Theater of the absurd

Sometimes, especially recently, you have to take a page from an old book of cliches and laugh to keep from crying.

Someday maybe I'll write a book of my own and let people take pages out of that.

That potential notwithstanding, after days of absurdity, a celebrity hero from deep in my early childhood psyche popped up in the news. Glen Campbell blew a .20 into a Breathalyzer in Arizona. According to the Associated Press:

Officers say the singer kept saying, "Do you know who I am? I'm Glen Campbell" and sang his hit "Rhinestone Cowboy" while in a cell.

That's just about as absurd as it gets.

I'm now--officially--disilliusioned with everything.
