The thing thats really an affront to my common sense is that the media has spent so much time talking about this. for God's sake, all the other MORE important things happening in the world and issues in the United States and this becomes major news day after day? It should be in the entertainment section not on the front page. Maybe however it acts as relief and respite from the more pressing issues of the day .... sort of a time out break :-)
