This is a new series that my wife likes. It's the usual story. Rich Silicon Valley titan's daughter is murdered and he creates a new technology to find her murderer. Not my cup of tea, but I could tolerate it... until tonight. Tonight's episode was about a stereotypical "white supremacist." They made it a point say that "white nationalism" (whatever that is) is white supremecism. I wanted to throw the TV out the window. We won't be watching that one anymore.

Am I the only one sick of the tsunami coverage? Maybe it's the obvious fact the media has no other big story it wants to cover. Maybe the idiotic anti-Bush angle they have developed. But I think it's just the plain old fact the disaster coverage has reached the point where it is out of proportion to the disaster itself.Of course the tsunami was a terrible event and there needs to be a major relief effort. But I started getting annoyed when they called it the worst natural disaster in history. I knew I'd lived during 200 or 300,000 deaths...
