The Sunday Funnies


Picture: In the pines at Lakeview's #5 green.

Abortion is back on page one with the recent Supreme Court decision. Too bad. Back in the late '50s and early 60's it was birth control that was the topic that got people's motors running. Nowadays not much discussion about the right or wrong of birth control; lots of tried and true ways to have effective birth control, and lord knows we really should limit the human population as much as we can. Maybe in another 50 years the abortion issue will be mostly settled, or not an issue. Certainly today we have the technology (the morning after pill) to easily prevent unwanted pregnancies which would remove the majority of abortions. How come we don't make that pill as cheap and as available as a headache pill? Makes too much sense, I guess.

Our highest ranking ensurer of the rule of law is grilled and burnt, roasted and toasted. Not a pretty thing to watch or have to live through, especially if you're a Gonzales. Continuing the lancing of the boil...

Finished Vonnegut's Jailbird. Light, casual reading full of irony and incidentals and coincidences. I like the way he throws in stuff from all over the place and all over time. Am sure there is a larger truth that the author is getting at. You remember that in the end he agreed with Twain - life is a crock. Made me laugh. Now on to Hocus Pocus.

And in golf: The big boys are playing down in New Orleans and a guy by the name of Watney has the lead by two with 18 holes to play.

Lovely day - you need to go golf. Treat yourself to a two hour break.
