Truly Remarkable

The latest aggregation of news judgement, courtesy of Google News, at 9:21 a.m. on Saturday, March 26:

"Schiavo's Parents Say She Tried to Speak" (all 5,710 related>>)
"Four U.S. Soldiers Killed by Mine in Afghanistan" (all 73 related>>)

What a tragedy for the Schiavos (Terri, Michael, and all family members) and the nation that this has unfolded this way. And what an indictment of our political system -- actually, of our democracy, made up of our broken political structures as well as a free press meant to hold it accountable and keep us informed of important events.

Meanwhile, a few people were arrested yesterday for plotting to kill Michael Shiavo and the Florida judge who has ruled on his wife's case. "It's about defending life," indeed.
