I HEARD

I heard...

that a major nationwide retailer is going to start Black Friday next year the day after Memorial Day

that some "low information politicians" think our electoral system puts too much power in the hands of  "low information voters"

that an NBA star making $250,000 per game (that's over $5,000 per minute played, $125 per second, and more than what a typical fan will earn in 5 years) is looking for a raise, to be paid for by higher ticket prices

that a world-renowned cruise ship company will offer a 4-day cruise in 2014 that never leaves port...it is designed for those who get seasick on traditional cruises but who now feel "left behind"

that the government, in an environmental plan to save our trees, will be opening Coupoff stores, in which it will sell packages of discount coupons for all sorts of products sold at all sorts of stores...the government, after 3-years' study, has concluded that its new stores will substantially reduce the number of trees that need to be cut down to print those massive weekend newspapers (that are never read) which now contain so many coupons...even though the newspapers have said they will have a special section offering discount coupons to Coupoff stores

that a tech startup company has developed a NapAp...it is a pillow containing a transvibrational coagulator that gives you a choice of 3,000 dreams you are guaranteed to have if you rest your head on the pillow while sleeping (in a recent survey, sexual dreams were ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the type of dreams most appers opted for)

that the reason people rarely change their mind on an important issue, no matter the persuasive power of the arguments they hear, is that they do not have a mind to change

Good days are acomin'.
