Typically my mornings start at the Sheraton Club lounge to grab a cup of coffee. I arrive in time for the Today Show’s coverage of the idiocy of the day, whether it’s a woman who had too many children (but doesn’t live in a shoe), Michael Phelps’ bong (how many crummy bands have adopted names based on that story in the past few weeks?) or a missing white girl. But today the news was far more serious, far more important:

Why did a chimpanzee go on a rampage and attack a woman? This is the kind of news I can really use to start my day, and perhaps a sign that the media has finally turned its attention to what is important.

They are now running an unrelated story on the benefits the stimulus bill will provide. They are missing a chance for a great headline along the lines of "How will Barack Obama stimuluate you today?"
