"...And 'Bat Shit Crazy' Isn't Even Close To Funny, Either...."

The loss of life and injury of others in Colorado is, to any reasonable human being, horrific.

And the insanity that manifested itself in that killing and injury, frankly, requires no other explanation than it is what it is.

Insanity.

That said, I think it important to offer what I shared on the air this morning as we talked about this incident.

At this moment, CNN and other media outlets are "headlining" the story in, give or take a varation, pretty much the same fashion.

"BATMAN MOVIE MASSACRE".

While intending to neither defend or denigrate the film, the simple truth is that this crime against us is a massacre.

It is NOT, however, a BATMAN MOVIE massacre.

It could have just as easily, sadly, happened in a grocery store or sports arena or church or even a parking lot in Arizona where a talented member of Congress was greeting her constituents.

Insanity doesn't distinguish between time, place and/or opportunity.

That's why we call it insanity.

Adding "drama" to a story of this intensity is not only journalistically invalid and irresponsible, it is an emotional, even spiritual, obscenity inflicted on the loved ones of the victims.

"News" outlets who keep dealing the "Dark Knight" card are an embarrassment to the concept of legitimate journalism and should, by any reasonable interpretation, be deeply ashamed of themselves.

Bet the farm thety won't be.

And that, along with the carnage, is insanity.
