Woman with no brain better ratings draw than man with no face

Anyone remember Michael Jackson? Until recently, his trial, complete with pajama bottoms and sleepy eyes, was about all you could see on cable news networks. But damn it, coverage of Terri Schiavo has gone and surpassed the Jackson trial. That is, until the next freak show comes along or a blonde girl goes missing.

Meanwhile, Congress decided to drill in Alaska, social security is in jeopardy, people are dying in Iraq, free speech is going down the drain, PNAC is taking over the world, and Kenneth Lay is enjoying his freedom.

There must be something in the water.
