[BC] Re: CBS evening "stories"

[Ron Castro]

They're right about that as far as I'm concerned.  I'm tired of these 
blow-dried lame-brains telling us the obvious, like last night when one of 
the bubble-heads was standing under a Ramada Inn sign in a hurricane, 
waiting for it to blow down.  "This is a dangerous situation", she wails 
into the mic.  No, not really, unless you're stupid enough to stand under 
it.  The wall-to-wall coverage of the non-event of a hurricane in Florida 
(hurricanes in FL? OMG....who'd have ever thought!!), on every channel, 
non-stop was way over the top IMHO.
