NPR and other media have convinced me that nothing is going on in this world
outside of that looney astronaughty woman and the SF mayor.

Chimpolini and Cheney's crimes go largely unreported.

All these guys in the media can talk about/report on is who's zooming who.

1. Perhaps it's a lull before the storm. so hard to keep positive
I am an optimist by nature but have felt uneasy for a few weeks.

You wouldn't want the mediawhores to actually do some journalism, would you?

2. They LOVE crime - the citizen kind, not the leader kind.

The other kinds you refer to are air-wave, cable, satellite crime and scandal pushers. You can easily observe the aroused state of the jesters. Oh yeah, they also create crime and scandal.

Whatever happened to the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. Did they cause it to close down? Is Aruba still there?

Meantime, the report on the Libby trial on NPR was tepid and short.

3. The SF Mayor is a Dem
So naturally that's HUGE news. But all will be well, he's going to rehab.

8. Your right, and what's killing me is the lack of talk in the media
about why Libby/Cheney felt the need to out a CIA agent. Thats the crime, not just little Scooters lies. Who's on this weeks cover of Newsweek? Paris and Britney.
