The local news station is fully embracing the notion that "the world has *always* been falling apart" and that it's "messy" out there (as the President said this week).
How do I know this? Because the lead story on the local news wasn't about ISIS (or ISIL, as I guess all the cool kids are saying nowadays) ... or the fact that it's probably time to make note of the proximity of nuclear fallout shelters again (thanks Putin) ... or that ebola or the bubonic plague might be lurking down that dark alley you just passed (although, let's face it ... the world is over-populated and in need of a pruning) ...
Instead ... the most newsworthy item from the weekend was the union of Union with Wade. I googled this "Wade" and he apparently is a fertile (well, fertile while on a "break") player of the basketball variety down in Miami. And the wedding was in an actual castle with a moat ... so ... you know ... that's cool and all. And probably almost definitely the most important thing I need to know this weekend.
