The best way to keep something quiet, is to not talk about it.

Actually that only works on a personal level. But if you really want to keep an issue in the background and eventually bury it, then focus the eyes of the world elsewhere.....the next BIG thing. Before you know it, the critical last "thing" is simply gone....

You are correct, the blizzard in Colorado, Kansas and now several other states, was handy.

Nothing about the missile in Calif on the talk shows.
(that I heard).
