Silence is Golden

Perhaps the sweetest silence we have had in some time comes in the form of that which accompanied the apparent birth of the newest addition to the family of the Alaska governor. The governor's teenage daughter had a son over the weekend. The best of all of the this? The media completely ignored it. This is an absolutely, positively tremendous development We can only hope that this is sign that our nation's pitiful media is growing up.

Hopefully we will hear the Alaska governor's name only two more times in my lifetime: when she announces a run for President in 2012, and when she drops out sometime after she is inevitably trounched, either in the primary or in the general. I would not bet on it, but we can hope, no?
