Enough is Too Much

Well, whaddyaknow. It wasn’t his DNA after all. Who could have known that? So his story didn’t make any sense. So there was no proof he was in Boulder, and there was pretty good proof he was elsewhere. They still had to fly him in from Bangkok, just to be on the safe side, right? Piffle.

I’ve never understood why the murder of this kid has been such a big deal. Yeah, murder’s a bad thing. And it happens every day. This was ten years ago, and there have been books and countless magazine covers about the case. Why is that? I know, the media just love stories about pretty young white things in distress. They ought to rename Nancy Grace’s show “Auntie Nan’s Cavalcade of Missing Caucasian Lovelies.” But it’s been a little over a year now, and I’m pretty sure they’ve stopped talking about that high school kid from Alabama who went missing in Aruba. Was she not young enough to merit JonBenet-level attention?

Well, at least the John Mark Karr (gotta use all three names) story is over, right? Nope. Now they’re examining how such an error could have been made. MSNBC will have a primetime special on the case tomorrow night. And maybe we can get back to blaming the parents for the whole thing. A week ago everyone was going on and on about how the parents suffered through being called child killers, and how now we know they were innocent…. Well, now we’re back to not knowing they’re innocent, so we’re free to say they’re guilty again. Oh joy.

Enough already. Please. Find something else to piss me off with.
