Sad state of things

Two quick hits tonight. If I take longer than 2 minutes to make this post, I’ll be in deep doo-doo with several people.

Larry King has never used the Internet. See for yourself. This explains a lot about the lame questions he’s always asking his guests. Remember also that CNN is the most popular US news channel in other countries, so what he says reflects on us too.

LARRY KING: The wife loves it. I wouldn’t love it. What do you punch little buttons and things?

ROSANNE BARR: You just click on this thing. The thing is you got to be able to read, so you have to have strong glasses when you’ve over 50 and then you just scroll down and click. It’s not that hard. I can show you how to do it.

KING: No, thanks.

Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich is officially calling for funds for the war in Iraq to be cut off, in order to force our troops to pull out.

"We have to determine that the time has come to cut off funds. There’s enough money in the pipeline to achieve the orderly withdrawal that Senator McGovern is talking about. But cut off funds, we must. That's the ultimate power of the Congress, the power of the purse. That's how we'll end this war, and that’s the only way we’re going to end this war.”
