A Great Day for the Planet!
And yet...a 'Low Water Mark for Broadcast TV Viewing' Why? Well, according to the Yahoo! Asia News (I know;)...
TV viewers must have taken to the beach: It was the least-watched week in recorded history for the four biggest broadcast networks.
CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox averaged 20.8 million viewers during the average prime-time minute last week, according to Nielsen Media Research. That sunk below the previous record, set during the last week of July in 2005.
While this is good news. It's apparently not unexpected...
It wasn't entirely unexpected. By tradition, the week that includes Independence Day has the fewest viewers of the year, or close to it, because rerun season is in full swing and the public is consumed with outdoor activities
"The public is consumed with outdoor activities"...Hm. And we're insanely obese:) Something is wrong with this picture...

Think things are getting better in Iraq? Then do not, under and circumstances, read any dispatch from CNN's Nic Robertson. Here is a partial one, taken from the New Republic on-line.
One international official told me of reports among his staff that a 15-year-old girl had been beheaded and a dog's head sewn on her body in its place; and of a young child who had had his hands drilled and bolted together before being killed.Full article HERE. For once, I thank God we don't have a picture...
Stay Grounded and as always...
Stay Naked.

that is truly horrific about the girl. [wretching at my desk]
We agree 100%. We're not trying to be sensaltionalistic. We're about trying to accurately portray what's happening over there. It appears to us that the main issue right now is not insurgents/terrorists or other assorted freedom haters...it's the increasingly brutal sectarian violence which really, in our opinion, has nothing to with us other then to offer up our sons and daughters as targets of rage. We when we say we want our troops out we mean NOW as in Today...
