Good morning and/or afternoon. Today I present to you: stories that will not amaze you at all. I mean, really, it's like news reporting has taken a vacation. Stories so randomly worthless or overly obvious that one has to ask why waste the ink and/or videotape and/or bytes.

Like, who would have guessed that Willie Nelson Busted for Pot!



SHOCKING!

Oh, here is a story that was on ABC (All Bullshit Corporation, as far as I'm concerned) this morning that really tee'd me off. I wish I could find the link, but the feel-good story went something like this:
A woman who runs her own business and is the CEO of said business, stops paying herself so that her employees can keep their pay and without any layoffs! And, said CEO takes a JOB as a social worker to support herself, all while continuing to run her business!!!

Okay, let me get this straight. A woman starts her own business - we assume it's her dream to do so - and, in order to keep the business afloat, she keeps her employees working while she goes off to work another job? This is a story? I wonder how many others have done this? Sheesh. When I think back to how often I worked without pay to keep my business running..... No one did a story on me! Just think of all the people in this country doing that very thing right now. What makes this story even more aggravating is that she seems to have a degree high enough to take a social working job. I wonder how many newly trained social workers also needed that job?

Here's a real shocker. What's there to do in Alaska if you don't enjoy hunting, fishing, working on oil rigs or being a Governor? Not much! Which is why Alaska has a gonorrhea problem:



Have a great day and don't get an STD while smoking pot with one of your employees. Otherwise, you might be a feel-good story on Good Morning America and interviewed with really tough softball questions from George Stephonoplopoloupous.
