Another week, another "controversy"

It's probably safe to say that the local hate fest against Pittsburgh sponsored by 700 WLW, Local 12, and other people around Cincinnati is probably over, especially since the football coverage is over and the Pro Bowl has been played.

Now Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shoots a good friend while hunting. Sure, Mr. Harry Whittington wasn't severely hurt, had a minor heart attack, and recovered within a week, but you'd swear it was another -gate scandal, by watching the late night shows and network news.

"Why did he wait to tell the major media? Why did he wait to tell the White House? How BIG was the beer Cheney had? Oh, no! Dick Cheney invited me to go hunting this weekend!" And it's not just David Letterman, Jon Stewart, David Gregory, CBS, CNN, NBC, etc that are in a frenzy.

Bill Cunningham, who I usually find informative, informed, and entertaining, has me puzzled. First with the sour-grapes attitude against a legit team and Super Bowl win, now he's joined the 'Question Cheney' camp.

You may know that while I don't discuss politics too much on the blog, I do find myself to have some biased, differing views - though I am generally against 'group think.' I just had to speak out saying there's more important things in America and around the world. Things like coasters, ERT, park takeovers, Regis jokes, and drunk sports fans...
