With our news sources, we're all doomed

[Dean in Eureka, CA]

Ira,
Men and Women are wired differently.
I think men, from being the hunters and gatherers for eons... are more in tune with geography and that sorta stuff. (Gotta find are way back)
Not all women, but some (And I'm sure some men too)... have troubles with that, even knowing which direction is which. (North, South, East and West...)

Here's the worst of two worlds.



Walter Cronkite and Katie Couric. I didn't do this pic, I found it this way.

OH alright. There is just no defending some people. But if you say UK you really are talking about the United Kingdom and not England.

Perhaps it is malnutrition.

England, Scotland and Ireland--that's it.

This is the U.K. or Great Britain for the empire, and England just for England.

But even the EMPIRE is still the smallest land mass.

Ira,

I believe your credibility in this discussion just went out the window when you omitted Wales from your list of UK countries. Maybe you oughtta join Soledad in her geography lessons?

[GHOSTSSX]

I remember when Soledad was a newbie, doin' a tech show on Saturday Mornings on NBC. She has always been easy on the eyes!

CHUCK

Hey! I'm part Welsh, too!!!

[Ira]

Wales actually counts, Kevin?

I didn't know that was a country--I thought it was a proctorate, a territory, a commonwealth...that kind of thing.

I believe your credibility in this discussion just went out the window when you omitted Wales from your list of UK countries.

And actually "Ireland" is not part of the UK. "Northern Ireland" is, but the rest of it is an independent republic. While the UK stuck with the Pound, Ireland went with the Euro. A pity - their money was really cool.

And yes, Ira, Wales is one of the four contries that comprise the UK - with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are dependencies. Remaining territories include Bermuda, Gibraltar, Montserrat and Saint Helena.

Perhaps we should stop picking our news anchor folks for their "breast" factors.

All of this reminds me of the movie "Network".

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Ed Bradley. I really enjoyed him.

Nahhhh...never mind.

Let's just keep it the way it is.

Plus, every time she got a right answer, she stared into space like a dummy, and Alex had to remind her:

"Uh, Soledad--your turn to pick again."

LIKE TEN TIMES!

Now, come on Ira...give the poor woman a break...Maybe the teleprompter wasn't working.

There's a weatherwoman on the local Fox station here who I don't care WHAT she knows!

As long as she keeps wearing those tight sweaters.

OH yea, she does the weather???????? She does have two outstanding features that do leave me speechless Leaves alot up to the imagination I will in the future pay more attention to what she says about the "weather" however in the future.

[Ira]

Woody knows exactly who I'm talking about.

[asianflava]

Is this the one? Probably so because she is wearing one of those tight sweaters.
