Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

We can only hope!

Just sent them an e-mail asking them to educate the public more in their reporting rather than political bashing. Gave specific examples of what we need to hear more about and how they could better, as journalists, provide more background into Iraq and how people there have lived in terror for 30+ years.

Also said in a post 9/11 world, we'd hoped the networks could move away from political ideology and do their work as journalists in a manner befitting their profession.

It was a dark and stormy night......(finish the story)

No! It was a sultry night! (per Billy Crystal).

I'm in an eeeerie mood right now - 32 oz black coffee and jumbo Sweet Tarts (tm) do an amazing number on your sense of humor.

On top of 3 hours of sleep!

as the clouds rolled in, Achmed bent to say his prayers....riiiiiip. If he doesn't leave soon it may be R.I.P.

[Consort]

jumbo Sweet Tarts™ or jumbo sweethearts™©®?

[AppyPappy]

Any chance of you never posting that again?

[Consort]

I think the bagcam is showing bogus pictures, at least part of the time.

[epluribus_2]

Went over to the company coffee shop looking for Necco (tm) wafers but settled on Sweet Tarts (tm) (the big ones in the long roll). Gotta prevent the inevitable bloodsugar and caffeine drop as long as possible. Must stay alert. Must keep pressing F5....

As far as checkpoint procedures, I'm not exactly sure what he said.

From Ragtime Cowgirl's transcript:
Re. check points :"We always maintain the inherant right of self defense." 'Our check points have to remain alert and vigilant. We ahe not had a change of rules...increased vigilance..."

CENTCOMs official transcript has not yet been put up for today.

[Solson]

Please don't post pics to this thread...unless you really need to...BTW, this is me....

[epluribus_2]

...must control irrational urge to do productive work...

[TigersEye]

Using MSNBC #2 and CBS. CBS is the one with sound, I think.

I've been using PMSNBC Bag-cam. It usually has sound but appeared to lose it about an hour ago. Just found that it does have sound but it has drastically been reduced. I hope I'm not holding anything hot or breakable when they restore it. Got my volume up to maximum.

[retrokitten]

LOL!! I think someone else already claimed that was thier picture a couple of days ago...but it's still funny to me!

Press to Bush admin., "you've failed to convince the world."

America to press, "No, YOU'VE failed to inform the world."

Good morning all. I have only one question......

Anybody seen Patti Ann YumYum around?
