The last two years have been deadly for journalists, with 31 murderedaround the world this year alone, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. But a report released this past week by Reporters Without Borders documented more than two dozen who had been killed by members of organized crime since the start of 2017, including fatal attacks in Mexico and Europe that underscored the entrenched power of criminal syndicates around the world.

Journalism students, do not ever hesitate
to buy good life insurance long before you graduate.
For once you start reporting you're a target for the mob --
and you won't get a tumble from Prudential or Charles Schwab.
And if you have procrastinated, why then I think it best
you take some of your savings and go buy a Kevlar vest.

Century-old tuna companies like StarKist Co., Bumble Bee Foods LLC and Chicken of the Sea International are trying to reboot demand for tuna fish—selling it in cans, pouches and kits with trendy flavors or as a healthy snack—as they seek to hold on to their dominance in a shrinking market. WSJ
I do not like canned tuna, and don't put it in a pouch.
The stuff smells like old cat food that's been sitting on the couch.
Your clever herbs and spices cannot cover up the stink;
whenever I am served some it goes down the kitchen sink.
Albacore or yellowfin, it's all the same to me --
I told my mother long ago it ain't my cup of tea!

As President Trump’s rejection of climate science isolates the United States on the world stage, illustrated by the small U.S. delegation dispatched to this week’s United Nations climate summit in Poland, he has also presided over a transformation in the Republican Party — placing climate change skepticism squarely in the GOP’s ideological mainstream. Washington Post
Republicans treat climate change
as if it came down with the mange.
They call it fake news
or Democrat's ruse --
then head for the nearest golf range.
