Life Sucks And Some Shit’s Pointless

Don’t believe me? Ask the Denver Post editorial board. Or, if you don’t believe them, try the Rocky’s. Still confused on the issue? Never the swiftest player on the field, David Harsanyi chimes in.
Is there anything quite as cringe-inducing as watching over-paid, under-read newspaper hacks attempt to wax philosophical in times of crisis? Here’s a thought: when inexplicable shit happens, whyn’t you refrain from visiting us with a second inexplicable horror by attempting to explicate on said event?
Y’know, instead of bludgeoning your readership with the kind of half-baked platitudes that’d make Maya Angelou drive a railroad spike through her temple.

“After the 1999 Columbine High School slayings, an exhaustive dissection was done on the lives of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. It continues to this day. The minutiae of their lives has been revealed, but their true motives, whatever possessed them to become killers that day, remains shrouded in the haze of their instability.”
Yeah, because there exist video tapes in which they discuss their specific motivations, and the police department admits to having them, but refuses to release them for fear of a copy cat incident (a fat lot of good that did, apparently). GAH! You’re going to make me angry, I always try to forget what ridiculous, hollow garbage our local print media is, but it always comes screaming back.

Never forget, Mr. Tyndale. Never.
