Smacking Head Repeatedly into Wall

All the media wants to discuss today is Michael Jackson's indictment by a grand jury on child endangerment charges today. The chances of this affecting any American personally is so statistically small compared to so many of the other newsworthy events today not being covered, such as Chuck Hagel's discussion of reininstituting the draft yesterday, of Bush daring to appear as an Earth Day president, of continued problems in Iraq (and let's not forget Afghanistan even if the Bushies have), and some type of acknowledgement by the public that they're sick to death of chickenhawks like Bush, Cheney, and Rice target shooting at real vets like John Kerry and Max Cleland.
