Ok back again.

A new task, recapping the Sunday Morning News shows:

Fox News -
Kerry vs Bush on the war on terror - is Bush's execution to what Kerry is stating. Brit says it is about being aggressive vs. sensitive. Juan makes the point that it is not about being sensitive but being precise. Results like Iraq are unacceptable. Really, that place is messed up bigtime.

Bush guys says demos negative in aug, bush not. uhhhh swift boat ads?

Race has gone from a referendum on Bush to kerry - most people according to polls think

Big media story out of the RMC? - Fox touting they had the highest TV ratings during the RNC. These guys think it is because they rock. Trad broadcast has given away most live news territory. lordy.

ABC Sunday Morning -
These guys do the best job of recapping the news.

McCain -Chechnya problem needs to be addressed in a more proactive way. Russian have been very brutal there so there is valid frustration and now we have muslim extremests have infiltrated and made the problem even worse. Reported the russians have killed over 100,000 people.

McCain - says he disagrees with the way Zell went after the Democrats. People this is about different approaches to govern, NOT which side is patriotic. Don't be ignorant by thinking otherwise.

McCain - ongoing fight against pork laden bills in the senate

Social Security and Medicare are the greatest challenges right now. Tough decisions need to be made on spending. Will this stuff be around when I am old? Yes, but it will be more like a cookie and bus ticket. Hmmm, McCain suggested putting surpluses in SS. LIKE THE ONE WE HAD WHEN BUSH TOOK OFFICE?? What did you all do with your $200?

Uploading now as laptop battery is almost Ghandi.
