Cable News is a gateway drug

Yesterday on the treadmill, I noticed on one of the TVs a big splashy headline: "Silent Epidemic!" I had my ipod blaring so I didn't have the audio, and now I'll never know which epidemic they're talking about. Childhood obesity? Corporate greed? Crappy customer service? Toe hair?

You know, if I were an epidemic, I would barrel into town in full body paint, sceraming obscenities, toe hair flying free. What's the point of an epidemic you can't hear?
