Too Close to Home


Well, here’s more drama within a 10 mile radius. In a few days NBC will be airing The Thing About Pam.

I think the reason I didn’t know about Pam is because her case was followed locally by the Fox News station, and if they had any journalistic pride they’d re-brand themselves as “Mongoose News” or “Rodent News” to establish they are unaffiliated with Roger Ailes and his crap factory. I also haven’t followed the Dateline coverage.

The trailer frightened me with its accuracy. Because the murder house is my house. Those facades are my facade. The 1980’s great room could be my 1980’s great room. That ceiling fan is my ceiling fan. My only quibble is that Rene Zellweger put on 10 pounds too much fat suit. We’re pretty fat out here, only not quite that fat.

It’s just another way this Pam woman has made my area look bad. And I know they probably filmed it in Toronto, which is even odder, to think there’s a twin of my town out in Toronto, and to think that it doesn’t look cooler than my little suburb.
