Do I have to care?

So, lately the headlines have been...well...dull. I don't know if it's just me, or what, but I don't give a flying rat's ass who Tiger Woods slept with, or what position he did it in. I just don't care. I don't care if his old lady clubbed him in the head. I don't care if he did fifteen porn stars at the same time as shooting five under par at Augusta.

I also don't care that the global warming nuts tweak and massage their data to make me think the world is going to end. This really shouldn't be news to anyone. I seriously doubt you could find any big study that didn't have some data massaging in it. Science isn't perfect, friends. It's subject to interpretation and zealots are always going to interpret it to appear the way they want it to. Or, more precisely, big corporations who fund zealots are always going to insist that the data is interpreted in a way that will result in the greatest profit for them. Get over it. That's what makes the world go round. (well, technically, it's not. But the rotation of the earth is probably somehow influenced by the ozone gases, and our pollution of the world by emitting carbon monoxide is probably slowing it down or something. Someone should probably do a study). I promise you that the zealots on the other side do the same shit. They just haven't gotten caught yet. Probably because they aren't stupid enough (or organized enough) to form a large organization devoted to promoting their agenda and then keep all the incriminating evidence on a single server.

I just want some news that I give a shit about. Frankly, I don't know what that would be at this point, but I'm willing to experiment and find out. If you've got something interesting to tell me (or the world), bring it on.
