Az I See It....

Prologue:  One of today's great mysteries is why it takes four-weeks salary to pay for a two-week vacation!

International:  Hundreds of water samples, taken between San Francisco Bay and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - located 1,000 miles west of the California coast - have tested positive for confetti-like pieces of plastic.  While the international community is deeply concerned, and the Obama administration is pondering direct action, U.S. Republican brainiacs have declared that confetti-like plastic must be a naturally occurring phenomenon in salt-water seas!

National:  Pfizer Pharmaceuticals has been fined a record $2.3B for criminal actions, such as seducing doctors with numerous freebies - including golf, massages, and resort junkets - to influence pushing their drugs into the marketplace.  When Washington, DC lobbyists do this with politicians, it is considered political fact-finding!....BP Oil Corporation has recently completed drilling of the deepest oil well in the world, but the U.S Congress is still the world's biggest money pit!
....Most major corporations reported an increase in productivity and profits, last year, mostly by slashing the number of employees and capping their salaries and benefits.  Meanwhile, unemployment is at a 26-year high of 9.7 percent.

State:  President Obama will conduct a live broadcast, to American students, on Tuesday.  His emphasis will be on studying and working hard to benefit themselves, their families, and their communities, and that they may become anything they strive to become - even President of the United States of America!  Arizona Superintendent of Public Misinformation Tom Horne, a Republican, has declared that parents should probably consider to have their children opt-out of the broadcast, as many school districts are planning to do.  Hey - with Arizona's nationally inferior education, students may strive to become anything they want to become anyway - as long as it includes a career at McDonald's, Arby's, Wendy's or Burger King!....Another popular Republican-offered alternative is to have students watch a re-broadcast of a recent Sun City Town Hall-type rally against healthcare reform, where Sen. John McCain had a woman forcibly removed from the rally, because she continually asked McCain why American citizens cannot have the same government-paid healthcare insurance that he has - a question he refused to answer!

Local:  The American Automobile Association(AAA) will offer free tows, for up to ten(10) miles, for people who suspect they cannot safely drive-after-drinking, on this Labor Day weekend.  Or you can call Alcoholics Anonymous(AA) after the weekend, when you've already racked-up about $10K in fines, fees and attorney expenses for your impending DUI conviction.  Call AAA at 1-800-AAA-HELP(1-800-222-4357)

Epilogue:  Now and then, it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness, and just be happy!
