Subject: "Mid Air Dinner Menu" is "Breaking News?" - idiocy!!
This is the onscreen graphic for MSNBC at the moment, and the
funniest thing
I've seen on television in a long time:
"BREAKING NEWS: Ramsey suspect's mid-air dinner included pate and fried
prawns."
Truly, no detail is unimportant in the world of the 24-hour cable news
networks. Please pardon my impertinence for saying this, but SO WHAT?
(FYI, he'll be landing at about 9PM tonight -- I'm sure MSNBC and others
will comment on how smoothly the plane hit the runway and what it
might mean
for the case if there is a prolonged taxi to the gate.)
That said, for more astute insight into the developing MSM fiasco
known a
"Jon Benet" check out Arianna's latest piece at:

right_b_27571.html
But I think John Stewart said it best the other night: War and
terrorist
threats are all less important than a break in a 10 year old murder
case.
And that's just sad.
