I pulled a wad of newspaper out of the recycle bin, to sop up water on the bathroom floor from the toilet overflowing. It turned out to be the "Bush wins second term!" edition of our local daily.
Seemed appropriate.
Tonight my husband and I stopped by the local independent bookseller. I noticed they had stacks of USA Today, The New York Times, the Bellingham Herald (local rag), and the Seattle PI (nearest domestic big city rag). I observed:
"Each one of those papers has a lead story about the inauguration. We know it was marked by protest, objection and rancor. But you'd never know it from just looking at the stuff above the fold."
My husband thought that was the perfect way to talk about liberal disenfranchisement in the media today. We're below the fold.
