AGAIN?
This is your breaking headline news story of the day:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/03/12/craigslist.economy/index.html?iref=newssearch
A guy that makes $70K a year, drove expensive cars, wore fancy clothes, took his eleven year old to VEGAS for her birthday every year (staying in the most expensive hotels), and has to move back in with his MAMA after four months of not being employed? This is not a "hard knocks" tale, this is a story about someone living like an idiot.

More from our neighbors to the north...
http://www.vancouversun.com/Life/Yarn+bombers+take+Vancouver+streets/1342756/story.html
I'm sure I'm going to get some major hate mail from artistes for this one... but YARN BOMBING?!?!?!?!? These so-called "activists" are "bombing" the inner city with doorknob koozies. "Guerrilla knitters!?!?” In surreptitious UNIFORM (one admits to knitting herself a pink balaclava guerilla suit)?
"Knitting tags is almost all i do now," said one person on "www.yarnbombing.com."
Seriously, the rest of us only wish we had so much free time.
Maybe I'm just from DC, and we're too damn practical. But I did go to art school, and I can say damn well that anyone who rambles about "looping love across the planet" really, really needs to step out more. I daresay there are a lot of folks and animals out there that could benefit from some warm knitted clothing, you know, instead of a lightpost that's been "tagged." Once upon a time, activism had a pratical purpose beyond "looping love."

The world will burst forth with warm fuzzy yarns of every breed and color, every heart will soften as it connects looping love across the planet stitch by stitch till there is no separation in our smiles.
