A Voice Crying in the Wilderness
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God—Isaiah 40: 1-3 , King James version.
I’m offering a second and third video of Harris exposed for my readers to review and evaluate. My intent is not to appeal to nor to appease the baser instincts of my viewers, even given the improbability that any such base instincts exist among the throngs that will gravitate to this posting. I only mean to show that the exposures are frequent and nicely composed.
What follows is a voice that crieth in the wilderness, my voice, an adaptation and an interpretation of a passage in the King James version of the Holy Bible, Isaiah 40: 1-3, presented at the beginning of this writing, an effort that I consider is somewhere between an essay and a treatise. This post was prompted by the nature of the clothing worn by a certain statuesque Fox News employee, namely Harris Faulkner, a lovely and tremendously talented lady.
As the voice of the crier that crieth, I crieth on Word Press in an attempt—admittedly a vain attempt—to slow a process that if unchecked could result in our news being nudged towards requiring news readers to perform in the nude, first female newscasters but eventually, inevitably, male newscasters. And come on, do we really want to see a nude Ed Shultz of MSNBC fame haranguing us on his nightly gig, regardless of his state of undress?
Not I! And from that position I offer my adaptation of a passage in the King James version of the Holy Bible:
A Voice Crying in the Wilderness
Comfort her, comfort her, saith I. Speak ye comfortably to Harris Faulkner, and cry unto her that her mission is accomplished. She hath lighted her candle and placed it, not under a bushel, but brightly shining from atop the candlestick of Fox News and lo, that light hath been perceived by the network’s many followers.
Harris needeth not longer to reveal that which should be kept hidden under a bushel, at least hidden well enough to leave something for the imagination. She hath received considerably more than the average woman in a certain locale of her topography and lo, the beauty and bounty of that area hath been adequately demonstrated, and hath been perceived by the multitudes, and appreciation hath been expressed adequately—nay, mightily—by the wielders of the studio cameras and by the beasts of the television field.
This is pure speculation on my part, but I suspect that Harris hath additional visual stimulants to offer the multitudes of those that appreciate such stimulation—nay, lust for such stimulation—but current restrictions forbid further the casting aside of the remnants of her raiment, whether top or bottom or both. A pity, perhaps, in the minds of many, but many would be pleased because television, sadly, is sliding slip-shod and slovenly down a slippery slobbery salivating slope, and at this point I confess that alliteration is and always has been my first love in language—well, at least it is one of my dearest loves.
What’s does this portend for our future television fare? The weather girl, perhaps, stripping and performing a pole dance, slithering around and up and down the pole to demonstrate how a tornado is formed? Put that one on television and see how many Internet hits the video records.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Postscript: I’m adding a related video of another newsreader, just to show that Harris Faulkner is not alone. Lauren Sanchez is an anchor on MY13 news at KTTV FOX-11 in Los Angeles, CA. I selected this dance-themed video because it closely mirrors Lauren Sanchez’ attire when she deliveries her news commentaries—enjoy! Oops, I meant to suggest that the video should be viewed in light of the ever-increasing deterioration of our hallowed values—yeah, right!

I can readily offer my sympathy because I know exactly how you feel. I always review my postings to tweak my “prose” and make corrections and changes as needed, but in this case I despaired of every finishing because of the diversions I encountered along the way—they just kept on coming—uh, ah, two by two, so to speak.
Thanks for the visit, and thanks for the comment—it made my day, and as the kids say on Facebook, LOL!

Amanda Drury of CNBC, Leann Tweeden of Poker After Dark, Heather Tesch of the Weather Channel, and Harris Faulkner of Fox News are all smart and voluptuous ladies who ought to be applauded for the good work they are doing. Who cares about the news, business, the weather, or the game of Poker! I am just another superficial male enticed by modern day Eve’s on the tube.

Thanks for visiting, for the comment and for your take on Amanda, Leann and Heather. I echo your sentiments on the phrases smart and voluptuous and just another superficial male. I spent some time on videos of the three women, and came away with renewed faith in the adage that one’s interest is centered on that which is concealed rather than revealed. If a beautiful and shapely woman were shown nude except for two band-aids and a cork, one’s interest would be centered on the band-aids and the cork, with little or no interest in acres of bare skin or whatever amount of good work they were doing, whether television shows or laundry.

I’m new at making “comments” of this type. However, after seeing Harris on the news today I feel compelled to share my disappointment in her appearance. She is obviously a brilliant, talented woman. Why must she dress in such an unprofessional, indecent way?

Thanks for visiting and thanks for the comment. I believe that her appearance accounts for a high percentage of Fox viewers, and also I believe that she and other female news readers, specifically those with significant cleavage to display, are encouraged by management to dress that way. Of course she is demurely clothed compared to women on other channels that feature dance videos. Many are pushing the envelope, and ultimately we will be treated to pornography, beginning with the so-called soft porn, but eventually to the real thing.
Thanks again for visiting. You’re always welcome, and I’ll leave the light on for you.

Your comment on this posting is obviously spam, but it managed to avoid detection by the Word Press folks. I approved it and accepted it exactly as you sent it because of the words you used to describe my writing. You described it as astonishing, simply spectacular, professional and rewarding, and I didn’t have the heart to consign such glowing compliments to the trash pile. Besides, I am completely in agreement with you in every respect. I wish you every success in your commercial blogging efforts. Thanks for visiting, and thanks for the comment.
