I RARELY read the newspaper or watch the news any more. Not that I don't want to know what is going on in the world, but I've felt that when I DO actually look up the paper online or turn on the nightly news there is not much that is good to be reported on. While it is important to realize bad stuff happens to good people (and bad people), I no longer want to hear about the murders, child abuse, drug crimes, and other nasty stuff that is causing our world to crumble at the seams. Knowing too much about this side of our society makes it into our home enough as it is due to the current and former career choices that have been had under our roof - I don't want to hear more of the gory details before I learn if it is going to sun or rain the next day. It is too bad that our society feeds off of such horrific stories like starving paranahs. And lately I REALLY haven't wanted to tune in because I absolutely abhor the political ya-ya that goes on. I am not a political person...I don't like the games they all play. Why can't it just be a plain and simple "this is what I support, this is what I belive in..." without all the other crap thrown in? I don't like that every other commercial is a politically driven one. I'm SO glad the election is finally over, regardless of if I agree with the new president or not.
All this being said, I did have a moment of boredom tonight and so I looked up our lovely ultra conservative Salem newspaper (there is sarcasm here for those that don't know me well enough to detect it). And for once I got a laugh! Now, I'm sure for this guy who now has a huge reconstruction bill ahead of him it wasn't so funny, but I can go low enough to find humor off of the stupid people of the world.
Just so you don't ever become one of them....make sure that you do NOT substitute a blow-torch for a broom. Especially when cleaning the cobwebs from your home's eves. Your house just might catch fire as a recent Georgia man's did when he got the cleaning bug.
Seriously. Is there any brain in there at all?

Oh Tiff, you're so funny! I wish I was more like you, uninterested...however, I am totally addicted to the news. In fact, I watch it probably more than once a day. How sad!!
Okay, trying to learn from other people's mistakes, I'm going to label my blow torch and broom right now. I sure don't want to make the same mistake that that guy did!
Good 'ol Statesman Urinal! Where would Salem be without it?
It is kind of nice to find a story in the news that makes us smile.
Hope you're enjoying your day!
