We Col., it?s a matter of bad breath is better than no breath at all. For any kind of US news, it?s either CNN or CNBC. Of the two, CNBC is out of the question so that leaves CNN. And sometimes they are funnier than the great one, Benny Hill, though they are comics quite by accident I think.

Great example: A news segment billed as ?World reaction to Bush?s inauguration speech?. First shown was a Canadian politico speaking from Toronto, and as could be expected,nothing nice said there at all. Then a politico from Belarus, and sure, nasty words were spoken, you bet. Former KGB thugs don't like to be called former KGB thugs, no sir.

Then lastly a group of noisy demonstrators in the UK were chanting things that one would expect to hear from a lynch mob working themselves up to the final act. But oops, the video editor wasn?t quick enough with the stop button and the last quarter second or so showed the group banner. Twas a huge red banner with the olde hammer and sickle and of course, one wouldn?t expect very nice gestures from that mob either.
Zo, that was the world reaction according to CNN.

I promise that upon my return I shall cleans my self thoroughly of any taint, beg forgiveness, and accept some form of penance.
