I had never seen one before either.

I am in Colorado. I haven't heard any breaking news from CA on the news...maybe just a miscue on ATT-Direct-TV's part?

Wasn't that before "W" won reelection? Do you remember when I advocated Russ Feingold, as president against Bush?

to see what was up and they returned to MSNBC but it was garbled for a few seconds. I thought it was an alert for our upcoming snowstorm.
