Ok Mr. and Mrs. Entrepreneur, what would be a good business in an overcrowded lifeboat where everyone has an AK-47 and mostly they’re thinking about making babies?
Top headline, New York Times: “A Star Idolized and Haunted, Michael Jackson Dies at 50.” Still on the front page; “Kentucky Pastor Invites Flock To Carry Firearms to Church.” On page A7; “Once known for its abundant peach harvest, the town, about an hour’s drive from downtown Beijing, has become one of the world’s most prodigious manufacturers of inexpensive cellos, violas, violins and double basses.”
On A9 read; “The amputations (right hand and left leg) of the four men, who had been accused of stealing items like cell phones, took place near a former animal market in front of a crowd of more than 100 people, many of them women and children.”
A10 features; “This so-called North American Union’s conspiracy to merge Mexico, Canada and the United States is part of a larger plot by an amorphous, amoral group of powerful elite to take over planet earth. (John) Birch leaders say this plot is real, with roots going back more than 200 years to a secret, insidious brotherhood called the Illuminati, and with most American presidents among its many dupes and abettors.”
I’m not confused, I’m just well mixed. Robert Frost
