News Nonsense

1) I read that the Lobster industry suffering from low prices do to the Economic Downturn. Why not turn that phrase around? “Citizens hard hit by the Economic Downturn rejoice in cheap Lobster!”

2) Okay – It’s tragic that ANYONE gets killed in a hit-and-run. But why do I have to read about Alexis Cohen out here in the Kuwait papers?? She was only on American Idol for about 5 minutes! Does that make her a legend? Is she a god now??

3) I read today that the US Military will be hiring a civilian security company to protect our bases in Afghanistan. That’s right – the MILITARY needs CIVILIANS to protect our US bases. Soooo – what is the Military there for…?

Unfortunately, that is a regular news day here. Last night was “Breaking News”- Sarah Palin’s farewell address. More mindless gibberish from someone who would make Anna Nicole (God rest her soul) seem like a Rhodes Scholar. I had more fun reading the Darwin-esque report of an Australian who was sniffing gasoline. When the police came to the house, he charged at them with gas-can in hand. The police then tasered the guy, and he went up like a Roman candle. As a friend of mine said, “This would never happen to me, because my mother taught me right. 1. Never run with scissors, 2. Always wait 1/2 hour after eating to go swimming, and 3. If you have been sniffing gasoline, don’t charge the police with a gas can in hand if they have a taser.”

So it’s just perpetual “news of the weird”.
