When my son saw it, he didn't get it. Now that he has seen all of this coverage of the happeneings at Virginia Tech, he gets it. I had to stop watching when CNN started changing their info every 2.5 seconds. I felt so bad for anyone who really needed that info and couldn't get a straight answer. It made my stomach hurt. Also from watching the local news coverage of the storm yesterday, ny son now understands why they make fun of it on Family Guy so much. Unbelievable.

I just had to turn off the television that I wasn't watching because a special Dateline came on and there's already a title for this tragedy. You could tell Ann whats-her-face hated saying "Massacre at Virginia Tech." Is it just me or is this title a little simpler, a little less dependent on the colon and sub-title? Also, Avg Jane hit the nail head on. We could have read her comment and skipped the mind-numbing hours of news coverage. NoShow, I'm glad your friends are all safe and accounted for. We had an alumnus at work and someone with a family member who is currently enrolled (safe and accounted for, as well). In better news, Soxy is the hero of the world. She rocks hardcore.

Becca, now I look like some kind of know-it-all. And not necessarily the good kind, like Mr. Know-It-All. I wish I were Mr. Know-It-All. Then I could have a Way-Back Machine. I always thought he could've put that thing to better use. Soxy, wow!

Also, I just heard a, uh, commentator on MSNBC say, "I'm going to stretch this, because I don't know this to be the truth but...." I really should have turned the TV off two hours ago.
