As Flies To Wanton Boys

The Kobe blood-in-the-water media frenzy is like O.J. and Clinton pureed in a blender and smeared across every possible outlet like a heaving spoonful of Nutella. Is it a slow news cycle or what? Perhaps the media has finally squeezed the life out of a 16-word statement in a presidential speech, a few soldiers dying in Iraq is now too out-of-sight out-of-mind, or maybe it's just that the real world lacks that je ne sais quoi.

Something tells me that before all of this is over the jokes about a slow moving bronco and cigars will pale in comparison to the carnalcopia of innuendo coming out of this trial. If you think the coverage was over-the-top for seven-minute hearing, then just wait for the actual trial.

Wait a minute, is that Gary Coleman and Gallagher in a town hall debate discussing the merits of an effective energy policy in California? Time for the media to jump off one breaking story in need of in-depth analysis for another. Stay tuned...
