Amidst the horrible turn the national news took this week, I feel deflated. I avoid news, opinion, and commentary. It all makes my head spin and my stomach roil. I found comfort with a big, fat, saucy, spicy, Chinese dinner.
From the ubiquitous fortune cookie, out tumbled my fortune: Eat your fruits and vegetables to strengthen your health.

p style=”text-align:left;”>I am perplexed. It’s not like fruits and vegetables are prevalent in Chinese food. What clairvoyance drives whoever writes these things? If we all ate more fruits and vegetables would world health improve, thereby reducing the prevalence of demented misbehavior? If only it were true.

How funny.
I’m so glad to not have to read another opinion about the events of last week.
Wouldn’t it be great if we really could stand together as a nation and seek to find a practical way to fix our tremendous cultural problems? Damn.
This post made me laugh.
