Reference:- Frankenjonesie is so angry about the USA election result that he is seeing red .
Being an octogenerian myself I thought it was wise to let my son Ken junior write this post , since my opinion might be biased .
Dear Mr Jones ,
Dad asked me to write this , which in itself indicates a certain degree of age related cognitive decline . The old bastard is full of it lately and refuses to give me the keys to the ute ever since I rolled my mate's Kingswood . Anyway , dad looked up Mr Biden's age in his Funk and Wagnalls and in just a few days Mr Biden will be 78 years old . I agree with you that a chap of such advanced years wouldn't have an opinion worth listening to . How is a 78 year old going to stay in touch with current affairs ? Dad still listens to his old LP records and reckons they stopped making proper music when the BBC canned The Val Doonican show 34 years ago . I tell him he should be more open minded since everybody knows that proper music doesn't simply end like that . Proper music lasted until 2010 when Powderfinger split .
Anyway Mr Jones , without being critical I did notice that moment on your show when you pointed at a map of the USA and declared that it was all covered with red states which had voted for Mr Trump , with hardly a blue to be seen . Yet there were in fact more blue states than red . It could be that you are starting to develop color blindness , and I urge you to have one of those Ishihara Tests for Tritanopia (which is blue colour blindness according to dad's Funk and Wagnalls ) .
Also Mr Jones , I see you will be having your landmark 80th birthday early next year . Dad has two copies of his favourite LP " The World of Val Doonican " and says we should send one to you for your birthday , so we need your mailing address .
Lastly , allow me to thank you for the way your nimble mind has always adapted to changing circumstances and has not become mired in outdated ideology like many of your contemporaries . Over the years you have unashamedly made the intellectual journey from tory to conservative to free market capitalist to neoliberal warrior as circumstances changed . You are a role model for the likes of Rowan Dean and Paul Murray .
Your comrade , Ken
