Who?
Anita Esterday is a waitress who pretty much described how the media operates when a mini-controversy erupted the other day over whether Hillary Clinton tipped her on a campaign tour stop.
"You people are really nuts," she told The New York Times. "There's kids dying in the war, the price of oil right now--there's better things in this world to be thinking about than who served Hillary Clinton at Maid-Rite and who got a tip and who didn't."
There are better things to think about, or at least more important things. But in a media world driven by petty blogs, cheap news executives that would rather cover the simple vs. the complex and a society more interested in gossip than substance, we are getting the media we deserve.
Perhaps Howie Kurtz can interview her on CNN's "Reliable Sources" this Sunday instead of the usual pontificating gasbags he has on.

Smart woman!!! She should run for president.
Can you tell I'm bored to tears laid up in bed with this bad foot?! I haven't commented this much on friends' blogs in, well, ever.
