Sorry, but I don't under your comments and question.

Are we ever going to stop hearing about Foley? Or do we have to wait until November? I mean, he did a very bad thing. Do what needs to be done to him. But I don't like how the news keeps dragging this story on ...

It will last at least until the elections, especially since control of Congress is potentially riding on a few select races and this situation can have an impact on that balance. The particular story itself may be worn out, but the outcome of the election is much bigger.

Okay, I'll readilt admit it. This is a low blow to post, but I just can't resist the temptation. I'll do some penance later.

Foley and Scientology: disgraced congressman linked to CoS?

I mean why do they keep bouncing around. No updates from Iraq are on world news tonight. What they spoke of today will not be spoken of tomorrow, most likely, and the longest will stay for a week or two. All this stuff is going on, and all they are talking about is the scam of the day or who is being sued or whatever.

Don't worry, I'm sure ABC will do a special sometime this week about how Bush is destroying the Middle East, and how the terrorists would be nicer to us if we'd leave them alone, etc.

Don't know if anyone's discussed his catholic priest that admitted to playing with him as a little boy.

The priest is sitting pretty on a tropical island I think.
