All Newsed Out
(Coldplay – Fix You)

We’re going to A B because we’re B A’ers. We’re going to eat zucchinis because we’re zucchini eaters!

So, not a lot of things in the world are going well these days. There’s the ongoing war in Iraq. We all know what a great PR piece that is for the Bush administration. The sad part is, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Bush, along came Katrina. I think John Stewart put it best when he said, "Was there bureaucratic bungling? The short answer is: yes. The long answer is: YESSSSSSSSSSS!" Seriously, how do you leave thousands of people stranded for 3-4 days while you finish off your vacation? Come on, someone toss those people a bone…or a life preserver.

Correspondent Ed Helms in New Orleans - "While everybody else is busy setting up commissions and finding fault, through the president's leadership he'll end up building a billion dollar dam in Arkansas." Jon Stewart - "Why would he build a dam in Arkansas?" Ed Helms - "His plan will be to fight the water there so we don't have to fight it here."

And the skyrocketing gas prices. What the F??? I even started looking at the cost of getting a moped or a scooter to ride around the city to try and cut down my gas costs. Those things have great gas mileage! However, I’m not sure I could ever really own one. Scooters are like fat chics. They’re fun to ride until your friends find out.

Is anyone else getting a bit tired of watching the news these days? It’s all very depressing.

The good news is I just got a great deal on my insurance from GEICO.
