How do you really dig deep into the news of the day?

How do you really dig deep into the news of the day?

            One of the problems with trying to use ‘comedy’ as a starting point is that not everyone has the same sense of humor.  So, if you don’t think it is funny, just switch to the serious points in this thesis.

            Another major problem for one wishing to blog is; what is there to talk about.  I mean really, look at the front pages of today’s internet based news reporting, let’s see, there is that war thing going on, well actually there are a lot of those going on, or hoping to go on, all around the globe.  That’s yesterday’s news really, right? Like when are those guys who try to sell newspapers going to get to the punch line, it has become like daytime soap operas, oh, by the way I am sad that ‘As the World Turns’ is finished.  I played sick a lot when I was younger so I could stay home from school and watch that one with my mom.

And is there another auto recall?  From BMW no less, now those guys made nice cars and motorcycles once upon a time, but who can afford a car these days anyway?  And why do we all need one… because like lemmings we let the few dictate the evolution of the social species.  Now we can network out the whazoo (anyone want to join my FaceBook tribe) and never leave home, unless we have to get in our car and drive out of the subdivision to buy some more beer.  Now why can’t someone invent home delivery for that?

Another headline reads “Koreas agree to a reunion of families separated by Korean War”.  Didn’t anyone in the writing or editing department of the new ‘on line’ news journals go to school?  It was the Korean conflict not the Korean war.  I hate the language thing, there are so many ways to send a message but one does have to be careful.  Sometimes word usage matters, like when you want to be correct, but thankfully it usually doesn’t, such as when you want to augment a political point of view.

This is becoming too serious, I’ll switch to the ‘on line travel section’ where you can embrace so much of the distant local with on the spot video access you never really have to leave you home, “Can you please deliver a large pizza with anchovies.”  I’ll be exploring the Galapagos Islands tonight.  Well, back to being serious again, I won’t be going to the Galapagos Islands, ever, not after those stupid ideas they planted into Darwin’s head.  I mean look what happens when you lay out on the beach with your beagle, beagles are great for sniffing out real babes, and have one too many margaritas.

After traveling around the states (the ones that are termed United, of course one of them was Texas and some there want to disunite) which brings me to Quebec.  I go there by taking a wrong turn.  Actually I loved living there and while there I got to learn a lot about local issues like the green mountain state (les montagnes vertes) and its neighbors in the new of the Hampshire’s and of course the main state will all, if given a little nudge, would secede from the Union and join Quebec in launching the new United Archaic Emirate.  They have so much in common (they say in Quebec) such as the entire region is inundated with rustic little villages and ski lodges with names that can be switch from English to French without skipping a beat.  Of course the Emirate would have a pass time that coincided with Easter where everyone would visit a sugar shack (cabine de sucre) and with the spring maple harvest in a bucket, happily lean over and lick syrup off each other’s body parts. “Don’t worry,” says Jim Gaffigan, “there is a bunny.”

Saverio Monachino's writing style has been termed by some as 'Kurt Vonnegut meets Mark Twain'.  Saverio describes it as 'comic fiction noir'. Regardless of the terms used, his attempt is to use humor to open the door to serious discussion about very important human issues.  You can find Saverio Monachino on www.comicfictionnoir.com.
