A colleague once observed, “Never put a clown with nothing to lose and nothing to gain in charge of the planet. Society will quickly descend into comedic chaos.”
Speaking of which, a friend on Facebook said, “Did you hear one of the Boston bombing victims was five feet away from the bomb? One of them was hers. That’s why we should convert to metric.”
Another said, “The Boston bombing is just more proof that the combination of rap music and government welfare is a ‘gateway drug’ to violence.”
And another, “When Grandma pulls out her pressure cooker to make jam this fall, I’m gonna say, ‘Grandma, your jam is the bomb,’ just to see her reaction.”
Yet more, “Mercedes-Benz — Proud to present two high-lights. One: made for police-hating, gang-raping rap stars. Two: great protection for terrorists on the run.”

Now, back to serious pursuit of planetary exploration and settlement, where we decide whether to take seriously North Korea’s threat to launch missiles; the claim that Syria has used chemical weapons; the assertion that U.S. states will use Dept of Homeland Security funds to target abortion clinics and “morning after” pill providers as domestic terrorists; and if anyone cares about government abuses in Africa.
