I’m confused.
I read articles from digg.com and reddit.com on a regular basis. I find interesting tech articles, sometimes they have relevant news stories, most always they have one or two oddball way-out-in-center-field goofy links. Yesterday night, the top three links on reddit.com involved a C-Span reference. What? Each of those three links involved Rep. Dennis Kucinich introducing 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush. What? I know that this motion is purely symbolic; leaders from both parties are opposed to any sort of action against the President. Still, the introduction of articles of impeachement against the President of the United States is sort of a big deal. I clicked one of the links and watched as Rep. Kuchinich stood at the podium and read off his list. Was this really happening? I checked cnn.com for verification: surely something like this would cause them to put up one of their “Live Breaking News” banners on their main page. “Americans fear gas shortages”. Yeah? Maybe it was on the list of articles next to the feature… “Two toddlers shot in baby pool” “iReporters end splurges to pay for food” “Consumer Reports: are my tomatos safe?” “Barack Obama: Black or Biracial?”. No mention of Rep. Kucinich’s ramblings in the House of Representatives.
What the fuck?
I checked FOX News, but I didn’t hold my breath. FOX’s headlines were even more shallow than CNN’s. MSNBC? BBC? ABC? NBC? Nope. What’s going on here?
Maybe “Kucinich” is too hard to spell.
Denny “The Kid From Cleveland” Kucinich’s politicking was so inane that even the MSM realized it wasn’t newsworthy.

I know it’s going nowhere, but even a cursory mention would have been nice; I think it’s more significant than “Two lesbians kissing causes fuss at baseball game”… another ‘headline’ I saw around that time…
