2. The less you know about Foreign Policy, the better...Until...
we ask you to kill and/or be killed.

But don't worry, those other guys are evil and need to be killed.

Honest.

5. I am glad the Deer is OK.
This storm in Oklahoma has been major. You don't really understand the impact until you see it first hand.

Kind of like the war in Iraq.

I agree there are more important things to report on, but as an animal lover I'm glad the Deer is OK.

8. Oh I am too, was glad to see the deer running off.
But they don't have to show it every 30 minutes.

12. Would you prefer the "Lindsy Lohan in Rehab recaps?
Or Oops! Britney's pregnant again? :puke:

Yes, distract, delude and dumb down with mindless - mostly local news stories while IRAQ is blowing up in front of our eyes. Especially The Sunni Triangle where our troops will be *augmented* (escalated) into that hell hole. :grr:

15. Are they still showing that video of cars sliding on the road?
They've been showing it for about 4 days now. The same video, over and over and over.

16. Not a top story, but the pilot was acting in good faith.
There better be no charges brought against him, and PETA better not get any ideas.

18. Deer was rescued by a TV helicopter
operated out of OK City. Sister station in Tulsa is showing film footage of electric lines being repaired by workers sitting on a platform suspended in mid-air by a helicopter. Those big metal transmission lines are covered in ice and impossible to climb so repairs are being done via helicopter. Impressive.

19. Now why the heck didn't they show that on the news?
I would have liked to see that, I guess the newsbots always go with an animal story over humans doing something cool. :(
