Bogus terra alert, insurgents in three countries, and what's big news?

The Hacking Case, The Hacking Case, The Hacking Case! Good LORD.

I'm sorry the woman is dead. Her husband is a lying creep. But why in the HELL do we obsess about these cases (Laci Peterson, Eliz. Smart, etc.) to the exclusion of the fact that our country is being run by an evil dictatorship. That our rights are being taken away.

And we only obsess about cases in which the women are middle class and attractive.

I know of two young women -- one pregnant, one recently gave birth -- who have been missing in Pennsylvania. The pregnant one was reportedly killed in cold blood by her married (to someone else) lover. The one still missing is blonde and pretty, but not married and probably not middle class enough for the ABRAMS REPORT.

I'm so freaking sick of this stuff.

1. Not virginal enough n/t

2. SOMEbody is looking for a dead woman who was pregnant case

so they can push a legal theory that a fetus is a human being.

Just my guess. And, if they play up the details and get the whole country all involved in it, that helps build up the sympathy factor.

The other sideshow that continues is black men at the top of their fields being brought down by unrelenting media attention and legal actions -- sure, some brought on by their own actions. Jesse Jackson (that's subsided, but notice how little attention he got in Boston), Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson....

I can't help but think that the AMOUNT and UNRELENTING nature of the publicity is non coincidental.

3. Well duh

You're right and I didn't even think of that. And Kerry voted against Laci Peterson as well. And, of course, they're always after black men. We live in such a sick country.

4. Actually they have it.

Back in my hometown of Augusta, GA a person I went to high school with murdered a pregnant woman. They are putting him on trial for her murder as well as for the death of the fetus. I'm hoping there'll be some kind of challenge to the second charge.

5. The Hacking case has gotta take the terror alert

off the front page that was designed to take Kerry's rise in the polls off the front page.
