Morning Blur - Judging only by the headlines

Welcome to the morning blur. When I get up and can read only the headlines, I decide whether or not I should go back to bed or climb down into my abandoned missile silo.

Kim Jong Il's son gets a promoted: Totally irrelavent.

Rham Emanuel may run for mayor of Chicago: My entire life I kept seeing the same people in and out of politics, running back and forth between corporate boardrooms and government offices. Also, I keep seeing the vast majority of Americans growing poorer instead of richer, yet they keep electing the same people who keep appointing the same people. I say "Don't drag me into this mess!" Unfortunately, all the voting idiots make up the vast majority in this country.

Local teens weigh in on governor's race, political rallies, more: In this article of the Illinois State Journal-Register (9/28/2010) Teens are asked to respond to a story about a woman who was sucked down a manhole in a flooded area and drowned; who the teens would vote for in the upcoming election (if they could vote, which they can't); the relevance of John Stewart and Stephen Colbert and their rallies planned for October 30, 2010 in Washinton D.C.; the trapped coal miners in Chile; and whether or not they would buy a Facebook branded smart phone.

I think what the readers need to know is how these kids plan to contribute to their own society and whether or not their education is moving them in a direction that will either require more public money expenditures or a direction that will yield a greater economic return that reduces the tax burden.

Sports: I don't get a paycheck from anyone in sports.
