I agree that your post is absolutely dead on...it sets the foundation for the mess we are in now. And I mean mess!

Just as learned of Cronkite's death from foxnews.com, I learned of Tim Russert's death from FNC. Where? In my room at the Quality Inn near the LIE and BQE in Maspeth, Queens.

What was I doing in Maspeth? Getting ready to head out to Shea Stadium to attend a Mets game to which I'd won tix in a Fox&F contest.
