I had to go to the store again this morning, in the pouring rain… so I turned on the radio to keep me company.
First I heard an ad for a breast cancer drug, one of whose side effects was–well, death. It could kill you. Other side effects, recited with blinding speed, include nausea, loss of hair, heart disease, shortness of breath, muscle weakness, loss of balance–
Who’s gonna take this stuff? It might help you. But if it doesn’t, you’ll be sorry.
On the heels of this message came nooze that today is the first No Meat, No Dairy Friday in New York’s public schools.

Oh, boy. Not only do you have to suffer through a day at school. You also have to eat cauliflower or some other veggie slop for lunch. Then they teach you you’re a racist. What’s not to like?
So I turned off the radio. Enough is enough.
