Sometimes No News Isn't Good News

There's nothing going on in the nation right now. No bombings, no terrorism, no real change in Iraq.

I know this, not because the news hacks at CNN + elsewhere actually come out and say it, but because they've spent the last 5 days covering Ronald Reagan's funeral.

Yes, it's sad that he died. Yes, he was a president. The problem is, these are the only to facts that have been full and accurate truths in all of the "over and over" coverage. I only watched for 5 minutes here a nd there while I was trapped in an office or store where it was on the tube.

Jimmy Breslin's article over at NY Newsday sums it up beautifully.
