3. I know what you mean.
sort of like watching a car wreck, waiting, waiting, waiting for the boogeyman to jump out of the closet. I hate it too.

4. Funny you say that. I feel the same way lately
They just played the normal theme music for the top of the hour news and I realized that I just expect it to be bad news now.

6. I know how you feel
because it's fire season here and the crawl at the bottom of the screen and the alerts have been happening nonstop due to a big fire northeast of here.

Every time I hear that alert, I think Stupid has lobbed a bomb or two and WWIII has started, because that is what will happen if he does.

9. everybody........breathe. just breathe........... although things are bad,
they have been bad before. focus on doing something - anything - that will make a difference. write your congress critter. volunteer for a democratic primary in your district. donate to moveon - but you'll soon find that putting your awareness on what you want to accomplish will be more effective than jumping at shadows. peace.
