God if I see one more beauty pageant video of Jon Benet Ramsey or that freak that has confessed to her murder I swear I'll move to Canada.

Please explain.  What do we need Usama to do?  And are you speaking of bin Laden?

I am also quite sick of getting hourly updates on what the suspect is eating or wearing.

I think what he is saying is we need a good Al-Quada story to put on the news so they have something besides the JonBenet media circus to talk about.

Well to be honest I was having a bit of a meltdown. You know this damn news just never quits.  Times are tough for alot of people and I'm really sick of some guy with enough spare time and money to be paying for sex with small children and a sex change over in Thailand getting so much attention.

I'm sad to say that America by and large is a self absorbed, gratutitous society and for a minute there  I began to understand why some people hate this country so much.

Then I switched over to Lifetime and did some Yoga with Denise Austin and I feel better.  OK I can go to work now.

I'm a little sick of the Jon Benet stuff as well.  I might be interested in the results after it is over.  However, the missing now found austrian girl has been interesting to read.  I'm sure I would get sick of it after a week of 15 minute updates though.

Never ask a man where he is from. If he is from Texas he will tell you. If he isn't there's no need to embarass him.

Blame Ted Turner for starting CNN, 24 hour news needs something to fill in for all the time.

I used to feel the same way sometimes.  Then I got rid of my cable and tore out my antenna.  I haven't watched a lick television in over a year.

It was one of the smartest things I've ever done.

(Obvious) 24 hour news networks would have something to fill the time with if they reported more than three stories at once.(/Obvious)

 As it stands, in a given hour we get fifteen minutes of JonBenet (killin' childrens is bad, but MAN that girl is creepy looking!) killer weirdo guy, fifteen minutes of Teh Middle East Omg, fifteen minutes of commercials, and fifteen minutes of the Celebrity of the Moment. If the news channels actually.. uh.. GAVE THE NEWS, i.e., reported MANY things happening in MANY places around the world, it wouldn't be s'goddamned repetetive.

But most people don't watch the news for news. They pop on CNN with the assurance that some moron will say exactly what they were saying an hour ago about the exact thing they were talking about, so they can get up to date on the latest in News Topics One, Two, and Three and have something to blabber and assume mindlessly about to the morons they live/work with.
