Okay, this Natalee Holloway thing has passed the point of PATHOLOGICAL.
I'm at the gym tonight and one of the TV's is on CNN. I look up and see the theme of Nancy Grace's show: ARUBA: DAY 92

I swear to Christ, I think I had a mild aneurysm when I saw that. They are painting BLACK FUCKING X's ON HOUSES TO MARK WHERE THE DEAD PEOPLE ARE in New Orleans and Mississippi, and our media is still focused on a girl who has been missing for three months.

Look, Natalee's disappearance is tragic. It's a very sad story. But I NEVER remember a single missing person consuming national headlines for three months.

1. I agree. Covering Natalee at a time like this....
is absolutely obscene.

3. are you sure it was CNN ?
while CNN has been far too obsessed with the story, i think their focus has been on the Hurricane since yesterday.

6. How is your post going to help bring Natalee home?
Please keep on topic. Posts like this only distract national attention from Natalee's case, and aren't helpful to keeping the media's attention where it belongs - in Aruba.

10. Like our corrupted government?
Like Karl Rove, Tom Delay, the firing of whistle blower Bunnatine Greenhouse for shining a light on the dark doings of Haliburton with our treasury's money?

8. If Nancy Grace has to cover crime stories due to the nature of her show
why didn't she focus her entire show today on the hearing on the Abu Ghraib photos, along with interviews of the respective attorneys involved? I haven't seen them interviewed anywhere on TV. Nancy Grace seems to like to discuss legal issues on her show. There's a great set of legal issues into which she could sink her teeth. It would go a long way with me in restoring some small semblance of humanity in that woman in my eyes, but I guess I might be expecting the impossible.

9. Even so, have there been NO OTHER CRIMES in the last three months?
Besides, CNN should be pre-empting this crap anyway.
