The good, the bad, and the ____

There has been no shortage of news lately. First, Greenville was proud as punch that one of its home grown boys won the US Open. Then we were disappointed that our frugal governor left us hanging for a few days when he left for a pricey trip to see his South American sweetheart. Nationally we have had the three recent deaths in the entertainment world. Our "Luv Gov" can be thankful some of the attention is being diverted from him for the time being as the state leaders mull over his political fate. At least we humans have seen what happens under the spotlight of fame, and we know about death, irresponsibility, and temptation, which are much easier to grasp in a newsworthy sense than missle launchings, the intricacies of other cultures, head-spinning trillions of misdirected dollars, the human impact on weather, or the latest battle on foreign soil.
