CBS and Dan Rather are swollen and may take time, if not years, to recover from last week and this weekend’s beehive carnage (see detailed attacks and counterattacks here and here and here and here and here etc.). ... But ya know what? I don’t care. I mean, what a colossal waste of time over such trivial issues. Hey, waddaya know. There’s a real live WAR GOING ON on the other side of the globe. ...
