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.

The Age of Ignorance

Just how stupid are we these days? It's bad enough some idiots think the point is not to do something worthwhile and possibly become well-known as a side effect. They think the point of life is to be on TV regardless of what they do or how dumb they look while they're doing it. The worst thing is that people actually keep reading about it and watching the "news." Those two gate crashers at the White House were just the most well-dressed of the recent folks who haven't a clue what fame is all about. I thought the sari was a nice touch, didn't you? As for that American Idol loser who has no sense of decorum and could use make-up tips from Alice Cooper, the sooner his 15 minutes of fame are over the better. He's proof you can have talent and still ruin it by acting like a fool.
