Number of children who die of starvation per day around the world: roughly 30,000.
Number of children who died of starvation between when Florida toddler Caylee Anthony was reported missing July 15 and a bag with her possible remains was found December 9: Nearly 4.5 million.
Number of children who died since the disappearane of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway on May 30, 2005: More than thirty-eight million.
Number of times any of those children have been mentioned on nightly news programs, discussed during news analysis shows, profiled by Oprah, been the subject of special investigative reports or had their deaths/disappearances analyzed by Greta Van Susteren: 1.
Really, one, you may ask. You're sure it's one time?
Well, no. But I'm an incurable optimist.

Just had a day of feeling more disgust than usual with the members of my former profession...
