I simply should not watch the news. But every time I happen to flip channels past a local news program already in progress, I just can not help but stop and watch. This past week I saw a story about a serial pet killer on the loose in my county , a story about a baby left in an alley in our state capitol, and a story about how Ohio is going to be the next Florida.

Oy! Somebody please take my remote control and hide it!
