numbers are the proof.

Don’t forget a glass of milk to dunk the Fig Newtons in Earl.

Fig Newtons – the only cookie I really don’t like. But the news is even more unpalatable.

Fig Newton. One smart cookie!

Fig? Newton? Wasn’t it an apple?

When I was in college a local bakery made frosted apple newtons, delicious.

Add a tin of sardines to those newtons, that’ll give you some interesting nightmares.

Can’t beat Fig Newtons to ease your anxiety.

Who gets out of bed to eat? Once I get settled, all I want to do is sleep.

Earl is avoiding the reality of the news…Fig Newtons distract his attention…

An excellent idea! I think I’ll grab a few as well.

She said “who” to believe, not “what.” I believe you’re losing it, Earl, and Opal does too.

It’s avoidance. Eating does keep me from thinking about the end of the world.
