Being a former motorcycle mechanic, I just love the show. Gasoline is in 
my blood, bolts and nuts form the base of my DNA  :)

It's OK the first 3 hours. Then, it's too much. If I want 24/7 War 
coverage, I'll RealPlayer into BBC, thank you. Meanwhile, I suffer the 
all-war programmation. Yes, some shows, make it very interesting, 
getting original and not-so-acknowledged points of view in the air.

Ah, I'm so glad that I have no TV! I've just been with my sister this 
week-end, turned on CNN.... and got in my nerves but no information 
about what is going on. Why the number of hours that the 1st Troop, 7th 
Cav has expended under the sand storm has any importance to know what's 
going on?

What about just Gen. Franks talk, once a day, and then, checking 
government and popular mood around the area? Everything else is just 
confusing, serves nothing for information and it's very missleading for 
the audiende. Wait, maybe this is what they want!

Yours truly,
Someone that enjoys daily peace.


Salut.
Josep

Not that this adds anything to the discussion, except that there are quit=

few of us Garrison Keillor haters... When he tries to sing it makes my sk=

crawl. I feel icky just thinking about it.
