Mr. Morgan and I were watching the news this morning and eating breakfast together as is our custom now. Since I'm not rushing out of the house to go to work, I'm able to make us breakfast. Mr. Morgan usually requests "something eggy," which translates into a fried-egg sandwich usually.
Of course, all the "news" that's apparently worth reporting this morning is about Michael Jackson's death. Last night we stopped watching TV because all our channels were covering his death, and we were sick of hearing about it. While it's sad that he's dead, there are TONS of other things going on in the world that are a bit more important than a washed-up, freaky celebrity's death. I mean, The Office rerun that should have aired at 9 last night was bumped to make room for a Dateline special on Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.
This morning the news reported that Hugo Chavez called Michael Jackson's death "lamentable," but he criticized the media for giving it so much attention. Mr. Morgan said, "For once, I agree with Hugo Chavez."
