This really bugs me

Ok, so Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling are guilty.  That doesn’t bug me.

 

This bugs me…

 

In the middle of the story online I see this:

 

• Live Vote: Do you agree with verdict?

Whether or not I agree with the verdict is irrelevant.  That’s for me to discuss quietly with friends over coffee or loudly with strangers over a few empty pitchers of beer.  The facts are the news.  Opinions are like assholes—they’re usually loud at inopportune times.

 

Why is my opinion news?  Give me the facts without regard for my feelings toward the facts.  Why, oh why, don’t you people get it?
