THIS FUNNY COUNTRY

I knew today was going to be a bad day.

Apparently during the night I had installed a new toilet paper roll and had done so incorrectly. Why would anyone want the T/P to drop down from the back of the roll?

So, your response is TMI about T/P - right?

Actually, there is a lot of that going on. Getting confused - I mean.

I reviewed my E -mail today and discovered there are people out there who want to find me luxury living - but affordable - senior housing.

Of course, there are also those folks who desperately want to help me improve my stream.

So many people wanting to help me out - I'm starting to feel like Andy Rooney.

As always, after my review of the side summations to the left of each section of my USA Today, I head to the editorial pages.

Here again - people who want to help.

One writer, from Perryburg Ohio suggested we need to be more corporate friendly: "Let's all remember that when taxes, fees or even regulations are put on a business, that business often must raise it's prices to compensate - or close it's doors."

Hmmm, heretofore I thought only AIG and a few other financial institutions with familiar names - were too big to fail. Now, it's all companies.

What really bothered me is that the writer's choice of syntax reminded me very much of that I noticed in a recent op-ed piece by John Boehner, Speaker of the House.

No doubt just one of those weird "coincidinks"

One guy from Bluefield, W. Va was upset about college coaches salaries: "Faithful fans and supporters need to help stop the buck. Quit supporting such imbalance. Why are these coaches so much more important than you? You can choose to keep your money in your bank account rather than giving it to theirs!"

Obviously, some in beautiful W. Va. are still angry about coaches that cheat and run - taking the majority of the spoils with them. Should the Mountaineers miraculously appear in the BCS Championship- the powers that be need to know there's one guy who won't be watching the game.

I am however, encouraged that he thinks I still have money in my bank account to keep.

Another writer from Ohio is upset at our questionable treatment of the Florida pastor who set fire to the Quran (spelling optional) in protest of the killings in Afghanistan by Muslim extremists: "Why not put the blame where it belongs - on people who did the killings? Apparently the reader (referencing another prior editorial respondee) would blame the gun store owner for legally selling a gun to someone who later commits a crime with it instead of blaming the lawbreaker."

You got to love someone who has the ability to compartmentalize stupidity.

Another writer - this one from Tennessee- wants us to ignore folks like the good Reverend -who's out there burning qurans - suggesting that if the news media and the public completely ignored 'them' (his funeral protesting followers), not even looking at them when they protest in their despicable manner - we would probably soon see them sinking off into oblivion".

Let's see. That would be until the Reverend and his flock see the light, burn Bibles and start marching outside of Muslim Mosques with signs of encouragement and support?

I will say if burning Bibles is inevitable I hope they limit it to the King James version. It's one real tough bugger of a read.

That's about it. Time to turn that ugly dysfunctional toilet paper dispenser around.

You got to have priorities- no matter how funny our country's citizens may be.
