ED BRADLEY R.I.P. (and an unrelated rant too)

If you live in the United States and you own a working television, you could hardly have missed the tragic news that the great Ed Bradley (60 Minutes) passed away last week. All the enthralling retrospectives of the man's work only serve to highlight the fact that Ed's unfailing sense of humanity and knack for highlighting the plight of the underdog are exactly what's missing in today's news reporting. It's only now that the Republicans are on the way out that normal news folk are highlighting the unhappy side of the war in Iraq. Or that they totally messed up in New Orleans. What's up with that? Shame on you TV newspeople...sorry I just felt like a rant was in order here. Oh yeah and while I'm ranting, what's up with dbthb??? It seems that they're reduced to mostly ripping on things that Bobby 100s has covered. Seriously, check some other blogs for inspiration once in a while...and if you can't even crack a decent joke about our little subculture then you serve no purpose whatsover. you're boring. you need some good writers - I can recommend several so hit me up and don't play indie - we know you got that nice corporate budget. ok rant over now.
