Brain Trust

I know that here in Vegas, we do not hold the top mark for America's most stupid, but we've got to be in the top 10. Case in point - a couple days ago, I was forced to hear local news. Downside of NPR, I guess. They think I care about what happens here. But any of you that live in a (relatively) small area knows that local news is pretty much bullshit.

(Aside: The worst part of a local news broadcast is Children To Love, where DHR whores out small children to be adopted. It doesn't bother me as much when it's pets, but children? Seriously? Each appearance has to equal at least two years of therapy.)

However, this nugget came on: Local man and woman caught with a meth lab at their house. This is not news. Apparently not having teeth, or sanity, is in. It gets better. Next, they announce this lab was on federal land. Then, they announce that this lab was on Redstone Arsenal.

I was blown away. If you're cooking death, wouldn't you want the location to be, somewhat, hidden? Preferably not on a U.S. Army installation? Especially not a U.S. Army installation that regularly test-fires missiles?

Like I said, top 10.
