Talk about your busy news day! The bin Laden tape. The end of the ABM treaty. Somebody shoots up India’s parliament. Israel formally cuts off Arafat. (And let’s not even talk about the really big story, CSI’s rising ratings.) That’d be a busy news week most times, not just a busy news day.
Reminds me of Dec. 19, 1998, the day when Clinton was impeached, the ascendant Speaker of the House resigned, and the U.S. bombed Iraq. (Speaking of resignation, this site has the resignation letters of a bunch of 20th century politicos. Oh, and Ginger Spice.)

CSI ROCKS!!! I’m so glad it’s Thursday!!
DITTO – CSI kicks @$$.
Now CSI is up against ER. It’s the battle of the initials. Maybe West Wing will become WW.
Of course, the TV news never stops as apparently Fox TV appointed one of Satan’s henchmen to be president. The publisher of Shop Talk (an online TV industry newsletter) had this to say about Fox TV’s new president: “Tony Vinciquerra is one of the most EVIL men I’ve ever met in broadcasting,” Don Fitzpatrick wrote, without explaining his enmity towards the new Fox TV chief. Fitzpatrick, who also owns a prominent broadcast recruitment firm in San Francisco that bears his name, concluded: “God help the Fox network. He is one of the most unprincipled human beings I’ve ever met.”
That’s interesting — I used to read Shop Talk, and I always thought Don was a pretty sensible guy.
