News, and Not News

News: More Abu Ghraib pictures made public. Not new ones, not recent... just different than the ones already seen. This story is everywhere, despite the fact that it's a non-story.

Not News: Iraqi Election results get final certification. According to a friend of mine in Iraq, the press conference was attended by exactly zero members of western press.

There's a rant in here somewhere about "news" not being news, but infotainment... but I just don't care anymore.
