I STARTED SWEARING out loud the other night when I saw a local newscast promo about a robbery in town. "How will this impact you?" the anchor bellowed. Well, yelled. Well, said in a dramatic voice. A couple of dirtballs knocked off the local porn shop on the edge of town, and since it's the second "armed" robbery in a couple of weeks, that means it's an epidemic.
I'm not downplaying the robbery, it's a bad thing and I hope they find the pieces of crap that did it. But I'm not watching the hard-hitting journalism on display when something like this happens and they blow it out of proportion.
Weather and crime. It rocks and rolls everywhere you go. Look! Here comes more snow! Let's use all caps and exclamation points! NOW.
Let's not but say we did, and it will all make us feel better.
