Crazy, crazy days, these have been. Reading the headlines crossed over from April Fool’s Day and finding that the stories that seemed like jokes were not laughable, at all. Little kids plotting to kill their teacher. Bernanke speaking in hushed voice about the current impending great depression recession. A Democrat actually getting a significant discount during a recent visit to a prostitute (well, compared to Eliot Spitzer).

Sometimes I think I read/watch too much news. It’s making me jaded to the point where, although some things make me want to throw things and yell at the top of my lungs, “WTF???”, most days, nothing surprises me anymore.

I’m in the mood for another classic rock golden oldie: DON HENLEY “Dirty Laundry” (live)

I don’t believe today’s Ten Post Round-Up will make me any less jaded:

8: Prosperity Gospel: Jus’ cuz you can’t take it with you doesn’t mean Jesus don’t want you to have more of it (even if you don’t really need it)…

10: Bargain Hunter: That runaway preacher probably spent more at the strip club…

There is not enough Tequila in the world to help me overcome my jadedness, but that ain’t gonna stop me from self-medicating over the next three nights (one of the benefits of working in a bar…although, most of my drinks are gifts from guests, trust that I pay for their generosity with a pounding headache the next morning). So, if you don’t hear from me for a couple of days, please send that trusty Saint Bernard and make sure he’s got a keg of Corona on his collar (Thanks, in advance).

291 días hasta el final de un error…

Peace.

(I wish someone else would do my dirty laundry…)
