The phrase “breaking news” should only be used in extreme circumstances. To the people of Phoenix, I am sorry, but your rainstorm is not breaking news. Phoenix would only be breaking news if it were over run by the Mexican military. The morning-after pill would only be breaking news if President Bush was in his office making a statement, instead of on vacation. And, finally, this whole Jon Benet Ramsey thing will never be breaking news. She’s been dead for 10 years.
Have a great Friday. The terror level is still elevated (that means “yellow”) so be careful today, like we are everyday now, living in a trembling society.
