Meh, Boomer: TNF for grown folk – March 1, 2020
Hi. I’m Clark Brooks, a correspondent and the Senior Supreme Executive Premium Content Editor for Tampa News Force. I’m also a Baby Boomer. Barely – February 6, 1964 – but just inside the official range (born between 1944 and 1964). Obviously, I’m the oldest contributor here at TNF, which is a fine site and I’m happy to be here. But as is a problem throughout society, there are too many young punks running their yaps about things they think are important. What happened to the good ol’ days when you could sit out on your porch with the Sunday morning paper, throw the ads in the trash (NOT a recycle bin), enjoy a couple of pieces individually wrapped hard candy and mumble under your breath about the ethnics playing their techno-rap too loud? Probably cancelled by some smart-ass, PC-sensitive Millennial.
Well, guess what? Those good ol’ days are back, starting here and now! Each week, I’ll take a mature and sensible approach to summarizing the week in news from Tampa News Force, without all the millennial hoo ha ha! So drag your PC out onto the porch, call your daughter to help you connect to the internet outdoors, grab some Jolly Ranchers, keep an eye on that one kid riding his bike and wearing a hooded sweatshirt and enjoy this first edition of Meh, Boomer: TNF for grown folk!

Hudson Man Protests Universal Healthcare Because He’s “Not Currently Sick” – This is just common sense. If you’re not sick, you don’t need healthcare.
Castor blames cold weather for bad mood – Man, I just don’t know about this Castor being the mayor. I mean, sure, equal rights for everyone. And I don’t care that she’s a lesbian, as long as she doesn’t try to molest me. But word is she’s also a woman.
