Nothing special about that, of course. It probably makes most of us anxious.
I don't want to get into the political stuff here. I don't know what I think about it, but I do know how I feel about it.
I feel anxious and worried and I know I need to limit my exposure to the news, but I've not done very well thus far in following my own rules about that.
The only commentary I care to offer here is about the broadcast news coverage, really. As I watched the video feed from Baghdad last night, and listened to the constant chatter of the commentators commenting continuously without having any new information come out of their mouths, like so much play by play, this thought occurred to me:
"They cover sports as though it were war, and war as though it were sports."
