I just got off the phone with a family member who gets all her news from the usual network leftist media sources. She was distraught over the death of Keiko the whale. I asked her what she thought of the big news of the day....the capture of Saddam. She told me that was no big deal and it did not mean anything.

I was amazed at that reaction, even from her. I asked what made her think his capture was not important. She said that his second in command (who's name she could not remember) now has all the money and he will just carry on the fight so catching Saddam is meaningless. Now I know she did not come up with that one on her own, so I must assume that is one of the ideas being pushed by the mainstream media. Marginalizing the significance of his capture will be important in the days ahead.

I heard it today!!! I forget the guy's name but I heardx that crap on NBC in the morning. I've seen so much media today it's hard to keep it all straight, but it all sucks.

Oh, and I can't help but notice that CBS-'60 Minutes', and ABC are advertising specials tonight on the capture. You can bet they're going to get their crap in those reports - don't want Americans seeing the capture for what it was!

Thats the new spin. Up untill yesterday it was "WHERE'S SADDAM??? WHERE'S SADDAM??? WHERE'S SADDAM??? WHERE'S SADDAM???"

Now it's: "No big deal. He's not important."
