“Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it.”   —   René Descartes

(This is a great idea, from a real thinking man.  We all think, but too many of us allow our feelings to dictate our thoughts and actions.  Especially, feelings of hurt, shock and disgust.  The corporate media knows this all too well, which is why they force feed us what was once known as police blotter, tabloid fodder, in lieu of serious news, that might actually affect us.  They play to our baser emotions.  Titillation has, in large part, replaced information.  We would all do well to learn to detach ourselves from these baser feelings, when we’re hearing and seeing hurtful and offensive material.  We grow from acting on the intellectual, not by reacting to the visceral.  Do good and be well . . . informed, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  I had such high hopes for the CBS This Morning show, until this morning’s shameless promotion of this week’s episode of Undercover Boss, which is a CBS quasi-reality show, by “anchor/reporter” Gayle King.  Undercover Boss is the most manipulative show on television!  Aw gee, these CEOs and presidents have a heart, after all!  Sniff!  They’re just like me and you!  What a surprise that this show first came on the air following the huge government/taxpayer funded bailouts, and is getting more play in response to the Occupy Movement.  Boy, do these network people know suckers when they see them!   —   YUR

(And some people think that books are boring!?!  Not bad, at all!  One trusty old standby, in “brave”.  The place where my wife and daughter live on the weekends.  And, two new clue words, in “twirl” and “biopsy”.  Boy.  At my age, it seems like every other person I talk to is bringing up the word “biopsy”!  Bummer, dude.  All the clue words were well jumbled, today.  And, the answer letter layout was a thing of beauty!  Atta boy, Dave!  Jeff’s a little over the top, today.  A crown, a cheesy moustache, an ascot and a quill pen?  And, it looks like he’s sitting on a thrown!  LOL!  Be well, do good . . . and try to keep gossip to a bare minimum.)   —   YUR (the KING of Jumble Solvers!)
