Monkey Business

I had a better punchline but a call intersected my thought process, regarding the media cacophony regarding a recent tragedy.

Get Over It! Was the cry that I lost and we may be better for it, but local reaction as well, is overblown. That line may return to me or be better lost, but the carton* and the shock are part of freedom of the press, and the surprise should be moderated by this intersection:
The New York Post and The Washington Times- No Shock!
The Washington Post and The New York Times- No Awe!
Not to mention the bottom line of shock and awe.
Duh-Oh! Thanks Homer** or is it But-Head?

[* I can't recall this choice of word, but was somehow multi-tasking. Carton is a word for package, but I still feel a blank. Carton is also a place where the missing are hoped to be linked with their loved ones. I was already into the packaging of the next lines, so it may have been fortunate to have skipped a clue. I knew I would return but not for this difficulty.

** The comedy is sometimes a tragedy as in Greek and that is probably the root of many problems if not the media.]

[Duoh! Cartoon. Now...That's the ticket. Hmmmm?

[I separate the tragedy of the dangerous monkey and the disgusting cartoon.]
