Click… "Now here's the latest at six…" Your look is sleek Behind golden locks Reaping the world's plight The words you speak From your two foot box Frighten me every night Please don't tell me I don't want to know I'm happy in my bliss Don't make me see I don't need your show I'd rather that I miss Fire and brimstone Death and destruction It's all out there waiting Sold in sweet tone With a dash of fun For a better rating The news at six With the most recent Grisly details to sell The river Styx Flowing through my set Proof that there is a hell |

It is good to see you again Mr. Scott. You definately come back with a bang! Great job describing the horror of the six o'clock news. I don't want to know either...*sigh* |

Andrew, this is wonderful. I agree with you totally. Every bit of news is read with such 'happy drama', especially now in the November sweeps! Is it better to turn off the set and not be aware..perhaps not...but I take my news in small doses...CNN.com.. then the paper..then a bit of TV in the evening. |

Lady Marilyn: It's good to be seen. Thanks... its been busy around the work place and I've had little time for the more pleasurable things such as PIP. Glad you liked. Ms. DeVine One: I second that small doses bit. And I have a love / hate relationship with the sweeps. Thanks for checking in. Yo Toe! Thanks buddy... I've missed you too... (in a small sort of nattish way  ) Things are good, but busy. Gatta spend time trying to make the all mighty buck don't cha know. Well, back to it. |

Andrew, this is wonderful, and oh so truthful. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

S'why I have no such thing as "cable" at my house. All my "TV watching" is done on small pages with black lettering peering back at me. Well done Andrew, a fine message! |

I too find that I'm happier when I don't watch the news. There's enough going on right here at home, without borrowing trouble. If something's big enough to matter, someone will tell me about it anyway. You know, important stuff, like when Lucy died. |

Thank you all so very much. It's nice to be missed, but nicer to be back. Things are starting to slow down so I should have more opportunity to respond in kind. Again, thanks to you all, you made this kid feel good. |
