A lighthearted look at news of the day:
As part of the international campaign against the terrorist group known as ISIS, Iran recently launched a bombing raid against ISIS within Iraq. Or as an ancient proverb says, “The enemy of my enemy gives me an excuse to bomb the heck out of my enemy … and my enemy.”
---
The state of Utah is proposing a new clean-air rule. Basically, if your house catches fire any time between November and March, you could be cited for illegally burning wood.
---
The state’s plan is to outlaw all wood burning during the winter. Not to worry; I’m sure restaurants that have to begin offering salmon smoked with buffalo chips will still be popular.
---
Smoke from burning wood is toxic. So is freezing to death. What a tough choice our ancestors must have had.
---
The Utah Prison Relocation Commission is zeroing in on a spot where no local residents will object to having a prison next door. Unfortunately, however, the state can only store prisoners on the top of King’s Peak in the winter, and they won’t be able to burn wood to keep warm.
---
The Utah Republican Party is suing to stop the implementation of a new law that would change how parties select candidates. The party wouldn’t have to resort to such drastic action if only it wielded real political power in this state.
---
The political action committee called “Ready for Hillary” is selling Hillary Clinton Christmas ornaments. Think of them as conversation starters for when the family comes for the holidays.
---
The PAC also sells Hillary onesies, or as they will be known in some quarters, “A gift that guarantees you’ll never be asked to babysit.”
---
I’ve got to hand it to these folks, they know how to carve out a niche. Chris Christie onesies, however, would be real traffic-stoppers.
---
Toddler-wear is about right for the way most politicians behave these days.
---
Jeb Bush recently told the Wall Street Journal that if he runs for president, he won’t pander to the right wing in order to get the Republican nomination. Heartbroken right-wingers responded by saying, “OK.”
