O.K., Looks like the RW is pulling out all the stops (Media Distractions)!
I'm monitoring CNN/Headline "news" for reports on the Conyers hearing/DSMemo, so I don't have the sound on, but I just looked over and saw what looked like a Helicopter shot of a Train Wreck (the thing was just a bunch of twisted metal.

Then, They cut to Amateur video of a U.F.O., what looked like a "Flying Saucer" over the same neighborhood. :wtf:

WTF?!? Did anyone else catch that? Are they going to bring out the U.F.O. witnesses to distract from the Conyers Hearing?

1. Is this the "Bomb Laden Jet Crashes into Neighborhood" shot?

YUMA, Arizona (AP) -- A Marine jet carrying four 500-pound bombs crashed into the backyard of a home during a training exercise, but the pilot ejected safely and only one person on the ground was slightly injured, authorities said.

5. It might be, it was from a different angle though...
...Maybe they are going to tell us a U.F.O. shot it down?

7. Oh I know!, I was one of those who always had it on in the background
if I was doing something else (8-12 hours a day), but when they "Changed everything" as they called it in the summer of 2001, It became un-watchable.

Then, when that "Headline Prime" :mad: first came on, I almost popped a blood vessel in my head, I started a Rant on here that night, I couldn't believe it could get much worst, but it did!

You want to know what REALLY Sucks is, I'm a Video/Film editor, I live in Atlanta, and I really need a Job, but I just can't bring myself to apply there. Not only does the Pay suck, but I'm sure I would probably try to strangle my boss or someone else there, if I did work there. Fortunately, I don't own any guns.

3. You are assuming that they will treat the Conyers hearing as anything
news worthy. They don't have to distract from it, they can just ignore it.
