Storm Warnings and Salacious Distractions

The Northeast is going to get four-to-eight inches of snow this afternoon.  This wasn’t the lead story on the national morning shows, but only because there was an update on the budget debate in Washington, DC.  We live in a world where six inches of snow becomes a stop the presses! moment.  If it weren’t a snowstorm it would be the latest scandalous celebrity affair, or some other salacious distraction.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.” – Polish Proverb
