The Other News
Yes. Everyone knows that bombs are going off in major cities of the world, that P. Bushie gets to try his hand at stacking the Supreme Court, that people are leaking information and reporters are going to jail, and that people still care inordinately about your sexuality. Probably you also know that oil production will begin an "irreversible decline" in five years which, I am assured, will lead to very bad things.
But. Did you know a man set himself on fire in order to propose to his girlfriend? Actual dialogue therefrom: "Honey, you make me hot."
I don't know what to say.

Okay, I have this to say: Thank goodness for blogs. Blog discussion can often be trusted to hit somewhere between the extremes of inane reaction comments to national events and inane descriptions fifteen-minutes-of-fame stunts.
Though. I wonder what it says about marriage, or about the fears of anonymity belonging to the silent majority, that proposing becomes this kind of platform for public performance. What combination of national attitudes are herein internalized and encapsulated?
