I dropped mine last year. It really does improve your outlook.

I have my XM radio if something really big breaks....or my police scanner if I hear a siren.

You are a stronger person than I. I don't know if I could exist without FOX and even, hey I admit it, CNN. They were pretty good for quite a while today when Fox seemed to lag behind. But Fox sure caught up with Geraldo being on the scene.

Anyway, I guess I am a junkie. Besides I often write columns that are relevant to social events/issues, so I have to keep aware. But, as I age, it gets harder for some reason. Maybe I cherish peace more now.
