I read the wire daily as news food , to keep up with those news items you never know you might need until you are taking some dumb test to work at a newspaper somewhere. Editors are the only people who would force you to know the leaders and population of every territory from the former USSR and make you sing the Canadian national anthem backwards. Just ask George W. Bush. Sometimes, though, the stories are just plain ridiculous. But, there are people doing ignorant things out in the world.
Somebody has to tell their story even if it s dumb.
Unfortunately for society, these stories have real-world consequences. For every insane Austrian prime minister and presidential campaign story, there is a dispatch about a newsworthy moron like wrestler Ric Flair. The owner of nine Gold s Gyms in the Tarheel State, Flair feels the statehouse needs someone who can stand up and say Whoo. Flair, as you may recall, has been a professional wrestler all his life. Ah yes, childhood memories.
