Media coverage being stupid??

I know that we are supposed to be blogging only on our Junior Theme topics, but something on the news caught my eye the other day that I really wanted to write about. On CNN Headline News, a national news channel that people anywhere in the world can watch, there was a story about Vice President Dick Cheney, and a picture that was taken of him on a recent fishing trip. In the picture, Cheney has his glasses on and is looking off into the distance, smiling. The reporter claimed that the reflection in his glasses, was that of a naked woman. Now tell me, do you actually think that was worth nation attention?? I am in no way a Bush or Cheney fan, and I am not trying to defend them, but come on! are they joking? It obviously could not have been a naked woman, or the reporter probebley might have seen her. And secondly is that what is important on national news? That the vice president had a reflection in his glasses of a fishing pole that slightly resembled the outline of a woman? Of all the things going on on the world, that is actually worth national news? I think its incredibly pathetic.

Government and Conservation

For my Junior theme, I have finally come up with 2 related books and a "why" question. My theme is based around the idea of Wildlife conservation and what laws the bush administration has changed in the past 8 years in office, and why they have chosen to do so. The book I chose, "Hawks Rest" focuses on the first wildlife preserves, and laws made by Theodore Roosevelt, and how current national park are affected by these laws. My only problem is pulling all my information together to write this paper. I have no idea who I am going to interview, and there is so much information in this topic, its going to be difficult to read everything and come up with a strong thesis.
