I have the same "problem" with my church now. They never mention anything about current events. Even when Ronald Reagan died, nothing was said...and it did irritate me just a bit.
Compare it to my former church, where the pastor had been arrested for protesting outside of abortion clinics. And he's proud of it! *grin*
Our church is very much up on the cultural issues of the day. On Father's Day the pastor lead into his sermon with a clip of Michael Reagan talking about his dad's gift of faith to him.
