The upside to sweeps month

The silver lining to all this Michael Jackson nonsense (none of which I’ve actually seen, mind you, though it seems like everywhere I turn I hear about it):

What seems to be lost in the concern for Mr. Jackson’s children and underage friends or disgust over television’s excesses is that the more we see of Mr. Jackson right now, the healthier we are as a nation: at least it indicates we are not at war.

    I know you’re kidding to a certain extent(at least I HOPE you are), but the patterns of when “stars” are in the forefront of the “news” as distractions are just a little too obvious nowadays. It doesn’t mean we’re not at war, only that we are not being told what is happening before it becomes to big to deny any longer.
