Okay, I actually have been very busy with Thanksgiving, setting up the Christmas decorations, soccer tournaments, etc., but I keep looking for something new to write about. In the last month we’ve had elections, economic reports, coups, countercoups, threats, counter threats, but what is really different?
Economists are saying recovery is just around the corner again/still.
The economy is still in the dumper again/still.
Washington is gridlocked again/still.
Lindsay Lohan is in trouble again/still.
Our president is the president again/still.
Everyone says we have to solve the tax / deficit / immigration / jobs / global warming problem again/still.
No one is actually willing to do anything about the tax / deficit / immigration / jobs / global warming problem again/still.
I keep looking for something – anything – that is new enough to inspire me, but, alas, I continue to fail. And I mean really fail. I’ve tried to write another science fiction serial, but there needs to be something, instead of nothing, which is what we’ve got.
(Even the graphic I tried to put here showed up as nothing…..)Fortunately, there is enough nothing to go around. If every American had his fill of nothing every day through the holidays and well into next year, there would still be enough nothing left for future generations.
Wal-Mart considered outsourcing nothing to lower cost Asian and Central American companies, but these emerging economies wanted nothing to do with it.
Jerry Seinfeld already did a television series about nothing, so there’s nothing to be done there.
So we have to ask ourselves, “Is nothing sacred?”
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
