Abbott and Costello talk jobs

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

The recent, much touted not-actually-so-good news on jobs, gets an appropriate answer from Abbott and Costello.

Some happy news for a change

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

No, not happy news like about crippled orphans being rescued by blind puppies (though that’s good, too). Not glurge.

But in the biblical flood of bad news, good news does occasionally bob to the surface and I’ve been saving up bits of it to brighten your day. So here goes:

Yeah, we’ve all had one of those days.

Friday miscellany

The headline on this one was (of course), “It’s not what it looks like! I can explain!”

Monday musings

Monday, December 5th, 2011

I have to go to court today. No, nothing I did. Just giving support to a friend whose ne’er-do-well son is in trouble again.

Going through my fanny pack to make sure I’m courthouse-ready. You know, it’s amazing the amount of stuff folks carry every day that some other folks might consider a weapon. I’ll probably just stash the fanny pack and put keys, cash, and ID in a pocket lest some letter opener or multitool freak out the paranoiati.

I’ve got two multi-tabbed browsers full of links I’ve been saving for you. But between revelations of Fed shenanigans (and the MSM’s huge “ho hum” about them), the latest “advance” of the police state, and the unsurprising news about Carrier IQ it all just seems too depressing to wallow in.

Even the articles or opinion pieces that add good insights, like this one, and this one, and this one would make you want to stick your head in the sand if you thought about them for more than a minute.

When you hear absurd talk of “legal oversight and reform,” you really wonder if even some very well-informed people suffer from a serious Failure to Grasp Reality.

It’s getting scary everywhere.

Still, good people go on doing good things and coping with hard times in creative ways. Have you ever, for instance, heard of a gemach? That’s a very noble thing, it seems.

The good guys strike back (with a gratifying bit of chutzpah, to boot).

—–

And governments the world over still give much cause for laughter. (No, I don’t think Sweden owes this poor old guy a wheelchair; but their reasons for denying it are a scream.)

—–

And … well, friends go on doing good deeds for each other:
