Oh yeah…between my idea and writing I temporarily forgot, and now that I remember it may not be worth a post –so afterward I’ll expand a little to other topics…unless I get carried away hating:

I hate the way magazines and even news organizations are upping their profit  by pushing advertisement of “gift subscriptions,”  for free.  The hitch?  The recipient will automatically be switched to the charge rate once the year or stated time limit is passed.  So you may not be doing a kind service to an unsuspecting friend.  So if I’ve said this clearly, I believe gift subscriptions are a shady plot.  Do look a gift horse in the mouth.

I know that news organizations are suffering and at least I can refer you to jilldennison’s recent blog posting of Robert Reich.  I’m kinda glad I didn’t remain with my journalism major in a dedicated fashion.

Let me refer you to today’s musingsofanoldfart, where Keith Wilson, a former Republican, shares some clear-headed observations…again, in  Capitalism and Socialism Can Coexist (a needed repeat).

Has someone stopped the blatant advertising of illegal U.S. postage stamps?  If so, thanks.

A former poem now heeled [Freudian error]: Healed!

My anger sits inside

on fat haunches

and comes out at night

to eat rats.

I send my love and appreciation to all my remaining followers.  My error in this enterprise, I realize, is that I don’t spend time fraternizing with and thanking  you. No excuses.  That’s me.

(There was a slight pause, as I suspect a content screener had to see if I was dangerous).
