Today is not necessarily a slow news day as there are articles galore to read, ponder and discuss.
A favorite topic for the last several days seems to be predictions that pundits are making about the contents of President Obama’s State of the Union address tonight. Heady stuff indeed, if you happen to be a journalist and make the correct call.
Take your pick for suggested talking points; it could be the deficit, healthcare, jobs, Afghanistan, foreclosures, banking regulation – perhaps all of the above plus more - the list is pressing and seems endless.
Then again, maybe in light of so many national concerns we should turn our attention to something more frivolous.
The video below will momentarily take your mind off reality; it’s a satirical fake-news segment that was produced several months ago by The Onion, the Chicago-based tabloid and online news source, which often creates controversial news of its own.
In my humble opinion, I wish the problems facing our country were a bit more like this.

This is great! All of us are under great stress and it is important that we keep a wagging eye on the powers to be.
Yes the news would certainly be more fun and the world could be more carefree. What a wonderful world it would be.
