I heard the Violin card that lists all his troll names is quite valuable as well.

Someone will watch
Fade in to a beat-up trailer occupying the most cluttered corner of a 1/8 acre lot in a small trailer park outside of Opelika, Alabama. In back of the trailer is a rusty metal storage building, in front of the trailer is a rusted-out 1984 Ford Mustang convertible, up on blocks, with various mispelled curse words spray-painted on the sides, hood, and what is left of the top. A pack of seemingly-feral children is running around the trailer, hurling screamed curses, rocks, and feces at one another. A sullen-looking teenage girl sits in a plastic chair on the front porch, reading Seventeen magazine, eating from a bag of pork rinds, and occasionally sipping from a beer hidden in a paper bag.

A smoking, beat-up pickup truck pulls up in front of the trailer, and an extremely lean man with a stained white tshirt, blue jeans, and extremely dirty hands get out and goes into the trailer. As he passes the teenage girl, she sneers at him, and he just says "Don't start with me today, girl."

Inside the trailer, he goes to the kitchen, opens the refrigerator door, looks in it for a while, then slams it, screaming "Who took my last damn beer?" He turns to look at a woman, sitting on the couch in front of the TV. She is in her mid-30's, and about 100 pounds overweight. She looks as if she might have been middling attractive at one time, but life has ground her down. She is staring at the TV, oblivious that her husband has eve come into the trailer.

"I said, who took my last damn beer?" shouts her husband again. She finally notices him, cutting her eyes quickly from the Oprah show to him and back to the TV again.

"Hell I don't know, it wasn't me, I hate beer," she says. "Maybe you drank it last night?"

"No, dammit, I know I left one for today. #&%!$, I guess I have to go back to the #&%!$ing store and get some more. I'll be back. Maybe." He leaves the trailer, slamming the screen door behind him. It falls off the frame and onto the rickety porch. He doesn't stop to fix it, but gets into the truck, starts it, and with a grind of gravel, peels out of the trailer park and back onto the highway. In the distance, the yelp of a dog being run over is heard.

The woman sits on the couch, and watches the Oprah show. After Oprah magically solves her guest's problems, they go to commercial. One of them is for a show later in the evening, about a woman who ran away from her wedding after feeling the pressure of making too many plans. The woman watches the commercial, then gets a dreamy look in her eyes as she considers the past.

"Dammit," she says, "I'm watching that. Hell, maybe she'll actually get away."

A year ago this week, a 24-year-old African-American woman named Tamika Huston of Spartanburg, S.C., was reported missing by her family. Most who know all about Holloway, probably haven't heard of Huston, although her family has tried everything it could to get national media attention.

According to FBI statistics, African-Americans and other minorities make up a larger portion of missing victims than the media represents. However, cases like Huston's often get little attention.

Huston's aunt, Rebkah Howard, who is a public relations professional, tried to develop national concern by having her family distribute fliers, hold a press conference, and create a Web site to get mass media attention, but the story was primarily ignored.

As the search continues for Holloway, who is white, an article in USA Today June 16 asks why the media doesn't show more concern about missing blacks, Hispanics and other minorities. While no one is suggesting that the media ignore Holloway's story, critics point to a trend.

Howard tells The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm she doesn't believe executive producers and newsroom staff consciously exclude persons of color, but notes it is important for the media to take a critical look at which cases they cover.

"What I believe is happening," Howard says, "is that networks have found a formula that has worked for them. And they tend to be about young, white attractive, middle- to upper-class women. And they continue to follow those stories. As one is resolved, they'll move on to the next one. I was met with a lot of resistance when I tried to get national attention for this case. It has been unfortunate."

Just recall the stories of Jennifer Wilbanks, the missing bride, Laci Peterson and Lori Hacking, the missing pregnant wives, and Elizabeth Smart, the young woman from Salt Lake City. They were all white, young, attractive, middle-class, American women.

According to FBI statistics and USA Today, men are more likely than women to be reported missing,and blacks make up a disproportionately large segment of the victims. However, you wouldn't know that from watching television, listening to the radio or reading national newspapers.

Leno did a funny bit on Jennifer Wilbanks. He made it look like he was interviewing her and used clips from an interview she did with someone else for her responses. And of course he brought up the eye issue!!

I think he asked her if she was from the south and she answered, "I still kiss my father on the lips". Maybe that's where a psychiatrist can pick up from to help her.
