You Can't Make This Stuff Up

We confess that we didn't drop photodocumenting the pernicious pink phenomenon on cable net news. (Check out the sidebar called "It's Not A Rose-Colored World / And Wearing Pink Won't Make It So.") In fact, we're working on another panoramic display of this dismaying trend, which is now beyond pandemic, beyond epidemic, all the way to . . . pinkdemic!
We're convinced it's an infantile reaction to horrendous times. In other words, Sean Hannity and Wolf Blitzer want to suck their thumbs, but they can't do that in public, so they wear pink ties or pink shirts, or both. For adults, there could not be a more inappropriate color either for their age level or the times. It's the fashion equivalent of fiddling while Rome is burning.
And the two women above, who are both psychologists, should really know better.
