| #8 Really, sex does better in sweeps than death. I think that's a thumbrule that shouldn't be ignored. |

| #6 From: Head of ABC News To: Staff All, ABC legal has asked me to inform you that the "A" in ABC does NOT stand for "Anarchy" or "Anal", but instead, after some research it has been determined to stand for "America". It has also been determined that the natives of this place called "America" tend to not think much of journalists who look down their nose at the very country who brought the freedom of the press into being. There is currently some territorial dispute with the denizens of "America", they seem to think that Manhattan is a part of their country too! While many of us who live on one of the three liberated islands ( Manhattan, Long Island and Marthas Vineyeard) strongly disagree, we are in no position to argure owing to our stance on personal firearms and the inability of the enlightend Canadian forces to assist us in maintaining our sovereignty. From here on out, please refrain from any more overt or covert attacks on the character of "America" or "Americans" as our ratings have begun to hit rock bottom and our shows are regularly falling behind "Sabado Gigante" and the cable based public access channels. While we all admire the system that is in place at PBS, it is important to remember that they dont have the pay schedules we have. Remember folks, its one thing to admire Marxism from afar, its a whole other thing to actually be one. A.G. "Buzz" Mclintock. Head of ABC News. ( P.S. - Go Kerry) |

| #5 Most folk knows the ABCs motive, and it ain't to show respect for the ones that sacrificed. The purpose is to chip away at our will. |
