"You Never See A Grey-Haired One,"

 There are times that I'm more proud than this about the things that stick in my head and make me want to write things. Kind of not feeling that great about the fact that I'm still thinking about a "Family Guy" rerun I watched a week ago while Medicaid is still on the chopping block. And, in a weird way, Family Guy can sometimes pull off a bit of representation by having Joe Swanson be at least one of the gang.(With a better job and cuter wife.)

But I can't stop thinking about their lampoon of disability features that stars Toby, a kid with floppy hair, CP, and a big dream we're all pretty sure he's not gonna reach(Do I identify? Shut up.) And, yeah, it's not hard for me to get on board with having Tom Tucker look stupid. But then, at the end someone asks about Toby's prognosis and Tom says "You never see a grey-haired one." which, okay, not exactly a lie.

Not even especially a good reason to think "Fuck you, Seth McFarlane, et all." for a week, but here we are.

Fuck you, Seth McFarlane.(Also, how come it pays for you to make gimp jokes and not me?)

Signed,

Almost a Grey-haired One
