Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere. Blaise Pascal
The theme this week is simple: we’re all in need of some humor in our lives. Let the Funny begin.
The blogger at Writing and Living is purposefully addicting herself to coffee. If you don’t think that’s funny, you don’t want to hear about my sugar addiction.
Melissa Wiley on Ordinary Time–not funny, but joyous.
OK, so sue me. This post isn’t funny either, but Alan at Thinklings has written some interesting thoughts on the future of publishing. I still prefer my books, thank you, but I may become a dinosaur. “Yes, children, Granny still reads books printed on paper. Just can’t get used to that new-fangled iReading.”
Peggy Noonan on Joe Biden: “The great thing about Joe Biden during the Alito hearings, the reason he is, to me, actually endearing, is that as he speaks, as he goes on and on and spins his long statements, hypotheticals, and free associations–as he demonstrates yet again, as he did in the Roberts hearings and even the Thomas hearings, that he is incapable of staying on the river of a thought, and is constantly lured down tributaries from which he can never quite work his way back–you can see him batting the little paddles of his mind against the weeds, trying desperately to return to the river but not remembering where it is, or where it was going. I love him. He’s human, like a garrulous uncle after a drink.”
Now that’s funny.
Finally, if you haven’t seen the blonde joke that’s making the rounds, it takes a while to get to the punchline, but it’s worth it.
