Halloween Hall of Horrors
There are too many confound variables so I can't really say why it is that we have just a barrage of odd stories. But it's not my place to analyze.
First, there's the accused rapist arrested because of his appearance on Blind Date, the television series where couples go on a date for the cameras to see and the producers of the show to mock. Much like "Who's who" in HS, if you don't have any serious TV credentials but are dying to get into the business, such dating shows are nice resume fillers (that no one takes seriously). Well now accused rapists are jumping on the bandwagon. The victim, who first left her cell phone on during the attack to allow 911 ops to record the attack as it was happening, had the foresight to record the show as soon as she recognized him. Smart woman. But I'm more curious about the other woman...the date on the show. What's her reaction to all this? "No wonder he had a chip on his shoulder." Is this part of a larger trend that inevitably came with the explosion of reality TV?
Second, there's the NJ Air National Guard F-16 firing at an elementary school. Until recently I was a bit weary of our progress in Iraq, but after reading such stories I'm comforted in knowing that we have so many well-trained pilots out in the Persian Gulf that only the most inept are left to defend the Homeland.
