The Cat with the Bat

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. 

“Some come from ahead and some come from behind.

“But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. 

“Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” 

—Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel, 1904-1991), children’s author and cartoonist, who would have been one-hundred-eleventy years old yesterday

• Editorial Comment: This really has nothing to do with journalism, unless it makes you think of Bill O’Reilly. Or Bibi Netanyahu. I know. It’s a stretch.
