Grannys Slant on the News
Oh no not another....I just saw on ABC that there was another "miracle on the water" back in the 50s (I think) and in an ocean somewhere. Same type of landing, 33 on board, stood on the wings and ships came and got them. As if we haven't heard about the Miracle on the Hudson enough, now here is an old one just like it. I sometimes wonder why the news can not find something new to report on. One thing happens and we hear about it for weeks and weeks. How much can you redo the news so its not boring---not much. Now we will hear about the chimp that hurt the lady, we heard about the stimulus (?) for weeks, we heard about the catastrophe that was going to happen if they did not pass it right then (they did and then it was 4 days before signing and no catastrophe happened anyway. I think I need to worry more about getting hit by a piece of meteorite rather than a catastrophe). Now we will be hearing about the "OctuMom" for months and someone needs to check this lady - I see she was shopping and buying lipstick for $14 at Nordstroms today when they were sent a letter of foreclosure on their home. She could have gotten a lipstick for $3 at WalMart or Dollar General and have you noticed her fingernails when she is touching the babies? I think French manicures cost a mint. Then there is the Pres who is riding around in AF one to give a speech when it costs millions of dollars to fly that plane on each trip - thought the US was in dire straights due to financial problems. Rahm needs to tell the Pres there is such a thing as speeches by Video. Then there is ANOTHER guy who has gotten off with billions of his clients monies. Is there no end to thieves in the stock business? Plus they say when we hear about what is on the banks books, we will just sh____! I am wondering just how many Congressmen and Senators have not paid their taxes. There is the little girl missing in Florida, but you know, if I lived in an area with 50 or 60 sexual predators, I would definitely move before something like that happens to someone I love. Then the cherry on top of all this (for this week) is, Blago is still around. I had spent 10 days in the hospital when all that started and what else is there to do in the hospital but watch the news. I can almost tell you how he combs his hair, what he jogs in and how many times he AND Senator Burris have said "I have done nothing wrong.." Wow I can hardly wait for next week.

LOL - "Blago." Well, I hope you recover soon. Watching the news makes my blood pressure rise.
I think we were so much better off before t.v.! We did not know about all this stuff. Like you, I am sick to death of all the fuss the press makes over everything. You never know what to believe anymore and what not to believe. I hope you are totally recoved by now. Have a good weekend.
