PANDERING TO PANDAS

I'm DONE with pandering to cute twin panda cubs whose double cuddle cuteness it twice as nice for the viewer to consume.

I'm done with writing about Mike Tyson's latest failure ... cocaine in his pocket? like I didn't see that one coming.

I'm done with writing about Anna Nicole's death as though it were a game show... Is the Daddy behind door number 3??? Was her son murdered before her very eyes?? Find out after this nifty announcement from our sponsors!

And I'm ESPECIALLY done with writing about a rain storm as if it's the end of the world. These people in New England don't know what bad weather is! When you're about to be slammed by your third hurricane and there's still a gaping hole in your roof THEN it's OK to say that it may be a state of emergency. NOT when it's a drizzle of a Nor'easter.

I especially don't like the hype around this "storm" coverage, coming from a state where we deal with REAL storms. Where we don't activate the "emergency management bunker" unless it's a category 2 or higher! This is really ridiculous...

I've been through... Andrew, Jeanne, Charlie, Katrina, Rita and Wilma ... just to name a few.
Hurricane Andrew hit on my 6th birthday in 1992, and devastated the entire city. I was traumatized for years after that storm... so I don't appreciate the hype of a rain shower like this one.

The end.
