Did anyone see CNN Late Edition on Sunday?
They did a segment on the cost of war and showed the parts of military funerals. Arlington. Folding of flags. Gun salutes. Close ups of family memebrs receiving the flags.

Brought tears to my eyes. Maybe the media is waking up.

1. Do You Think It Was Because John King Was The Host?

He sat in for Wolf today.

I always thought John King was more of a reporter (reported both sides, was more impartial) than most.

2. Did they mention the absence of *?
That, to me, is an integral part of the story. He sends our men and women to an illegal war to die, come home in "transport tubes," and doesn't bother attending any funerals.

I know some families of these soldiers are angry. Wonder if they all are?

Sounds like a good piece on CNN, for once! :)

3. Hell, * will drive past one
on his way to a fundraiser.

Generally, I like John King.

4. I'll have to check him out
John King, I mean. I avoid * like the plague.

I stay away from the TV as much as possible! :)

C-SPAN and Queer Eye are about all I watch these days, since college football season is winding down. Thanks for the touch-up.
