Composited from today's newswires:

Million Dollar Baby knocked 'em dead at the 77th Annual Academy Awards.

A suicide bomber killed 125 people and wounded 130 by detonating a car near police recruits in a crowded market south of Baghdad on Monday, the single bloodiest attack in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

The hard-hitting drama reeled in

I guess all I can say is that sometimes I really wish it did raise the hairs on the back of my neck. Sometimes I wish it caused me more passion, one way or the other.

One day maybe I'll wake up and realize that I missed the chance to be really pissed off at something like this.

How many senseless deaths does it take for outrage to awaken from its apparent slumber?

10,000?

500,000?

6,000,000?

I don't know.

That's fair.

It was unfair of me to ask such a question of you, who does not represent anyone but himself, as proxy for the rest of humanity. I guess I thought it'd help reveal the monstrous moneky tit of outrage I've been sucking on for quite some time. Ugh, with that image in mind, I can now see how one might not especially enjoy such an escapade. Guess that makes me a monstrous monkey tit-fancier. Okay, ceasing mammary-fixation. Think of the children (the children!).

You shoulda seen my first response. Golly, was I worked up (instead of curiously off the deep end).

[oh, and read-only mode due to database fuckup? sucks a monstrous monkey tit.]
