If we didn't have blogs, we wouldn't know much of what is happening! You will get about as much Political News off the Weather Channel as you will the National News at 6pm on about any channel. Afterall, we can't hurt anyones feeling or embarrass someone. Notice how little coverage there was on NBC about Bush saying "Shit" at the banquet table. They said they were unable to put that word on the air, but CNN put it on there all day.<BR/>Isn't this the good President that calls himself such a Christian and use a word like that at the dinner table.
