I'm Back!

After a short hiatus, I'm back with my political rantings. My other blog is devoted to family, this one is just about my political and social rants.

To get things started, this is from an Associated Press story about the loss of contact with the Mars rover:

In New York City, Jim Garvin, NASA's lead scientist for Mars exploration, said on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" that scientists have "gotten a heartbeat" from the rover.

He said the team was "communicating with it at very low rates to tell it how to wake itself back up."

When did late night talkshow hosts become news people? When did our country get so confused that we can't separate entertainment from information? I know, there are plenty of times that the two become mixed, like some of those tabloid "news" programs that fill early prime time on local stations. But this is insane. Does anyone think David Letterman should be filling Cronkite's shoes? Should we get rid of Nightline so we can watch Conan?
