Too much media today. First, I tried to track down some information on the internet by visiting cancer websites. Imagine clouds of bubble gum tulle. I've been bludgeoned by hope.
Next, the cancer blogs: Ladies with less common cancers complaining about the popularity of breast cancer. Twice I saw breast cancer referred to as "sexy".
Then: Virginia Tech, and callers demanding to know why the shooter wasn't marked as a potential killer after turning in a violent creative writing piece. Reporters talking about "loners". Ted Nugent pleading with Americans to arm themselves.
George W. comments on the value of prayer.
Enough already!
The most yakky and the least read blog on the world wide web!

I'm with you. Breast cancer is sexy? Ugh. And though I feel for the families who lost loved ones at Virginia Tech, the media barrage is obscene. What's up with the spin? The gunman was an ENGLISH MAJOR!! He was a LONER!! If they were profiling that way when I was in college, I would have been in trouble.
I had the same thought -- although I know that the fella who did this was on a whole different level of nuttiness.
However, I was a "loner", would sometimes not speak when spoken to (after having been f***ed with for years) and wrote bizarre stories about a character named Boogersnot Pinickleicklelee.
It's a tragedy all around, but boy do I dislike those reporters.
