The Arizona shooting is sad and unfortunate on so many
levels. For this reason, I consciously decided that I would
not write about it. The insanity of some people is just too much to bear. So is the neglectful reporting of the news media. Aside from the sadness of it all, my conscious decision to write about everything but the shooting in Arizona stems from the reality that, in essence, innocent people are shot and murdered every day.
Inner cities are filled with unsolved, unreported murders that continuously go unnoticed by the general public. People are murdered in cold blood all of the time without so much as a well wish from local or national media reporters. I did not want to appear insensitive by comparing the media coverage of the Arizona shooting to a lack of media coverage for other tragedies in America. I also did not want to draw too much attention to the fact that the shooting in Arizona has diverted our attention from other news that deserves more of our attention and concern.* I truly care about the tragic shooting in Arizona and those affected by it; yet, it would be very difficult for me to write solely about the Arizona shooting without recognizing the obvious. So with that being said, I will not go into detail about the actual incident in Arizona. However, since Sarah Palin decided to release the video "America's Enduring Strength", I decided that I might as well voice my opinion. With respect to the victims of the Arizona shooting, I must expose Palin for her insincere attempt at sincerity.

After watching this video, which is supposed to address the devestating shooting in Arizona, I decided that Sarah Palin must be America's favorite idiot. That is the only thing that could explain our tolerance of her ignorance for this long.
