I'm not sure why. <BR/><BR/>Maybe it's because I had to go from sobbing students to Nissan commercials and ads for home loans. Maybe it's because CNN's usual morning anchors were so obviously in over their heads (as they are when anything other than unscripted banter and cooing over animal videos are the order of the day). Maybe it's because I knew that it was only a matter of time before all the stories about this started being "branded" with a graphic and a somber, tinkling piano. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, probably all of that.Flophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494943743188235344noreply@blogger.com
