I used to weekly blog my horrifying harvest of news headlines, figuring folks would look at the facts and ponder and get my point; plus to me they were surreal found poems worthy of thought and time.
But I grew tired of passing on the negativity of political life and economic class warfare as we know it.
In proclaiming the darkness of our Corporatocracy existence, I created a moral dilemma — should I ignore the dark underbelly of life in America and try to spread hope and joy instead in an effort to light the path to better possibilities, or should I turn over the rocks and expose the parasitic CEOs and their slave politicians in hope I would damage the bad while enlightening others which would ultimately lead to good.
Still haven’t solved that one. I’ll probably continue working both sides of the street since that’s what I do.
But I can’t stop harvesting headlines and I’ve got this humungous pile of crap laced with humor and plain out and out oddness; and since I figure the humor of the surreal always helps no matter which path one walks, here’s some of the apolitical non-class warfare headlines that made my brain smile or jerked my oddness meter this past year.
Enjoy — no thought required; in fact in a Buddhist sort of way, no-thought of no-thing is even better.
