What passes for news these days is wearying: salacious, shallow, just plain wrong.
And there's way too much of it.
It's in troubled times like these -- when the glut of information is nothing more than a deluge of empty calories for the conscience -- that I turn to The Onion.
They know it's therapeutic to make time for yourself, to hate the Yankees, to make fun of motivational speakers and skewer Washington and all who abide there.
Even the Messiah is handcuffed in the Onion's warped world.
Only when nothing is sacred can you start adding important things back, one at a time.
Enjoy the process, and the weekend.
--T.A.
Amen to that, brother.
