Beyond looniness

How many people are hearing about the real number of US casualties in Iraq? About the real number of Iraqis killed? About real prospects for ending the occupation? About Bush's effect on the environment? About what his favorite judges really believe? About a plethora of power moves that are silently eroding the heart of the nation?

In the meantime, there are 400 reporters covering the Michael Jackson trial and 2,200 (nope, not a typo) media people with credentials to cover that sad media circus.

Maybe we are already beyond redemption.
