Daily is Gone

Not really  , but Jon Stewart signed off on his stint as host of the      ' Daily Show ' .
M taped the finale for JS and I didn't quite get all the humour. I didn't watch regularly and there was too much intrinsic stuff.
Comedy Central really got on the map w/ that show.

Weather : unbelievably fine. rain is due in 2 - 3 days but the temperature has been season and relatively dry.

Fishing is fairly unproductive..... but I'm not getting paid by the pound or inch , thus anything is better than nothing. Besides , out there on the water , the rest of the world kinda goes away. So , bonus.

On CBC , the morning show topic was aging. Apparently , you're supposed to keep praising yourself for what you can still do - walk , talk etc , I guess. The power of positive denial or somesuch. You're whole outlook on life will be better. Can you tell , I'm a bit of a doubter

The World by the Numbers , the TorStar week end , usual.
and nothing nice either !

The topic , America's unwanted babies

21           $ billion for unintended pregnancies
1 in 20     women of reproductive age having unwanted babies
56.8         % of births in Mississippi that were unplanned
20 716      $ , as the cost of 1 st 5 yrs of a child's life
15.8          $ billion savings from investing in family planning

Kenya dishonest government

145          of 174 , ranking of Kenya in transparency of gov't
12 000     # of false names on gov't payrolls , when audited
16            % of gov't statements , labelled misleading
2             $ billion transferred to off shore accts , illegally
1.2          % of 16 billion budget that was spent effectively

Its not me , these reports are all like this - I'm not even making anything up
