News Jog 9/28/07

Yes we know it's Friday but please don't bother tossing that ubiquitous loser bromide -Thank God It's Friday!- at the Jog today. We hate the sentiment and run as far away as we can from anyone who utters it. People who say -Thank God It's Friday!- reveal themselves as slaves who work for others, not themselves. What they're really thanking God for is the fact that no one will demand that they be productive for the next two days. What losers. Every day is an opportunity to be productive if you have a goal beyond serving the man all week so you can take a leak off a boat on the weekend. Shake it off and wake-up zombies- Thank God It's Monday!- is the cry of the winner. Thank God I have another opportunity to produce and succeed and fashion the life I want out of this world!
Happy Friday...

The Jog doesn't want to say we told you so- but when everyone was smiling and happy about the negotiated release of those S.

Now Back to the Newsy News:
The opening round of nuke talks with N. Korea are going well according to the diplomats involved. The Jog doesn't really trust those wily bastards- but hey, maybe Kim Jong-il has had a genuine change of heart. Maybe he's like one of those bad guy wrestlers who has finally seen the errors of his ways and decides to shake hands with and become one of the good guys. Maybe.
