This Just In! Breaking News!

 

We like to think we're the cutting edge, the tip of the spear in this journalism thing, so we can take everything in stride and not lose our focus like The Talking Heads of the Mass Hysteria do, when something comes out of nowhere.  But Brittany Spears and her husband of one year Sam Asghari, just separated and they are headed for divorce!  Wow!  We didn't see that one coming.

And Phillip Swagel the Director of the CBO that's Congressional Budget Office which makes him the government's economics guru said all the inflation we're experiencing is the result of "massive government spending".  Wow!  Who'd a' thunk that one!

And this one is a real shocker.  The authorities in New Mexico did another test on the gun that Alec Baldwin used to shoot the Cinematographer and the Director on the set of the movie 'Rust'.  Alex has said again and again that he never pulled the trigger.  That he never would have and could not have pulled the trigger.  The gun just went off.  The gun did it.  And when all the charges were dropped, it seemed the Prosecutors agreed with him.  Why would he lie?  But in this new test, the gun, seems to disagree.  The gun said, I will not fire until you pull my trigger.  Will Alec be arrested?  Indicted?  Will he get perp walked?  Will he have to pay for his sins?  Who could have seen this one coming?

Like we said at the beginning, we think of ourselves as the cutting edge, the tip of the spear of this journalism thing.  We don't want to be like the Talking Heads of the Mass Hysteria or The Cognoscenti Of The Known World, reacting like hyperactive teenagers who don't take their Ritalin, every time something happens.  No, we want to be sensible, perceptive and have a sense of decorum.  But then there are these things that you just can't foresee.  They just happen, like earthquakes or Tsunamis.  No one could see them coming.  So we just try to grin and bear it, suck it up and bring you all the news.  And, more importantly the insights you'll need, to get through the day.
