Slow Jews day...I mean news day.

Oy, I'm feeling sluggish today. I got my Christmas bonus, and I was thinking of doing something exciting with it. Then I realized I owe my psychiatrist money, so I paid him in cash this week. "Wow, a Benjamin," he said, which I feel is a little too cool for a shrink to say. When I said goodbye, he said, "Word." Okay, not really, but it'd be funny if he started talking like that—hip-hop circa 1985—all the time.

It's a slow news day here at crazy.inc, so I'm hitting you with this story from Alberta, Canada:

Police training inadequate, mental health advocates say [CBC Calgary]

I once had a fling with a guy from Calgary. Very boring, but I thought his accent was kind of cute.

Check out "more Calgary news" at the bottom of the article. Apparently, anti-Semitic grinches are stealing arsonists' handicapped parking spaces. Or something.
