Things Work Again
For the past week or so the images that make up almost all of this blog had inexplicably disappeared. Well, now they're inexplicably back. It is a week after Reagan died today, and finally the wall-to-wall news coverage has faded. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart actually did a piece on this (Wednesday the 9th...I think) very same issue that had me angrily blogging on the 6th. Looks like I'm above average in my intolerance of things... wow that can't be good.

CNN sucks, and if I had access to FOX News on this TV I'm sure I'd be saying the same about them and illogically expanding it to all American news media. Reagan died yesterday, and I don't care. Today is the 60th anniversary of D-Day, and I also don't care; HOWEVER, when Colin Powell comes on Wolf Blitzer in Normandy at the cemetery and is told "we'll get to D-Day later, tell me about Ronald Reagan" there is something wrong. Not only that, but I was actually unable to tune in to CNN at all yesterday (by "tune in" I mean go on a 4-8 hour binge) and find a story NOT about Reagan's death. If terrorism was suspected, maybe I'd understand. Not only was yesterday's reported news exclusive to Reagan, but SWEET TAP DANCING CHRIST why today as well? There are any number of things happening today that are more important than a 93 year old destructive president croaking and being worshiped like some saint had been inexplicably removed from our graces. For example: The rebellion in the Democratic Republic of Congo took yet another town. Did you even know there was a rebellion in the Democratic Republic of Congo? NO! Because our news media would rather we weep for what was (swear to god even though I don't believe in him) quoted by some "liberal" CNN reporter as "a wonderful and deceptively simple plan: smaller government, lower taxes, and a dramatically bigger military". Somebody either shoot me or help me move to France.
