1. CNN sounds near hysterical
I just listened to Rev. Al, and they had to say that the announcement was coming up. I yawned and went back to watching Trading Spaces.

National Mood Ring is on ORANGE, you should be cowering under your bed!

6. Faux the Worst
FauxNews is positively having an orgasim. Don't know why- all you had to do is read that Kerry had had a small bounce from the Dem Convention and is drawing big crowds in Ohio to know that there would be a terror alert to get Bush back in the headlines. Faux will be newsbreaking this for 72 hours.
