General Educational Development -- a high skool diploma "equivalent" (ha ha haaaaa) for those who, for whatever reason, couldn't manage the traditional 4 yrs of class attendance. It's an idiot test - even more dumbed-down than the SAT's.
Hope you're feeling better....eh?
Jennings is a biased putz. I saw him the other night at halftime of the football game, I suspect Al Michaels would have liked to have socked him for his anti-Bush bias. And I still remember the early Reagan years, when Petey would start every broadcast with an infantile unrequested anti-Reagan-administration editorial. Those snipings cured me of any desire to watch mainstream "news", thanks, Pete!
