The Lighter Side
Rev. James L. Snyder

So, this is how the world ends

• Since the election, there has been a lot of jibber-jabber by the kings and

queens of jibber-jabber about some financial cliff we are facing. I have no idea what they are talking about, and I have a suspicion they do not either, but if I am to guess I would say, it is not a great leap of faith.
• The great thing about being a jibber-jabber is you do not have to know what you are jibber-jabbering about. In fact, the less you know the more you can jabber your jib.
• As one great American consumer and I only speak for myself, I am tired of all of this nonsense.
• In the light of this, I bring good news concerning this ominous financial cliff. I am always happy to bring a little bit of good news in the midst of all of the twaddle and idiotic jibber-jabbing that goes on in our country. I know good news does not make the front page but I think it helps those of us who are tired of the bad news.
• The good news concerning this financial cliff is that we do not have to worry about it at all, thanks to the Mayan's calendar. Wherever they are, somebody needs to congratulate them on saving not only our world but also our country from a financial disaster. If we had the time, I would recommend that they be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
