The problem goes something like this: A big story breaks. It's everywhere from TMZ.com to the New York Times, and within days it is as stale as a 24-hour old New Orleans French bread. We news junkies get bored easily, and unless some crackerjack Lois Lane type can come up with something new and really, really hot, we're on to the next big thing.
Now that I have my own ranting arena, I'm going to turn you on to the follow-up details on some of the irresistable stories of the day. For example, did you know that Cindy McCain was not always the fashion forward gal you have seen this year? That Joe the Plumber now has an agent and has an eye on a country and western music career? That The Donald is still trying to bail Ed McMahon out his mortgage mess?

Nebraska's Safe Haven Law, a law designed to protect newborns who might otherwise be abandoned,is probably up for some retooling.
