Old stories on the front page
The question my daily newspaper should answer runs along the line “What the world really needs is…?” Based on current content, that isn’t even close to what fills the front page. Let’s see what this week has offered up (think of this as a way to provide material that will be useful in a restrospection some years down the line).
We know that the NHL doesn’t like rich people deciding on team addresses, unless they already are part of the Compact. In passing, give us back our Cup, if you aren’t going to be more open minded towards that Rim chap.
We know that the Pope has an amazing plan for peace in the Middle East, which involves two countries with two separate physical addresses. I wonder if he can read a map?
We know that our National Shame (AKA Brian) never lies about things that he remembers. Pity that dementia seems to be deeply rooted. I’d like one of those envelopes filled with crisp Canadian currency, just so I could declare my newfound wealth to my taxation agency.
We know that the flu would never turn up in a local school after things have been declared clear of present danger, unless the people making the statement are unclear on the concept of communicable disease transmission. Wash your hands, not the locker doors.
We know that the economy isn’t “fixed” just yet. It seems that the current prime minister is starting to understand the definition of deficit, especially the one he assured the voter was a fiscal impossibility on his watch. Keep watching, because the next trick might be a change in prime ministers.
Meanwhile, tomorrow could bring some real news.
