With Regret

Whitney Houston's death, while a sad thing, was the direct result of very unwise life choices. It dominates the news.

Charlie Sheen is 45 and his story is all over the news because he is a substance abuser, an adulterer, sexually promiscuous and obnoxious.

Lindsay Lohan is 24 and her story is all over the news because she is a celebrity drug addict and thief.

Something as frivolous as Kim Kardashian’s stupid wedding [and short-lived marriage] was shoved down our throats, While........

So true, Eddie, and a sad comment on the priorities of our media. I am always touched by the respectful listing of the latest heros who've given their all that is aired at the end of the McNeil-Lehrer Report on PBS.

Bless our troops!
P.S. Everyone of these service members were mentioned on the weeknight PBS NewsHour; every single program Monday through Friday includes the names of newly fallen heroes. Also, ABC News' Sunday morning program also mentions all the names of service members who died each week.
