It’s not that I haven’t wanted to post, but it’s like what I heard on
ESPN radio this morning.  The announcers were breaking to cover the
announcement of the 2012 Olympic site, and one of them said something
about the fact that all the TV news stations were covering it.  His
comment was something along the lines of “This is the biggest thing in
the history of the world.”

There’s a whole lot of nothing going on, but here’s my quick thoughts:

• Child
  kidnappings are awful, and the criminals deserve the death penalty.  We
  must start looking at the cause rather than treating at the end.  How
  much pornography did this latest kidnapper have?  How was his home
  life?  Are we feeding this behavior in the name of “free speech.”
• Sandra
  Day O’Conner needed to go.  There are a few others that need to go
  also.  Better yet, I’d like to see Congress limit the ruling ability of
  the judiciary so that it dictates the rules, not the bench.
• When
  it’s a slow news day, people should say such, instead of giving us 15
  stories of a pregnant Britney Spears or how Paris Hilton wants to get
  married in Westminster Abbey, but can’t because she’s not royalty. 
  This is the time when they should be doing more stories about progress
  in Iraq, UN corruption, problems in Africa, etc.  There are pleanty of
  newsworthy stories out there that don’t require us going after people
  who just crave attention.

That’s it for now.  I’ll let you know if I find something that’s worth posting.
