Baseball, Murder, Cancer and On And On And On
So the Yankees won. Finally. After 100 games or however many it was. Still, it counts as good news. Not good enough to erase all the years they not only didn't win the Series but all the years they didn't go at all. It also doesn't make up for the murder spree in Texas.
Most of all, it doesn't make up for cancer. Yesterday it was Bill Wundram and today it's Laverne. Why doesn't cancer ever get it right? Well, it does sometimes but hardly ever. Barely enough to even mention. Tony Snow is the only case I can remember off the top of my head where cancer did something useful. I'm sure there are others but why is that so rare?
Why didn't I wake up this morning and see that Rush Limbaugh has a brain tumor (OOOps... bad example because he would have to have a brain to get a tumor in it so change that to colon cancer)? Is that too much to ask for? I don't think so but no, it's always Bill or Penny or George Harrison or Frank Zappa or Farrah Fawcett or Ted Kennedy or any one of a million others that we can't afford to lose. And the ones it should be getting rid of remain untouched.
Another person that should get cancer is the person that Barb Ickes wrote about today...and she did such a good job that I had to create a brand new award: Local Writer Of The Day---It's going to be very unpredictable but I suspect that if you call your bookie right now and bet on Shane Brown to win every Sunday for as long as he keeps writing, you won't be disappointed---...but what did happen to her is pretty funny, anyway.
I don't have time to go into a lot of depth about it, so I recommend you just go read it, but I will say that Income Maintenance Administrator Cathy Taylor for the Scott County Department of Human Services is a lot like my "boss," Putz "Shorty" McWorthless. I put boss in quotes because he never had any real power...unfortunately a lot of people were afraid to go over his deformed little head though and he managed to do a lot of damage...and now he mostly mows grass and scrubs toilets.
I hope the same fate awaits Cathy Taylor. Out of all the problems that need to be fixed in America, this is one of the biggest. And we can't count on cancer getting rid of them, so I hope that everyone who has a problem at work, school or wherever goes over the idiot's head or notifies OSHA, the Labor Relations Board or whatever else body that may be concerned or gets a good lawyer and sues. Or all of the above.
And if anyone tries to tell you that life just isn't fair sometimes and you should just live with it, well, just crush them under the immense wealth you got from the settlement because we can't count on cancer getting rid of them, either and Freedom Of Speech also applies to dolts.
Speaking of dolts who are just dumb beyond all belief and yet still have a right to say whatever is on their minds, I want to extend my sympathies to the anti-abortion crowd because the parental notification law here in Illinois was blocked again. I feel sorry for you because I know your invisible friend who lives in the sky and grants wishes doesn't like abortion. But hey, you won in Maine on the gay marriage issue. Enjoy that while you can.
