and happened to turn on CNN (I haven't had a TV service in years at home) and it was all "countdown to war" kind of shit. It was EXACTLY the same thing as the Gulf War. They were salivating at the prospect . . . all for the sake of ratings. I swear the more I watched TV this last week, the more I appreciate no TV at home. I SO don't miss it.
