And another day in the life
Honouring the memory of Sgt. Pepper, I should, of course, open this column with, I read the news today, oh boy…
So, the only friends that George Bush has left are now begging Osama to send a few more planes. According to the head of the Arkansas GOP what was needed to bolster support for the president was a few more attacks on American soil.
Meanwhie, on the other spaced-out side of the newly restored and ironed out, cold war see-saw president Putin claimed that he was the only true democrat left standing. Ah well, it’s nice to see that the international balance of idiocy seems to be restored.
Or, as Dorothy might have commented to her doggie, We’re not in Kansas any more.
Talking of pets, for all those people who may have wondered how Schrödinger’s cat would have survived for so long (or not) without food, wonder no more: cats are surprisingly good at surviving without nourishment, it seems.
Life seems to be less kind (or at the very least incredibly more complicated) to humans - especially older ones. When they’re not being hoarded into buses and driven at gunpoint to studios where they are forced to record incredibly lame songs, they suffer through all kinds of other indignities.
Like this 84 years’ old, retired art dealer from Delray Beach. The police took away his false teeth and now refuse to give them back.
Or take this poor Belgium bloke, who just wanted to leave his relatives a nice surprise for when he was gone - but who died before he could finish the job.
Life can be very cruel indeed.
