The Book of the Shadows

I'm going to talk about the media today. I have talked about the media a little in the past, but to be clear I will be speaking about the "mainstream" media.

Tomorrow, CNN will be airing a two hour documentary about nuclear power, and will follow that up with a half hour with Anderson Cooper, discussing some of the questions, issues, topics raised in the documentary. I encourage those who have the opportunity to watch it.

I have a simple view to share regarding the current government shutdown. I’ve resisted making comments on the matter for now because of the fact that, quite frankly, I didn’t expect that it would take so long for things to be put to an end. We have troops in Afghanistan, we’re trying to manage a very volatile Middle East situation right now, the economy has been struggling to return to normalcy… shutting down the government and threatening the debt ceiling is not something reasonable people do at a time like this.
