How Can They Sleep?

Suffice it to say that because of the recent elction, appointments to the president's cabinet, and state legislation, politics have been on my mind in a bad way. Things seem to be going terribly lately, and I'm not sure if I can take much more.
Then, standing in line at the Java Hut for lunch today, I come to find out that there is a tomato crisis! What is the world coming to? Apparently some pretty evil frost(let's call it a Weapon of Mass Frostage- WMF) has attacked most of the crops and the food industry is having fits.
My question is, why haven't I heard about this already? Why did the president not interrupt Oprah to let me know? Why hasn't the College president sent us a memo to console us and ask us to unite behind the crisis? Why am I getting my tomato news from the cart that sells me coffee and take-away lunches???
I don't know how people will sleep peacefully knowing there is some fruit/vegetable (let's not even go into that identity crisis) world issue involving WMF...
