On Second Thought for Feb. 9, 2015

A lighthearted look at news of the day

The Seattle Seahawks must be fans of Mitt Romney. At least, the coaches found him influential. In the end, Mitt decided he didn’t want to run, and neither did the Seahawks.

---

For winning the Super Bowl MVP award, Tom Brady was given a new pickup truck. The Indianapolis Colts reportedly complained that the tires looked a little mushy.

---

Some people felt Disneyland should have closed down because of the recent outbreak of measles. But the people running the theme park didn’t want to do anything rash.

---

As Disneyland has learned, there are some ways in which “going viral” is not a good thing.

---

It’s funny, in all those science fiction shows about life in the 21st century, I don’t remember the plot line where people suddenly become stupid and ancient diseases once again take over the land.

---

Disneyland is hoping to make the best of a bad situation. The park will be expanding soon, opening a new “Infirmary Land.”

---

The U.S. economy really must be improving. I heard last week that even Harper Lee found work.

---

After 55 years, Harper Lee announced she is publishing a new book. At this rate, she will catch upwith Stephen King by the year 3000.

---

Harper Lee and President Obama’s budget both shared the media spotlight last week. The difference was her work of fantasy stands a good chance of ending with a profit.

---

Her book is supposed to be a sequel, of sorts, to To Kill A Mockingbird. If she really wants to modernize it, Atticus Finch should develop super powers and fight racist alien bad guys on the top of a speeding train.

---

Operating on the assumption the economy has completely recovered, President Obama’s proposed budget would raise taxes and greatly increase government spending. Sounds like he’s been listening to the Utah Legislature.

---

The Republican Congress, on finding Obama’s budget in the mail, said, “President who?”

---

RadioShack has announced it is downsizing. From now on it really will be just a guy selling a radio in a shack.

    Ha! Ha! Ha!

    Everyone likes to laugh. Some of us even like to groan occasionally. Well, you've come to the right place. "On second thought" is a weekly feature I  produce for the Deseret News, available on Mondays. But here you can read them as I think of them.
      Oh yes, and if you've got something even funnier, post it in the comments. If I like it, I may use it.
