Did You Happen To Catch Page Three?

In your paper, it would likely be even further buried. Maybe next to the comics.

"What could be buried in my local paper?" you ask.

The news that one of the Madrid Subway bombers had sketches of Grand Central Station.

You'd think this would bump the terr-o-meter into the orange. Think again.

It seems that this would have been the big story on all the news outlets, had it happened back in October. You know, before the election.

But this week it gets buried.

Ask yourself why.

For those who did not adhere to that last request, I will go ahead and give you the answer.

Fear provokes re-election. Fear erodes legacy.

Since it's no longer necessary to scare the American public, save the effort.

What a flip-flop.
