merchimerchI really managed to do very little yesterday. I made lemon ginger shortbread and wrote up a 2 page event report. oh and watched hours and hours of television. BBC Prime on a sunday is pretty tempting, though ready steady cook is really not the best thing to watch when trying to be all heathy and eat veggies and yoghurt and non-delectable things.
Just missed the Daily Show on CNN - I guess it is on every weekend as a "global edition" I think I may have to tune in regularly.
Also caught something called "Late Edition" with Wolf Blitzer. What a bunch of conservative dreck that was. Wolfie spent the whole time interviewing the family and supportive congresspeople of the Schiavo, and gave the husband who claims to be acting on his wife's wishes a 10 second sound bite. The whole time Wolfie was talking about "Saving" Schaivo - this makes me sad. If I was a vegetable for 15 years and had expressed a wish to my husband to not let me continue living if i was brain dead, I would hope that the system would provide a way for me to die with dignity. The family seems like it is being very selfish. I am sure it is incredibly painful to lose a daughter like that and my heart goes out to them, but I think it is time to let go.
My heart does not go out to Wolf Blitzer. In addition to this insanely biased coverage of the Schaivo case, he was in Kuwait for a special 2nd anniversary of the Iraq War show. He spent the whole time interviewing a general who isn't allowed to defame the current regime or the action in Iraq while in uniform. We got a ton of shifty-eyed, canned answers and that was the coverage for the day - oh yes, now all our troops have body armor and by the end of the year all the vehicles will be armored at the highest level of security. There was no mention of the protests that were going on all over the world, and there was a 1 question interview with a democrat and a republican senator about exit strategy.
I could have sworn I was watching fox news.
