Here's a snippet:

This latest bloodbath at Virginia Tech could've been a watershed moment for 24/7 cable news coverage. Talking heads could've used their air time to educate the random crazies out there about how fleeting their infamy will be and how cowardly their acts will be viewed in perpetuity.

It takes no courage to mow down unarmed kids. And it's just plain stupid to think you'll be hailed as the most vicious killer in American history... when, in reality, that "fame" will last no longer than a blink of history's eye.

I had to calm down this week before I could blog about this tragedy.
