- blogger Jim Geraghty today (as of 8:00 pm Central) on America’s deadliest day yet in MBT
Not so much as a “we mourn the fallen” from Glenn Reynolds, either, though he does have some “good news” from MBT, so he’s apparently still aware the place exists. Ditto Andrew Sullivan, Jeff Jarvis, and Roger L. Simon (these were the only ones I checked, but I think they’ll suffice to establish a pattern). Guess Fred Reed is right:
No one in the mysteriously named “elite” gives a damn about some kid from a town in Tennessee that has one gas station and a beer hall with a stuffed buck’s head. Such a kid is a redneck at best, pretty much from another planet, and certainly not someone you would let your daughter date. … Thank God for throwaway people.
UPDATE 10:30 pm CT: Jeff Jarvis has since added a note on this disastrous day:
We pay more attention when more people die. That’s ridiculous, even offensive. Others died yesterday and the day before. Some died in accidents, some at the hand of insurgents/terrorists/murderers. None of them should have died, of course. Some try to blame the president for these deaths; too few blame the murderers with blood on their hands.
And more stay-the-course yada yada yada. But at least he mentioned it.
