Panem Et Circenses

Everything in the news today has been about the inauguration tomorrow. A CNN iReport showed the mass of people line dancing to Soulja Boy, whether or not MLK JR's dream is now a reality, and how the emcee for the parade has been doing it for the past 800 years. 

It is always good to preserve the transition festivities of the next president. But what happened to the stories on the economy? The bailout? The gaza strip situation? 

I am a journalist, this will be similar to my career for the rest of my life, but I dislike how the media determines the agenda. It is almost a hassle to search for information on anything other than the churches and schools the Obamas and their kids will be going to. 

I just can't wait for the inauguration, but no longer just to say farewell to the Bush.
