Last week seemed like a silly week and that’s why this week’s News Briefs seem a bit silly, too.

Although, when you get to that last story about energy prices, you might not feel like laughing very much.

Other than that, this week I’m preoccupied with the annoying habit that the people in Congress have developed of asking corporate executives for information when they want to know what’s up with us.

Why won’t they ask us? Are we that scary? It can’t possibly be that we’re that difficult to find … well, maybe it is. But I think they could find us if they wanted to. And there’s just too much stuff they’ll never learn if they keep asking people from companies like Amazon and Google.
