Yesterday, we in Montana were at the center of the political storm as the race between Jon Tester and Conrad Burns helped decide the controlling party in the Senate. This was but one story of many as our national media dissected election day, the very centerpiece of our democracy.

As I was reading through coverage at the online portal for ABC News, however, I noticed the "Most Sent Headline"--meaning the story being shared with the most other people by readers on the site--was "Recipe: Rachael Ray's Pot Pie."

We Americans do have our priorities.
