"Its a scenario everyone fears
a bomb...on a bus..."

Its official CNN has gone completely over the edge. A Paula Zonk segment where they blow up a bus. Believe it or not, I don't really fear a bus bomb, unless of course the polls don't improve for Mr. Bush.

But to see a recognized news outlet promote this fear-mongering and utterly useless "reporting", is very, very disappointing. I'm curious, who amongst have had their lives affected by the potential of a bus bomb? How is this relevant? Why doesn't the person who hires CNN newsreaders just die?

or it will blow up is what I fear.

"I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

Homer Simpson

7. They got Rover out there with his "Chemistry for Dummies" book
The TV people scare people from going out, then said people stay inside and watch more TV.

9. Personally, I don't fear any scenario.
And if no one feared this shit, then they would stop doing it, wouldn't they?

11. A scenario everyone fears?
Considering how few people middle-class and wealthier actually ride the bus in this country, I doubt many of them are losing any sleep worrying about a bomb on a bus.
