Raking Muck in the Third Millenium

I used to have a sign over my desk in a newspaper office long ago, in Gothic script it read Rake Some Muck Today. In today's world, raking muck is something of a lost art. I may not be able to singlehandedly bring it back, but this is a start.

Deny-Ability

There is no shortage of groups of people I don't understand: people who think they are the only ones with God's ear. people who keep ferrets as pets, people who eat sushi. But, the people who really confound me are people who deny the Holocaust. I mean, there are PICTURES. This didn't happen during an era when the only way to disseminate information was Alan-a-Dale and his mandolin, or lute, or whatever it was. How can people deny all the evidence? And how can they explain all the people with missing relatives? Don't they know people with no grandparents or aunts and uncles? Talk about living in denial. And, what is even more scarey is that people in Iran actually voted for somebody who thinks that way. Note to Iranians voters: he's wrong and if he's wrong about something that big, think about what else he's wrong about.
