Some Nothing Happened

After quickly scanning the news headlines, online after the VP debae, this is what I read:

"Cheney, Edwards Go Toe to Toe in Debate" - ABC News
"Differences Dominate VP Debate" - CNN
"Vice Presidential Debate Spans Wide Array of Issues" - NPR

These are the type of titles that I would give to a boring 5th grade history essay. I'd use the same tome when I wanted to make them sound important, even though I knew the main idea was broad and uninteresting. They essentially say that the big news is that there is no news, that there is nothing specifically interesting that happened, and really we are right where we were before.

The generalities in these headlines mean success for both parties, as both come out without any damage to repair.

Ultimately nothing was said that we haven't heard five minutes ago from these two politicians. But, hey, they sure did look like they meant the nothing of which they were speaking...
