Runaway Media

Did you hear the news about that bride who ran off to New Mexico? It was only on the news channels about 48 straight hours - and I mean after they learned she had runaway. I rail against the stupidity that's running rampant in the world, and a lot of that stupidity is found among the decision makers at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and other news organizations.
Why in the world would these channels go wall-to-wall with a story about a spoiled little rich girl who gets cold feet? As soon as it was learned that she ran away, close it up. It's old news. Maybe a brief mention here and there, but we're talking all day long Saturday and much of Sunday.
And talk about stupid! Where do you find all these angry experts that they bring on to interview? These so-called authorities are taking the runaway bride story so personally. You'd think she'd left them standing at the altar. First, there was this guy who thought she should be locked up. Then you had someone who would never forgive her for saying that it was an hispanic that kidnapped her. If she had said it was an oriental, he could have forgiven her. But then she'd have had a fringe element of the Asian community against her. She also said a white woman had kidnapped her. As a white man, I'm somewhat offended by that. Doesn't she think a white male has enough sense to kidnap someone? I mean, the nerve of her.
Whatever is done or not done to the girl, whatever her fiance decides to do, is really none of my concern or business. Has the human brain really become so dumbed down that we need to know all the intimate, personal details of other peoples' lives in order to be entertained?
Or, maybe we're just so tired of hearing about bombings in Baghdad that we're burnt out. Hey, perhaps I've hit on something here. But, let's find something more interesting or positive to talk about than a childish bride-not-to-be in Atlanta. Really, there are enough foolish people right here in Richmond to talk about.
In fact, if you want to know all the minutiae of my life, give me a call, or email me, I'll tell you everything you want to know and maybe a few things you'd rather not know about. For instance, do you know what my blood sugar was this morning? And, you'll never guess what I found in my ear...
