Wreck Of The Day
Sic transit gloria mundi. (All glory is fleeting.)
-Ancient Roman Proverb
In checking out the U.S. morning news this evening, I found this utterly unsurprising story to be at the top of the headlines. Hmm, so it appears that Lindsay Lohan has been arrested yet again for cocaine and drunk driving.
Wow. Ya' really got to give it to those U.S. network news guys for sniffing out the issues that are most important to the global community. Bravo, kind sirs. Bravo.
In contrast, their foreign counterparts have much to learn from their American brethren. Indeed, check out these obviously less important items that are in the major headlines in the international news this evening (morning in U.S.):
- Taliban spokesman thinks S. Korean hostage crisis 'will be solved peacefully'
- Suicide car bomber kills at least 22 in Hilla; roadside bomb kills 1; 24 bodies found
- Spain nabs suspected double agent who sold names, secrets to Russia
- Earthquake damage at nuclear plant raises questions in Japan
- Bush to defend focus on Iraq in S.C. speech Tuesday
Uhh … yah. And you wonder why I'm returning next week back to where they don't have any electricity (or U.S. network news)? Just wake me up for the next O.J. trial.
