Brace yourself! I am going to write a thinky post about the Real Housewives series!!!! Yes, the ultimate bad joke of bad TV in America. And also, a pop culture artifact about which I am sure SO MANY other thinky posts have already been written and I am saying nothing new. But maybe it will be new to you! And it is new to me, which is important.
