It's Been a Rough Morning.

First, I find out that LeRoi Moore, sax player for the Dave Matthews Band died. He was fortyfuckingsix.
Then, I find out that PBS is dropping its syndication Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
What? Apparently, they're only going to provide one episode a week via syndication to local PBS stations. Thereafter, it will be up to the local affiliates to make the show available to viewers. This arrangement, apparently makes this a big pain in the ass for the local stations. And we all know what that means. Anything that requires more than 10 minutes of effort in this country stops.

I've probably posted this before, but here's a link to Fred Rogers' appearance before the senate to ask for more funding for PBS back in the 60's.

And now they want to drop him. Way to suck PBS.
