What's News ?

I checked my local paper today for any mention of yesterday's Kucinich/Paul sponsored Congressional briefing on the Lancet study. mmm nuthin'
The Lancet study tries to determine how many PEOPLE have been killed since WE invaded Iraq.
Later in the day, I bought a New York Times. They had a Kucinich to run in '08-he's a vegan story, but no yesterday's briefing stuff.

This evening I turned on the godamned TV and flipped through the "news" channels to find nothing but douchebags and bullshit.

How many thousands of bombs ?
Are the bulletts in the millions?
Do they have water yet?
Do they have sewer systems?
Does the garbageman come around once a week?
Who is in charge of this sick insanity?

MSNBC's Scarborough was doing American Idol news and Hollywood gossip.
Larry King had a Laci Peterson update.
Glenn Beck sure sucks.
Hannity and colmes featured some of that four-guys-talking-at-once poopla. You decide.

The Lancet thing was on C-SPAN. Toward the end of the breifing, Kucinich opened the floor for questions from the press. The camera turned to the audience of empty chairs, a few kids, and one reporter with a question.
