Can guarantee that the vast majority of troops wouldn't want us sitting here 24/7 getting upset at only watching cable news to see what is going on in the Gulf. It doesn't mean that we care any less about the troops because we want to watch the Oscars. I actually resent being made to feel guilty because I want to watch the Oscars.

I bet in downtime the troops which they could watch some tv, play cards, or something. Weren't they broadcasting baseball games,etc. during the Gulf War? Sheesh. I'm not going to feel guilty either. Like I said, our brains needs a break from reality. That's why people like movies.

I can't say I ever really watch the Oscars, but like a train wreck, I want to see the stars make fools of themselves if/when they opine on the war. Of course, I did this on Grammy night and other than Fred Durst reviving a theretofore arcane word, "agreeance", no one said anything.

I also flipped over to CNN today for a few minutes (a first in years for me, or since the advent of Fox News), to see the left spin. A few minutes was all I could take, but watching all FOX gives one and unrealistically real (coining a phrase) view of the world through the eyes of the agendized left.

To build on what you said, I sent my daily email to the troops through the Canteen and told them a little about how beautiful it was today here in Kansas, how my hyacinths were coming up, flags flying on the way to the market. I told them how thankful I was for them without whom I would not have this day, this life, this country.

I'm not watching as it's not anything that interest me... But my daughter called earlier this evening from on scene. She had went down to film the protest and see what else she could film/see. Doing it for a class project... Said she met the Freerepublic group and talked to them a few minutes.
