This was in the paper today, and echoed my thoughts about news media.
memento mori
Pull A String, A Puppet Moves
each man must realize
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand -
and any given cause,
no matter how unrelated:
the death of a boy in Hong Kong
or a blizzard in Omaha ...
can serve as your undoing.
all your chinaware crashing to the
kitchen floor, your girl will enter
and you'll be standing, drunk,
in the center of it and she'll ask:
my god, what's the matter?
and you'll answer: I don't know,
I don't know ...
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand -
and any given cause,
no matter how unrelated:

I don't know ...

Well, how do you stop it from happening again if you don't make it a pertinent issue? I think the tradeoff for media attention is reform. Which is what people want in the first place.
Besides, when DOESN'T the media milk a story to death?

I know the media does this to everything. It's just irritating.
nevermind, i take that back. i'm seriously seeing this story everywhere i go. This is ridiculous.
