#1 Like I said yesterday - now that the 5-star Hotel has 24-hr catering restored the U.N. is ready to 'tke over' the credit for other people's work.....

#2 I was forced to listen to the Perky Katie show this morning. Haven't done that for a long time, and I was amazed at how much it was like watching a soap opera (ie: you can watch once every six months and they still haven't moved the show forward from where you left off.) Headline topics: Abu Gharib, Michael Moore, and I'm sure if I watched abit longer, they would have covered Scott Peterson, the election and Jon Bennet Ramsey.

The reason I bring this up here, was they actually do have a new topic, the tsunami - but they covered it by saying (something like) now that the UN has taken over, do you think Bush has "redeemed himself"? ...ah yes, redeemed....

and they wonder why no one watches them anymore
