I waited through the day and am about to leave for an evening of dining out (I'll be baaaack in four hours or so), but cannot wait to make this observation about our times:
The New York Times reported 24 hours ago that it was possible that the US invasion of Iraq could have been avoided entirely because the Iraqis proffered what amounted to an unconditional surrender (see my post below entitled "Watching the Fur Fly") just about the same time as it was reported that the "biographer" of Jessica Lynch announced (without Jessica's memory of the event) that she was raped.
It's now a full newsday after these announcements, of somewhat differing global dimension, one would think. And guess which is trumpeted by the media (I won't link to the trumpets, because they're everywhere), and which is mute (and hence no links, notwithstanding that the Gray Lady was, after extensive investigation, the source).
Later tonight I'll check to see whazzup with the reporting, but there's no way anything now disseminated, after everybody's locked onto "Friends" or "Enemies" or whatever we TV-addicted idiots will be watching, can displace the rape report.
And so it goes. American media, and its slaves, abiding in the trough.
