To those scriptwriters and wannabe scriptwriters in the valley, I offer some titles\/themes that might get you a TV series: \u201cDesperate Jailbirds,\u201d \u201cFull House to the Big House,\u201d \u201cLifestyles of the Rich and Dishonest,\u201d \u201cAunt Becky Does Hard Time\u201d and \u201cMy Daddy\u2019s Rich So I Don\u2019t Have to Follow the Rules.\u201d<\/p>\n
Keeping production local, this last title could include Richard Miller in a cameo appearance since more than once in less than a year he has indicated that rules apparently don\u2019t apply to him (unless they are rules his lawyers stretch on his behalf) at considerable cost to taxpayers and considerable danger to valley residents.<\/p>\n
Should he and some of the until-recently celebrated Hollywood types end up in prison together, perhaps they could continue filming instead of making license plates and thereby returning more money to the taxpayers.<\/p>\n
Another theme to consider is \u201cWhy Can\u2019t Children of Color be More Like White Children and Be Held To the Same Standard?\u201d This could be expressed as satire by the left and as sober-faced docudrama by the religious \u201cright\u201d who are so clueless they would trip over Jesus and then have him deported.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t ask for any remuneration for these sure-fire ideas except, perhaps, some \u201cdiscrete help\u201d on my SAT test, should I need to take it again.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n
