Son of a Pig Farmer

I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. I was listening to an NPR hourly news summary, and I heard the following (in this order):

The White House says we may be able to start reducing troop levels because the conditions have dramatically improved.

Next story…

A suicide bomber blew up a bunch of police offices- the fifth such attack this week.

Huh? Really? Then …

US GDP grew a little, but things won’t get much better until fuel prices (among other things) begin to come under control.

Next story…

Exxon reported the single largest quarterly earnings ever and the biggest of any US corporation EVER- more than $11B

But it’s all good, because…

We found water on Mars.

Oh goody. Does this shit make anyone else completely bonkers?
