Just Another Day in the News Business

I was about to nominate this article about a mouse fire in New Mexico as one of the year's best.

But then with no effort I find the following articles:

Wash. Woman Suffocates Under House Clutter

Escaped cow may not be doomed after all


They sort of got lost in the mix today because in the span of a few hours, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a motorcycle accident with his son, a respected journalist dies after being mugged in one of the most affluent areas of our nation's capitol, we're watching to see how vegetized Ariel Sharon and a West Virginia Coal miner will be, Howard Stern says fuck on the radio - satellite of course, and Dick Cheney is rushed to the hospital in what I believe was an anxiety attack - they made something up about some medicine - classic panic attack symptoms, but I digress. And the maddest of all? The movie Hostel dethrones both Narnia and King Kong at the box office. What are people thinking?

Woman suffocates under house clutter? What are you trying to do, scare us straight?

I have to go home and tidy now. Thanks a lot, Ellen.

Sheesh.
