Things that aggravate my GERD
Coverage of the shootings in Tuscon has been mostly creepy. I am really skeeved out by all of the political pundits writing things like, "Wow, John Boehner/Scott Walker/etc. is doing a great job of NOT using this for political gain!" as if these displays if infinitesimal shreds of humanity are something worthy of praise.
I found ABC News's coverage appalling this evening. After noting that people KNEW there was "something odd" about the shooter, ABC basically encouraged its viewers to report any neighbors/etc. who might have mismanaged mental problems to federal mental health case workers (I forget the exact title). "They can commit people against their will, even if they don't want to go!"
THANKS, I WILL SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT, DIANE SAWYER.
IN OTHER NEWS, I think I might have broken my pinkie toe? I think it says a lot about how much I want to see doctors right now in that I'm just hoping it....fixes itself. They probably don't do much for toes anyway.
