A wildfire burns yet again in southern California. The situation in Iraq worsens. Iran wants nukes. Bush is an idiot. The presidential race is heating up and global warming this and energy conservation that.
Is it deja vu, or is the news becoming an endless stream of regurgitated, depressing bulls--t?
The same things seem to be going on and on without change, and quite frankly, it's gotten annoying and boring. Figure it out already. I don't care what the universal "they" do, but whatever it is, make it quick, because the universal "it" is getting old.
Here's my suggestions: Use the water that's melting from the polar ice caps due to global warming to make California wet enough to not start on fire every other day. Give Iraq to the Palestinians and let the Jews have Israel. Nuke Iran so it realizes nuclear bombs aren't that cool.
Did I forget anything?
Oh yeah, the president.
I was going to say something like tie him to the nuke we send to Iran, but for once, I'll let him be. He means well.
