doctor, it hurts when i hit my head with this hammer
A Yahoo news story today entitled Some Weary Floridians Leaving for Good because they are tired of the hurricanes.
I am truly confused by this story, more specifically as to its point. Is it a human interest story that’s supposed to make us feel bad for them? Is it just reporting on some demographic trends?
It fails horribly in the first regard (hey, let’s build our homes in a natural disaster area and then complain when the uh… natural disasters happen) and it’s pointless in the second regard (news flash from the department of “boring stuff that happens on a local level but is reported at the national level”: Asian Ft. Collins residents between the ages of 25 and 27 enjoy getting drunk on a regular basis, followup interview at 11).

C’mon, the drunken interview would at least be entertaining. ;)
