The world is upside down!

Piers Morgan is talking sense! And oil is now negative! I'm letting my tank go to almost zero - I want that little yellow light to be glowing fiercely - to maximize my check when next I fill up. If I can get it down to vapor only I reckon they will owe me about $24.
Piers Morgan will be familiar to my American fans because he took over from Larry King as CNN's evening interviewer chappie. Actually he won't be familiar to them as he was canned after three years of poor ratings. He has an infamous position on Britain as a 'journalist' as he is prone to being in a bargepole relationship with the truth. In fact his first and longest social distancing experiment was with that concept. He edited the Daily Mirror and was found to be guilty of (but not punished for) buying shares his financial people were touting in the next day's edition. The Mirror also published obviously faked photographs of British soldiers 'abusing' Iraqi prisoners in the wake of the Abu Graib stories. He shares a habit with his BFF Trump of uttering lies which can be very easily disproved: for example, he claimed never to have met Jimmy Savile, the disk jockey knighted for services to charity who was later found to have been a serial pederast, rapist and all around world-class creep. However, anyone with a intertubes account could find the account of some event in which he wrote: " Jimmy Savile came up to me. ‘Your TV shows are BRILLIANT!’ he exclaimed. ‘And as I’ve been in the telly business for 50 years, you can take that as an informed view.’ I’ve always loved Jimmy Savile.”
So Piers Morgan has long been anathema to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Hence the surprise at seeing him on CNN. Amongst other things, he said: "He's turning these briefings into a self-aggrandizing, self-justifying, overly defensive, politically partisan, almost like a rally to him -- almost like what's more important is winning the election in November".
I suppose I understand now why the nuns always seem to appreciate the reformed sinner more than those of us who have tried to keep a cleanish sheet.
