really. what year is it?

I got up this morning (much earlier than ever) to try and get some work done, but alas I got distracted by my rss feeds (and now by blogging - man, a girl knows how to procrastinate).

The first thing I notice was that there was a cross burning last weekend 30 minutes from my home. The local paper could barely expend 3 short paragraphs on it. And it's in today's paper... three days later. Meanwhile, Northern Illinois University was closed on Monday because someone wrote "tell those n****** to go home" and "the VA tech shooters messed up with only having one shooter" on a wall. Don't they say it usually gets worse before it gets better? I hope this is one of those times. better. soon. please.
