its been what... 36 dead in Iraq since Sunday? (rant)
or something like that. but the number is pretty big considering they were supposed to be throwing roses at us. the media is just glossing over it, not really reporting it, just kinda mention in passing whats happening as they move on to their BS entertainment stories, i dont care about celebrity gossip, dammit. wtf is wrong with our fucking media around here? i cant even stand to watch the news while i eat breakfast in the morning anymore, its bs what the networks think is 'newsworthy' these days

sorry, this probably belongs in the media forum, but its more of a rant than any form of intelligent media criticism or anything like that, so i figured it goes in the lounge.

sorry to bitch... but i had to. the whole thing going on around fallujah has me kinda on edge because my uncle is stationed in the area.

2. i hear ya, and best luck to your uncle
i can't stand the regular news anymore. I watch C-Span, The Daily Show or Democracy Now! and that's about it. If I hear one more story about Jacko or the basketball player or that Friends is almost over I'll scream

Hang in there and my prayers to you and your uncle and the dead babies and everybody else in this crazy world
