Non-News News

Non-News News = news items that are either self-evident to everyone already or didn't make as big a splash as the news outlets seemed to think they would. Last month it was Clay Aiken announcing he's gay. (gasp, shock, yawn).

This week's item: OJ Did It: armed robbery and kidnapping. By the [total lack of] buzz around here I guess y'all found it a :yawn: too.

Re Non-News News

A possibly landscape-changing election is a month away.

"Next up, who's gay?"

(To quote a song from Dr. Horrible)

Re Non-News News

Who's Clay Aiken and why should I care if he's gay?

Please don't bother to answer either question even if you care.

The story that children's cereals are loaded with sugar had me ready to post a "No Shit Sherlock" thread too.
