Let's start with the best Sunday New York Times news of all: Thomas Friedman has the week off. There's also news about how there's no news about the missing plane and a reminder that your March Madness bracket is a mess with Syracuse losing to Dayton.
CNN, NYT, et al. <i>please</i>, I&#039;m begging you. Pull back on the coverage just a tad. The last group of people this fanatic about a plane flew it into the WTC.
1) That pic at the top can be easily made to be about a young Maureen Dowd if the title changed to &quot;Miss Know Nothing&quot;; 2) I need to just accept the fact my NCAA brackets are FUBAR and get on with my life; 3) I hope everyone saw the <a href="http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/mojo\/2014\/03\/westboro-baptist-church-fred-phelps-lorde-protest" target="_blank">awesome thing my home town did for the Westboro protestors</a> at the Lorde concert the other night; 4) Not really concerned so much if Goodwill is a vintage store/dessert topping/floor wax, but I&#039;m pretty the etiquette dilema it provoked is possibly the dumbest moral conundrum I&#039;ve ever encountered.
&quot;There&rsquo;s also news about how there&rsquo;s no news about the missing plane...&quot;
Instead of idle/wild speculation, would it kill a cable news network to just say &quot;Tonight we have no more news on the topic a great many people are interested in. When we have it, you&#039;ll get it.&quot;
And <a href="http:\/\/books.google.com\/books\?id=ZTIoAAAAYAAJ&amp\;q=overgrown wealth#v=snippet&amp\;q=" target="_blank">Thomas Jefferson </a> also, too.

<i>despite dire warnings from Westboro that tolerance of homosexuality is provoking God&rsquo;s wrath,</i>
I&#039;ve come to view Jesus much the way I view Elvis. I like the guy but the fan clubs are an non-stop freak show.

I heard some guy say he&#039;s got Amber and Tammi in his Sweet 16. Who&#039;s got Chris Hansen&#039;s number?
When the tape went up in smoke, Phelps inhaled it. The brain damage was unexpectrdly severe.
Even amidst the craziest of speculations about the whereabouts of the plane, idle/wild strikes me as a particularly loony possibility.
