OMG OF THE WEEK

Greetings,

It's National Cat Day, which must be orgasmic for the feline obsessed.

Here's The Bench working on his book:

SHIT HAPPENS

Greeting Hairballers.

The recent government shutdown, caused when the Dementors pulled a hissy fit over people getting health care, got me thinking. 

There is so much in life we can’t control--hurricanes, blizzards, floods, Facebook and Congress.  Hello Moses. There’s another plague and it’s called Congress here in the U S of A--those elected representatives of the people, who like monkeys in the zoo, throw turds in our faces.  About this, we could do something by voting them out--that especially means you, who vote against your own interests.

However, most of us spend our lives being innocent bystanders in the great game. Imagine this short trip to the grocery store.

SHIT HAPPENS©

a chunk of blue ice

falls from a passing plane,

landing on the top of your head

you hovered above the site

watching the curious stare

at the former you

what if you’d worn a helmet? right

like everyone expects to be hit on the head

by frozen shit dropping from the sky

too late now,

innocent bystander,

you’re dead and

wondering what  to do—

it’s embarrassing

and scary

death didn’t come with

an instruction manual,

you got zilch, again

the ultimate shut down

P.S.  If there are ads scrolling before your eyes, you know where you’re headed--Facebook purgatory.  Maybe death isn’t that different after all.

Hairballs,

OMG OF THE WEEK

Greetings Hairballers,

A little something from down here in the "gunshine state."

Beverly Young, widow of Congressman Bill Young, has sent emails to three Florida Democrats--Charlie Crist, Charlie Justice and Jessica Ehrlich, telling them that their presence at her husband’s funeral would be unacceptable.

That certainly lowers the hypocrisy quotient on one side--the other one, not so much.

Rest in peace Congressman Young, your friends and relatives sure aren’t.

Here’s the link to the Tampa Bay Times story:

Anti-Social Media

Greetings Hairballers,

Did this cartoon in the 90s at the beginning of the cell phone craze.  People were rude and annoying but at least they were still talking to each other.  Today, folks don't talk they text, tweet, Facebook, etc.  All very self-absorbed--look what I did, where I went, what I bought!!  Social media is anit-social media designed to feed our own egos and avoid human contact.  We're going down hill.
