4. The point is that the world is burning...
...and CNN can't bother itself with serious journalism. Investigative journalism? Don't even ask.

10. Five minutes was too much...
...and they were still doing an 'in depth' interview when I turned it off.

- Meanwhile...the 'leader' of our country is insane...American soldiers are being killed...and Iraqi civilians slaughtered in a 'war' declared by the aforementioned insane person.

5. The important thing is she's a mother.
And, self-indulgently, having twins that could have only been conceived by modern medical science. It's a miracle of god.

8. Where is Elvis?

Did the birth occur in the Bermuda Triangle? Was Scott Peterson the father? It'm so relieved that CNN is concentrating on real news instead of troubling our beautiful minds with all that tiresome war stuff.

9. Is it right or wrong?
That was the teaser question asked by Wolfie yesterday after announcing she'd had the twins. I looked and hubby in disbelief...Who the f*** are they to ask whether this woman giving birth is "right" or "wrong"?!?! Geez!

Can't win when you choose to and can't win when you don't!

11. Meanwhile, Bush & Co are holding democray's head under water
waiting for the bubbles to stop.

But that's not NEWS! There's no video.

12. You mean you've missed the Laci Peterson story, it was THE most
important story of our times, or at least you would believe that with all the coverage it was given by the idiotic media.

13. Hear, hear -- CNN has become the most brain-dead infotainment...
... interestingly, I tuned in MSNBC this morning. Yes, there was coverage of the requisite Laci Peterson trial non-story, but there was a lot more substance than one would get from Soledad, Bubblehead Bill Hummer, a pre-happy-hour Jack Cafferty, Rush's moll Daryn and Rick "Public Enemy" Sanchez...

14. Strange, convoluted world we live in...
Edited on Wed Nov-10-04 10:52 AM by Q
...this must be CNN's answer to Bush's* 'culture of life'. Ironically...they wouldn't give anywhere near this much time to air anti-war views.

17. A 56 year old woman shouldn't have children
Its not fair to the kids, as she will be too old to raise them. No offense to people in their 50's, I'm 47 and certainly do not want any more kids. I'm too old as well. By the time the kids turn 18, the woman may well be dead. And its always good to do things with youngsters, such as ball games, fishing, running and jumping, etc. How is a 56 year old going to do any of those things? At least for long. No, she should not have given birth to those children, or she should at least put them up for adoption.
