Pax ethnica optimism
First time scanning just brought me across the wavelength of Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC. consecutive upbeat and inspiring segments today were Pax Ethnica which emphasized areas on earth (including Queens, NY) where ethnic differences among occupants are included and embraced. This was followed by Daily Rant contributor Krystal Clear who went on a soliloquy of cautious optimism that sent me right to her FB page for a pat on the back and then here to you.

The Cuckoo Clock
THE CUCKOO CLOCK
The other night I was invited out for a night with the girls. I told
my husband that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!"
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily.
Around 3 am, a bit loaded, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up
and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed
another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such
a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with
him.
(Even when totally smashed... I knew that 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos
totals = 12 cuckoos or MIDNIGHT!).
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him,
"Midnight, honey. Just like I promised."
He didn't seem pissed off in the least.
Smugly, I told myself that I had gotten away with that one!
Then he said "We need a new cuckoo clock."
When I asked him why, he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed
three times, then it said: 'Oh, shit!', then it cuckooed 4 more times,
cleared it's throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed
twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted."

India no longer polio endemic
According to Rotary International, India is no longer suffering in a polio endemic. Now we -- or, they -- just have to keep up with the vaccinations. Are you feeling me, Jenny McCarthy?

Up until 2009, India accounted for 50% of the world's polio cases. With strong action from Rotary International and other sources the flow has been stemmed and the last case reported was in January of 2011.
