Keeping Perspective
Monday, March 22nd, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Yesterday was a tough call in Minnesota’s newsrooms. The Pioneer Press gave 2/3 of a page to the amazing news that I’ll still be cheering for Joe Mauer when I’m 44. The Strib instead gave 2/3 of their front page to the news that the United States is no longer a barbaric, backward land where health care is granted only to those who can either (a) work for a soulless corporate empire until they forget what it was like to be healthy, or (b) swear under oath that they’ve never, ever been sick before in their entire life.
USA! USA! Win Twins! Win Twins!
P.S. On big news days like today, you really are missing out if you don’t walk down to the Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue where you can view all of our nation’s large and medium sized daily periodicals’ front pages and mingle with / eavesdrop on your fellow countrymen.
