Cool

I think I need to go watch more panicked 'we are not getting these citizens who have been in Lebanon for two years now, gotten married, and are upset the evacuation of the sudden warzone is taking an extra 48 hours, yet have internet access and the ability to kvetch about maybe paying a fare for the trip, or not being allowed to bring along the Hezbollah neighbor' quickly enough coverage..

Maybe Nic Roberston can run around with another hezbollah flak talking about how dangerous it might be to stand outside hezbollah world headquarters in Beirut at this time.. While standing outside Beirut World Headquarters at the time & telling me about the masses of civilians targeted when there is not so much a cat in the street other than Nic himself?

I'm being honest when I say if you can glean even a shred of knowledge from the brain dead drivel I've seen at CNN you ought to be chairing something a yale!
