Re: Yep...Current Events is just a buzzin' with activity since Tom backed off.
Maybe its just because not much is really going on.
Most of the 'news' is political, and connected with GOP activity in Iowa. This is designed to get our attention and generate controversy for the benefit of the press and to settle Republican Party conflicts and scores.
It will be pretty much the same until the election, unless something happens between now and then that actually affects our lives.
No news is good news, I say.
