NO BIG WHOOP?

Just listened to the 8:40 headlines on NPR. Here were the stories mentioned: Suharto's death; Gaza; heavy rains in Southern California. That's it. What the hell? Nothing about the huge Obama win? What's the thinking there -- "Black guy wins black primary, big freakin' deal"?

(Yeah, I know -- I haven't really said anything myself, and I mentioned the results only briefly in my last post. But I'm not a 24-hour newsgathering operation -- I was busy last night and I'm only now starting to absorb what's going on right now. I'll have a lot more to say soon. Draw your own conclusions about what's up at NPR.)
