Recently, I discovered that the solution to two big news stories lay in two other news stories. At least, that’s the Principle of Economy in Truthiness at work.

Federal investigators probing the deadly 2001 anthrax attacks recovered samples of human hair from a mailbox in Princeton, N.J., but the strands did not match the lead suspect in the case, according to sources briefed on the probe.
Hmm, the DNA doesn’t match. A tale of paranoid fantasies, claims that don’t bear out and a mysterious figure.

In a new series, which I just decided to start today called “Idiocracy Watch,” I plan to chronicle stories that expose the fact that the U.S. of A. is still a nation of stupid people who blend anti-intellectualism with racism to create ignorance and intolerance.

There is no good news, so they’ll limit the amount of bad news to be reported. Good Lord when is this nightmare going to end?????
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The number of embedded journalists reporting alongside U.S. troops in Iraq has dropped to its lowest level of the war even as the conflict heats up on the streets of Baghdad and in the U.S. political campaign.
