Here is one news article:
South Africa: Supporting alleged war criminals while ignoring the victims in Darfur
Very interesting.
I just did a rather amusing new-sy piece last night when I wasn't able to get to sleep...I'll submit it :)
I love Erma Bombeck.... haven't read any of her books in a long time though...should look for some.
If I were meant to be living in a bowl of cherries, I wouldn't be in the pits.
One of my favorite books of hers...
"If Life Is A Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits?"
News! All important News! I will see what I can do, but I am feeling more poetic today...
Featured in the Triple Name Club.
This should be a fun exercise! ...and one that a writer of any skill level can participate in.
I am not a big fan of the news. It's so boring for me.
But, I did a very fictional piece a long while ago. It was rather amusing, if I do say so myself. I could re-post it..
Even though Thursday is practically over. Sigh.
I lost track of time today!
I re-posted an article of mine from over a year ago.
I hope you have a chance to read it. It's hilarious!

An interesting style to think upon.
