We're halfway through April ... keep your fingers crossed ...
A mailman from Florida was arrested after landing his gyrocopter on the grounds of the US Capitol Building with a bag full of letters complaining to each member of Congress about big money and political corruption; according to the Italian police, Muslims migrants trying to cross illegally from Libya to Italy in a boat this week threw 12 fellow passengers overboard, killing all of them, because the 12 were Christians; a Los Angeles judge ordered former rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight to stand trial for murder and other charges stemming from a deadly hit-and-run confrontation on the movie set of the biopic "Straight Outta Compton" earlier this year; thousands of people in the city of Durban, South Africa, have sought refuge in temporary shelters after mobs armed with machetes attacked immigrants in Durban, leaving at least five people dead; and the so-called "Islamic State" claimed responsibility for a suicide car bomb attack that killed at least four people and wounded 18 - none of them the targeted Americans - near the U.S. Consulate in the Kurdish Iraqi city of Irbil.
Well, if we can't have good news, at least we can have good cartoons.
This week's theme cartoons features that most famous of accident victims - Humpty Dumpty ...
There's good news, and there's bad news ...
It helps to go to the right person for help ...
Humpty Dumpty in today's litigious America ...
The Humpty Dumpty conspiracy ... finally unmasked! ...
You really do need to pay close attention to exactly what a fortune teller tells you ...
Turning to other topics, sometimes it's a matter of perspective ...
Budget cuts are bad everywhere ...
I think this is where I want to get a job after I retire ...
This would probably help somewhat ... but most Pentagon meetings are still boring ...
And there you have it ... my little attempt to bring a little levity to your otherwise cheerless world. Don't thank me ... it's all part of the service.
It's going to be a busy weekend, so I need to get cracking and start with that most wonderful of pastimes - paying bills. Oh, well ... at least I still have a job to pay them with, which in today's economy counts for a lot. After all, all those job creators the GOP wants to protect with tax benefits are creating lots of new jobs ... just not in the US of A.
Have a good day. Come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.

Those Humpty Dumpty cartoons were really on target! Especially the one where he blamed it on a government conspiracy.

ReplyDeleteI like the exaggerated legal issue...no warning on the wall. Guaranteed employment for attorneys.
ReplyDeleteNo warning sign on wall - must be a Montgomery lawyer chasing ambulances.
ReplyDeleteI also want that job at The Sarcasm Institute. Hope they will be doing a lot of hiring.
