Code Red: Operation Wristwatch Recovery

Once again, the very finest journalists in the world are displaying their uncanny ability to report on insignificant happenings. The latest such display comes from a recent trip George Bush took to Albania. Seems he might be coming home one wristwatch lighter.

Bush's Watch Disappears In Crowd (CNN.com)

I'm curious how many secret service agents have been assigned to the missing watch. Maybe there is a military deployment in progress to launch "Operation Wristwatch Recovery" (AKA: Rolex Roundup). Seriously, does the president's watch contain top level security information? It's a watch. It tells time. Yet, this inanimate object is garnering more reporter attention than SUV's, which I'm sure will incite some kind of metal-on-crystal rumble in the 'news' reports to come.

UGH!
