Seriously, folks

Do I need to say more? This greeted us Saturday when we returned from our lovely (and shopping free) trip to Seattle. The story about the worker who got killed by a WalMart throng? I mean. Really.
And that horrible picture on the cover of RMN/Denver Post of people heaving flat screen TVs out into a crowd? It's truly embarassing. I can't tell what bothers me more? All of the coverage of our "recession" where this kind of shit happens, or the suits from Michigan rolling into DC on their private jets to beg for millions of our money. AFTER debuting a freaking HUMMER the year that the Mini Cooper was introduced. Think there might be something wrong with that take on what's happening around the world?
And what a terrible place to be in for politicians... let them fail, and see the fallout of the thousands of workers, or encourage the ridiculous practices that they employ. Shitty, I tell you.
But at least Bush is going away, and to celebrate, we have gotten a subscription to the NYT since even though it's mostly bad news, it is not the worst news you can find every day. There is a small ray of hope. On our first day with the paper, we actually looked up a word in the dictionary. How often does this happen with the good old Denver Post? Exactly never in our years of reluctant subscriptions.
