A series of killings
I just saw this link on the front page of CNN.com about the aftermath of the Scott Peterson trial.
A few things grab me about this. First, have we run out of important news to be putting fluff like this on CNN.com's front page? Second, how sad is it that some people are going to "miss" the trial of a now-convicted double-murderer?
Unrelated to that, but equally as important, why didn't Oklahoma blank Nebraska this past weekend? I'll take a "shellacking", but I would have preferred the much easier to spell "shut-out." Sadly, I don't have the means to stuff little yellow post-it notes that read 30-3 throughout Simps' belongings as he did to me back in '92 when we were roommates and OU lost 33-9. C'est la vie.

The fact is that everyone is waiting for the release of DOOM III on the Mac platform. This explains the lack of news in the global media.

It's like post-coital depression. Same damn thing happened after O.J.
People are pathetic.

Post-coital depression?!! What the heck is that? I've experienced post-coital sleeping, but never depression...
A bigger question about that trial is why that one case made national news when people are murdered every day and barely make local news...

Little post-it notes aren't nearly as impressive as the world-wide audience that the Brad Hole commands!
And my team sucks royally now...rejoice in my pain o' hallowed one.

Maybe most of the media is still recoiling after GWB's return to power....

The trial is a distraction from the horrific violence in Iraq that our leaders don't want us to think about. I've paid the trial no attention whatsoever.
