Today's Storycorps on Morning Edition was pretty depressing.

It's tagged as "He either wanted to be a marine biologist or he wanted to be ten." This is also the first line, the second line is "He didn't make it"

Every step that this story takes is just more and more tragic that it's almost to the point of absurdity. It didn't help that it followed an article about the millions of nameless dead in Darfur.

Yesterday I saw the best segue by a reporter ever. CNN or Fox News or something was on, and they were talking about the fires in Florida, and how the flames were reaching 20' high, and hundreds of families were being evacuated.

Then they cut back to the girl at the desk and she says, "He always made you laugh, didn't he?" Followed by two seconds of awkward silence.

It was the lead-in to their video rememberence of Harvey Korman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0466327/), but the fact that there was no set up for it, and as it came immediately after the HUGE FIRES, my first thought was, "Who, God? Heh, yeah, that fucker's always good for a laugh."
