Slow news day
by Jack GrantSeveral bloggers are commenting (complaining?!?) about the slow pace of news in the past few days.
These remarks ring hollow to me, especially in light of this (thanks to Ann Althouse for the link):
It’s cruel, too cruel. I’ve appreciated irony all my life. But my sons are both musicians. And I am going deaf.
A “slow news day”, yet tragedies still occur both large and small, widely felt or falling upon an individual.
A “slow news day” with nothing worthy of commentary.
While murder still occurs in Darfur.
While death still holds entire populations in tyranny, it is a “slow news day”.
While we examine our navels, the world moves on, judging us by our acts, especially in times of tyranny when we are warm and comfortable in our homes.
A “slow news day”.
Yes…
Nothing to see here, move along…
It is a “slow news day”…

Slow news day? They should go visit Navarre or Milton, Florida. They need not think of having to even leave the US.
