This just in …
If you’re one of the three or four regular (or irregular) readers of Mister-Faded-Glory, then no doubt by now you’ve noticed some changes. Wish I could say I understood them all, but, for now, I’m learning a little bit more as I go about blogging/web design/etc./etc. So bear with me, in time (hopefully before 2020) I’ll have a crisp, clean, blog … hopefully to supplement the mounds and mounds of garbage I spew from the keyboard.
With that, I’ll sign off — it’s been a busy week and March promises to be even busier. Keep it real. Yuck. Did I say that?
Oh, by the way, they caught BTK in Wichita. If you caught the press conference, (which I’m sure you didn’t), then you also saw Wichita, FBI, and Kansas officials pat themselves on the back for doing their job, and finally apprehending a suspect in the notorious BTK serial killer case. Kudos, I suppose, but a giant self-congratulatory session feels out of place, after so many families have suffered. A tough job, yes, a daunting task, yes, danger abound, yes. But I think it trivializes the whole process to glorify the investigators working the case — because, of course, it was, ahem, their job. Better to simply state the arrest, and leave it at that. Maybe the families of victims have some sort of closure now, but, personally, I don’t think that would ever ease my mind, or erase my pain. And, in addition, seeing public officials glad-hand each other, well, that might churn my stomach a little as well. But that’s me.
Regardless, Kansas sleeps safer tonight … Now, if only they could remove that pesky “evolution” stuff from all universities, schools, libraries, etc…
(if you’ve noticed a running joke, congrats.)
