What's the deal with the skating thing?!!
This Russian mob boss fixed Olympic skating events . . . and this is huge headline news! Why? I'm sure it's a big deal for the .4% of the world population that's even watched an ice dancing event, but for the rest of us, don't you figure there's more important stuff going on - famine, generations old tribal warfare, disease epedemic, etc.?
It didn't surprise me to see it as a top story on CNN.com, but then I got in my truck and was listening to public radio and heard the story. I really thought public radio was above all that, but no.
Because I'm a head case and frequently thinking in spiritual modes, I'm caused to wonder what major "news stories" are going on within the church while we waste our time on the petty items that we drum up into something spectacular. Never mind, I'm depressed enough as it is.
That's all.
