HIATUS
For those who have sequestered themselves from the news after the awful mauling or inconsequential blip on the curve in Massachusetts (choose your poison here), I have a recommendation.
Today is not the day to return to your reading or hearing news.
There is more foolishness per tree in our LATimes than you could shake an axe at.
The New York Times is, as often the case, thinking too much.
Fortunately the rain had knocked CNN off the gym teevee this morning and I didn't see it.
CNBC which is sort of conservative, actually mixed, mocked the whole thing and pointed to Obama's new plans for the banks. Easy to take. Forward looking. Straight news with some wisecracks.
I can take that.
It is the dead earnestness of the media, left, right and center, that I can't abide. Start with that ponderous asshole Ed Henry on CNN.
