I thought long and hard about the events that took place over the course of 2005. There were some very good things that happened this year and some very tragic ones as well. Among the top stories covered this year was the war in Iraq, the Michael Jackson trial, Louis Farrakhans million man March as covered by the mainstream media, and other stories as well that centered on the White House suspected scandals that either lead to or may lead to indictments.

Here is a link to the CBS Morning Show that did a piece on Sara Scantlin this morning. There is no information now, though, other than to say they're doing the piece. I saw it, and the reporting was remarkable in light of Terri. Remarkable. It puts my stomach in knots to look at the difference. I wonder if Terri's parents saw this piece on Sara this morning. My God, how could they watch it.
