Don’t Know Where to Start

Lots of news this morning, most of it bad.

  • My daughter and son-in-law lost a dear friend Thursday night when his motorcycle was hit head-on by a drunk who was being pursued by the police.  In a ghastly irony, the guy driving the car was a close friend of the victim.
  • The US was officially represented for the first time at yesterday’s Hiroshima Memorial Ceremony.
  • Elena Kagan was confirmed as a member of the Supreme Court.
  • The head of HP, asked to resign by the board after allegations of sexual harassment, was given $10 million to go away.
  • Ten medical aid workers were ambushed and murdered in Afghanistan.
  • A Leukemia patient’s COBRA insurance was (almost) cancelled because she underpaid her premium by a penny. (story)

The list just goes on and on.

I’m giving the world the weekend to get its act together.  My birthday is Monday, and I’m going to be too old to have to deal with this kind of crap.
