The older I get, hopefully, the wiser I get. I don't really know if it is true, but the more I watch the news, the more it feels true. At times it hits home like a tsunami. I work with my family who all have college educations, yet I am an island of reason in the sea of insanity. For example, if you say to a coworker, "do you have those reports done?" The appropriate answer is either "yes, I do," or "no, I'll get right on them." The answer I get is "you need them?" If I didn't, would I have asked for them?

It is like taking crazy pills.

Watching the news is even worse. I will not get into politics simply because it is like taking morphine or crack level crazy pills. I will only say the middle road has stopped and both extremes (left or right) are headed for the cliffs. What is worse than the politicians is the the news readers themselves. They cannot ask questions without them being slanted one way or another.

The real question I have for the news is why so many stories are passed over? There has to be something other than the usual politics, weather, and war. How about thirty minutes of good news for a change? The one minute soundbite at the end of each nights news is nothing more than a mere slap in the face. Here's 29 minutes of bad news, but oh a baby panda was born today in...

Spoon fed crazy today.

I have spit out the spoon for just a little reason. I hope you do too.
