Since I watch no TV at all, even the Fox News report was difficult to sit through. The report was padded with extraneous detail not germane to WHY we dropped this piece of ordnance, nor to WHAT the result was. When this bomb was first developed when it was first tested, when the public first began to be aware of its existence — these trivia add nothing to the news that we dropped on today in Afghanistan.
“News” reports that insist on tracing the history of every event back to the frickin’ Garden of Eden and throwing in every bit of trivia down to Eve’s measurements, Adam’s lite beer of choice, and what the weather was like the day of The Fall are a principle reason I haven’t had cable since 1990.
I missed the report on the weather on the day of the fall. Wonder if they will have a film at eleven...
(Of course to the typical newsie/newsette anything in those early chapters of Genesis is myth anyway. And everything sprang from nothing because - science.. ;-)
