News Overdose

So here it is, almost 4am and I have been unable to come up with something to blog about. It isn't as if there aren't plenty of news items to rile me. There's way too many, truth be told. Right to die, right to live, coalition killing insurgent, insurgent killing coalition, civilians killing after deciding that too many have died, children going on killing sprees here, Canada allowing seal hunting, ANWR going forward, government officials making my skin crawl at the sound of the voice or even of their names. The environment is disregarded by those who should know better and in whose hands so much depends. News items that leave me asking "How could they be that stupid?"

With all of this and more going on, sometimes it's hard to pick one topic and run with it here. I'm just so sick of it all, but to discuss it is just too overwhelming. To read the news is to be left wanting to kick or punch or tear something apart. Something inanimate, just so we're clear.

I don't know if it's sleep or a vacation I need. But I guess I had something to blog about after all.
