With the current political and social climate in America, and with so many people standing up and letting their voices be heard, I'm sure this isn't a particularily original thought, but The Family Circus sucks hard. I read it today, and this was the joke: One kid is sitting on a chair and saying to another kid: "I don't want to go to the mall... I'm broke". What? They've just been running that comic for so long that they've run out of any possible joke involving those kids (and Notme), so now they're just putting in random sentences. Tomorrow is going to be the mom saying "I love how fresh onion buns smell" to the dad. Actually, putting 'buns' and 'smell' in the same sentence might be a bit too risque for TFC.
I was watching the home channel of my cable company yesterday for a second and the little news ticker was on with all the lame little tidbits, and this one went by: Researchers say sex lowers stress levels"... This has to be the one hundredth time someone has done a study on this and it's wound up as a little news tidbit on some show I have watched or listened to. I can't imagine who doesn't already know this fact, and I was trying to figure out why they bother doing these studies anymore, and then I realized: Scientists just love watching people do it.
