Too much bad news

Yesterday morning, I watched the "news" for about 1/2 an hour and basically noted this:
1. dead baby dolphins are washing up all over the panhandle (oil, perhaps? tests await)
2. Kaddahfi (which is spelled about 12 different ways in all the press I have seen, even the NYT) is a plastic surgery faced nutjob who thinks he still lives in pyramids in Mesopotamia and is in total denial of his reality.
3. Wisconsin people are a bunch of whiny babies who think they are ENTITLED to more, (of course we must sacrifice...I mean THEM, not ME way of thinking is such a turnoff for me). This is the problem with our country. People want everything, but aren't willing to give up any bit. So, bring on more social programs and let's turn our country into an even more infantile and needy place. That seems to help with raising self reliant, intelligent, responsible people doesn't it?
4. All commercials during daytime deal with anxiety, depression, hairloss, bipolarism, allergies, flacidity and any other problem we might have. Pop a pill...there are no ads for nutrition, exercising, etc. Those don't have huge lobby funds or the money of pharmaceuticals.

So...I give you the wonderful GLEE from Fox. A subtly devilish show that uses humor to highlight the craziness of society- bullying, racism, homophobias and other small maladies that run amuck..all in a microcosm of high school life. Of course, they deal with these issues by singing! It's a very funny and sharp show. The past two episodes Phillip and I have laughed out loud at. Very very adult oriented and very modern. Enjoy some past episodes performance spots, but you should watch the show sometime for the witty dialogue, quick or you'll miss it one liners and of course, Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester, the Cheerios coach with a closet full of jogging suits.
