Good one! Love the dog meme too!
Yeah. My daughter sent me that. I send her depressing news about the state of American news media and she sends me happy stuff. HER favorite cartoon (from me) was one that referenced her indifference to paying any attention to world events or even American politics (shes in Laos teaching English). It said something like "my desire to remain informed is seriously at odds with my desire to remain sane." Can't blame her.
