My Take #1-- Lots of People Squawking on TV These Days

I heard a guy on TV say that Newsweek wrote an article on how US was not the best country in the world to live anymore. They ranked Finland, Sweden and Norway ahead of the US. The announcer said Newsweek must be pro-socialist. Think again buddy. That was probably some nebbish Ivy League writer from Manhattan on a European sex vacation. Got his mind blown by some 6 foot blonde Swedish waitress.

The other thing in the news is gay marriage-- very controversial. It's okay, I'm all for marriage. But it's not like the old days. My parents have been married 62 years. And i'm their oldest kid. Guess how old I am-- 61 years. That's how they did it in the old days... wham, bam -- have a kid. Nowadays you gotta wait till your 35 years and try to conceive. So you consult the fertility expert, or you go the artificial insemination route.... My dad's name is -- Donor.

So women are going for the donor instead of the boner.

But here's the problem-- everybody wants a kid that looks like Denzel Washington, plays ball like Derek Jeter, has brains like Bill Gates and has a moustache like Geraldo Rivera.

Instead they get a creepy little introvert with an X-box fetish, toothpick legs and a great moustache.

I used to be a taciturn farm boy from the Midwest, the high plains, the golden wheat fields where the antelopes and buffalo played until we killed them, along with the Indians. Now I'm a hardboiled, big city reporter for the Daily Planet.
