I just noticed a headline article on my homepage of MSN. It was all about how Obama “rocked” a leather jacket as he attended game 2 of the NBA finals. This is obviously important news otherwise it wouldn’t be a headline.

On a related subject: Are we really sure we’re ready to relinquish our personal responsibilities to a benevolent government so rabidly willing to take on the job? Do we have so little time to handle our own affairs because we are busy being guided by childish news editors into becoming absorbed by what former presidents wear to sporting events and to consider it worthy of important notice and commentary? If that is our decision, it will mean our lives and personal decisions will be ruled by a committee of power hungry strangers, almost all of whom couldn’t give a rat’s ass about what we actually think.
