Fired Mutations

Firing people is a Good Thing. It is the institutional incarnation of DNA replication and repair. Mutant cells are killed off in order to keep the entire organism healthy.
Two such defective cells appear to have been pruned from their hosts, and for the betterment of the body. Despite public statements to the contrary, it appears that Disney corporation came to their Micky Mouse senses and canned Rossie O’Donnell through contract attrition. Her recent enrolment into the rank ranks of those promoting a Grand Bush Conspiracy Theory about 9/11 and the American government being responsible for falling towers showed that she has lost her mind and Disney has regained theirs. The show from which she has been deselected, The View, cannot be saved even with her absence. It is Hell in pure, concentrated form, viewable only by those condemned to daytime television.
The sad side effect of this is that Rossie O’Donnell may tour with Cyndi Lauper, who has had enough career setbacks that she certainly does not deserve another like this.
A second piece of defective DNA about to be exorcised from the body politic is Ward Churchill, a man who compared nearly 3,000 innocent citizens to Nazi holocaust engineers. He’s not being fired for being an idiot, though that is cause enough. Nor is he being surgically removed because he utters insane rambling, for that is protected by tenure. Like the now infamous Michael Bellesiles, it appears that old Ward may have fabricated or falsified his research and plagiarized his prose. Canning Ward (and perhaps caning him) is the preferred option of his university’s president and a faculty committee. Even the the Privilege and Tenure Committee thinks Ward should get an unpaid year off for bad behaviour.
Societal genetic cleansing is slow, but the outcome is predictable. Either minor tumors like O’Donnell and Churchill are removed by through internal housekeeping, or more aggressive cancers like jihadism grow out of control and require invasive surgery. Either way, the body of humanity survives despite these diseases.
