Everyone's heard about the Pennsylvania miners who were caught underground for n days and miraculously made it out alive. Amazing, huh? Yeah.

The question is, why are we being inundated with a pointless human interest story when there are much bigger things going on? I know, this isn't the first time human interest trumped important politcs, but this story is just so inane. Horrible mishap, lots of pain and fear, jubilation. I've heard this story before and it is just isn't important.

Sorry for the frustration, but network news today is complete bullshit. Just watch Bowling for Columbine or Journeys with George. Either movie will give you an idea of how the news is totally filtered to provide you with what is profitable or what is "best for the country."

Ughhh. That's enough. Maybe one day I'll write a more thought out piece, but for now it will have to be pissing and moaning.
