Can someone please explain to me why CNN apparently is incapable of operating microphones?
Like many Americans, I’ve been glued to the news networks much more than usual, and I had always thought (or been told, anyway), that CNN was a really together network. But the production competency I’ve seen is comparable to public access.

Though the dust settles, the haze hasn’t really lifted from this city.
Now that my neighborhood is open again to traffic, it feels more normal, but there’s something different about this place now.
Most of my friends and I walk around, and we still all stop every now and then, looking south, I guess in a feeble [...]

Wednesday night Glenda and I went out for a walk, all around the city, and there’s an eerie calm over the city right now. The air smelled of burning plastic, and made your eyes water.

That’s all there was in it. Apparently, they just wanted to inform me that somewhere there exists a HUGE database of action packed scenes, [...]

I just finished reading two books this week. It generally takes me forever to read a book, but I finished both of these very quickly. (Yes, I commonly read more than one book at a time…I am a Gemini, after all, and prone to boredom.)
Anyway, I think it would be difficult to find [...]

OK, the title might be a little harsh, but ever since the Holocaust happened, it’s been pretty much true. (See, I feel I even have to say that in order to cover my ass.)
