Another sign of the apocalypse

Quick side note, this is post three hundred. Sweet.

A sad moment passed through in my life earlier this week as I walked into the break room at work. There was a copy of People magazine on one of the tables and on the cover was the guy from the Twilight movie. The dude with the freaky standing up hair and cracked out looking eyes. Yeah, him. So, big old picture of him and a headline about his love life and this that and the other thing. Not a big deal usually, but in the upper right hand corner of the cover is a little blip that said 'Walter Cronkite 1916-2009'.

I know that this is People magazine, but come on...does some teen movie star (who will probably never be heard from again after these twilight movies are done) warrant a cover story over Walter Cronkite's passing? The answer is no. There is no argument.

Surely if there were more reputable magazines around, there would be cover stories about Cronkite but alas...
