It is hard for my pithy brain sometimes to process information as it streaks out from the radio over FM and tries to enter my half asleep being which is sort of focused on keeping the commuting vehicle on track.
Here are some distractions -
If someone's half brother dies as some headline indicated what happens to the other half?
Is he colorless?
Why are we devoting endless hours and sound bites at top of the hour to update the nation on what others thought of what could have been a psychotic mother wanting to rid her own toddler? Face it folks - we humans are the craziest species that lived.
Then there is the budget impasse. Really? Present time we are spending more than we are making so huh - watch that wallet and shake hands no?
The latest Prince and Princess from the continent (between reproductive activity, which is job 1) went traveling to North America and made photo ops and news by sending a puck into a hockey net. Native Indians among others cheered.
And then the coverage of the newest batch of presidential hopefuls making their plea to the gullibles - for getting elected in 2012. What an interesting string of characters...Again!
Politics and wars aside there were some human achievements worth noting - I did catch a few - some came from the other side of the planet -
China just unveiled the longest bridge (around 43 km in length) across a body of water (not sure of the use of the word 'body' here but it seems to be the norm, especially since it can be confused by my muddled brain as a person - which is not a big deal - one person is hardly worth building a bridge over - I say that since humans are made of 75% water).
Their GDP grew at around 10% (above forecasts) - of course for a country breaking out its like the initial acceleration leading them to spew out industrial output at record pace.
Stateside - the space shuttle went out with a bang for its last voyage. 30 years of history making flights (135 in all). Costly but worth watching.
A tall and gangly Czech again beat an established tennis player in women's tennis (we had not seen one since Navratilova) at the Championships in Wimbledon, England.
