The Fascination with That Which Needs No Analysis

You'd think the news would have more things to report today. The news channels stayed glued to Mount St. Helens (which blew the day I graduated college, incidentally) all day when all it's done is spew gas.

I mean, I guess they could watch Bush after he's chowed down on Texas baked beans, too, if they want to see noxious gas that's more than he usually belches. But why would you?

Oh, I understand. There was no Florida hurricane and we don't want to bother with the inconvenient news where reporters and investigations are needed. Gotcha.
