Arrruba!!

At first I thought the only reason the whole "Aruba" thing was getting so much coverage was because it involved a photogenic blonde chick. Lately, though, it occurs to me that this may be a reporter driven story. They get to report on a story that takes little or no fact gathering effort (the facts hardly change from day to day) and they get to lie around in a tropical paradise drinking boat drinks on the company dime. The problem I see with this over coverage (I dare you to find a news station that doesn't report on it semi-hourly) is that the media might cause a situation similar to what William Randolph Hurst caused when he over embellished the whole "Maine" thing. Anybody ready to charge up Palm Beach Hill?
