First, a couple things I tend to believe about current culture:

  • The rhetoric about international trafficking in humans in one of the few truly laudable things this administration has done.
  • The flap over "Boobgate" is pretty much just tedious election year political grandstanding.
  • There is tons of offensive crap on TV, including reality shows such as "The Bachelor" (which demeans marriage).
  • I tend to think that decriminalizing prostitution is wise policy. 
  • Pedophilia is one of the worst crimes imaginable, and should be addressed by a justice system that assumes pedophiles cannot be rehablitated.

That said, why is CNN running a long feature on child prostitution in Eastern Europe at FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON????

In the category of of Sunday morning snorts & chortles, I just stumbled on this Christopher Hitchens WSJ article from last Wednesday.  The topic is Howard Dean, and the title is (short drum roll):

Narcissist And Windbag

I kid you not.

Just added a link to the Columbia Journalism's Review's "The Campaign Desk".  A good daily overview of the performance of your media.  Check it out.
