I watch the news because I have a lot of time on my hands. I was thinking that News would be much more interesting if we weren't always at war. I watch the News Hour (because I think I'm better than you) and all the stories that don't have to do with our overseas fuck-ups are cool. I was fascinated by the piece they did a few weeks ago about the compromised protection of the Bald Eagle. I also enjoyed last weeks piece on elderly airline pilots. However, all I hear about is political reconciliation military strategy in Baghdad. I care, but not to the point where I want to exclude all other things. Thank god for the coming(?) election.
