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.]

"a royal huff"
"Our Addiction to Fake Outrage": Could it be self-righteousness or open markets?* Information should be free flowing but...needs a filter not a Drudge. That is the dilemma: who?
Certainly not trickle down; talk about "bucket shops".
Progressive Strategies: Social Darwinism? Forgetting nature and God.
People forget to credit their environment, and take for granted what they got and expect others in different environments to do as well and take the blame for theirs. Shoe is on the other foot, or foot in mouth, shoot it. Grass is greener, blah, blah, blah, dot, dot, dot,** etc.
* the nature of information is that what shocks, gets attention (and awe), and feeds the market, rather than information that puts things together which is more complicated, much like the difference between war and nation building. On top of that to expect government not to have harder work to create laws and execute them(laws not people) and then the difficulty of the fourth branch has certainly not evolved in a straight line.
** another word for fertilizer is making the rounds

Hitting the Nail on the Head
Not on the thumbnail.
And the chart on the wall, not the tale on the donkey.
Update 1-14-09: [The above thumbnail is a suggestion by Dean Baker that other's may improve on, while the chart is a pull of the elephant tale of 52 weaks of Positive Job Growth and who to pin it on. Here is another chart that some think of flipping for their Moody Blues. A shocking revelation to those that want to spin or unspin. This is the all spin zone, as how can one without nailing something down. Seriously, the Blues is the chart that others would like to nail and the spin or unspin are very reflective.
