lord i hate the media anniversary. there has been no surcease from selma for months, and the fact that you go from cnn to the nytimes to msnbc to the guardian to npr to the washington post to the daily beast and they all have the same story and they are all using very nearly the same sentences and they are all interviewing john lewis for the umpteenth time: i'm sorry, and i realize it's a solemn and important thing, but y'all are boring me to tears. a previous example was the 50 of the kennedy assassination: i came out thinking that we'd have to kill the man again, even if it took a wooden stake.
