I read the news today. Oh boy...
"Britney Spears ordered to undergo random drug tests"
Completely useless information, yet apparently quite newsworthy at the same
time. Neat trick.
War/famine/disease didn't show up until page 26. Guess it will have to
settle for playing second fiddle to BS.

Probably put on another pot of coffee. Looks like it's going to be yet
another LONG night for the Marlins' pitching staff.
Speaking of which, always a sucker for buy-one-get-one-free specials at the
local grocery store, I rolled the dice and purchased a brand of coffee that
I used to think was just a cheapy Maxwell House-type blend: Eight O' Clock
(whole bean.)
Not bad, I must say. And @ (2) 12 oz. bags/$3.99, the price was right...

Been drinking this for years. Periodically someone will review the
grocery store coffees and it comes out very well or at the top. I've
grown a little partial to the hazelnut blend, which seems a little
more mellow. Coffee has come a long way from when I grew up and the
old percolator turned coffee into a metallic-tasting bitter semi-solid
that looked like it had been used for an intestinal flush.
I'm sure I could find a better coffee than Eight O'Clock, but at that
hour of the morning the mouth woolies keep me from being too critical.
As to disasters- I'm inclined to think the fed rate cut has staved one
off for a little while, but that they are drunk with power, and the
old technique of drinking more to prevent a hangover just results in a
bigger hangover when it comes.
