So let's have a look at what's in the news today...
- Fidel Castro is stepping down after 50 years in power. Implications for U.S. policy isn't entirely clear.
- The ruling party in Pakistan has gone down to defeat in a (relatively) clean election. This is a serious blow to the U.S-leaning ruling clique, and is seen as a rebuke to the U.S. Implications for U.S. policy aren't clear.
- A group of military officers has completed a study showing our military is "stretched dangerously thin" and could not undertake another major operation. Almost half agree with the word "broken" to describe the current state of the military.
- Florida has approved educational standards requiring teaching "the scientific theory of evolution."
And what's the lead story at CNN? On a busy day like today, what did they select as what you most need to know to be a well-informed citizen?
None of the above... They're doing an uplifting puff piece on blind veterans who are learning to ski.
Feh.
