If the news media comes around- make sure your deceased equines are buried.
Michael Jackson's death WAS the big news when it was first reported Friday evening.
Two days afterwards- it's STILL the lead story on most national and many local newscasts- as if a very popular head-of-state had died.
Last night there were several "breaking news" stories here in the Metro: two near-fatal drownings and an evacuation of an elderly high-rise facility with at least 3 injuries.
Only 1 station- KSHB 41Action News made mention of one of the drownings.
Yet all 4 stations led with the Michael Jackson death story- 2 days after the fact with no new details on Jackson's demise.
Michael Jackson's death WAS a major news story- but was it a story of such magnitude that it pre-empts other REAL- local news? And for how LONG does this pre-emption go on?
Give your horses a proper burial- lest the news media beat on it's corpse....

AMEN! I thought I was the only one in the world who was totally OVER IT ALREADY. Frankly, I was more affected by the passing of Farrah Fawcett. I could go on & on about this, but I'm sure you have bigger fish to fry. :)
Heh...
Thanx for the affirmation Liana.
BTW- the fish are half-baked....
Codially Yours-
