OK�am I the only one on the planet who could not give a rats ass that Tom Brokaw is retiring? Admittedly, I�m a Peter Jenkins gal, but I have always thought Tom Brokaw seemed a nice, intelligent, personable and interesting man when on talk shows and the like. And I�m sure his years of covering news for a living has made him pay attention to current affairs whether he wanted to or not and if he�s retained even a quarter of all the news items he�s covered over the years�well, I�m sure he�d be an interesting dinner companion. But jeez�I haven�t seen this much hyperbole since Ronald Regan died. Hour-long special retrospectives here, a few Today show interviews there�holy cow. He�s a man who reads for a living. Really worth all of this fuss? ~~~ Word of the Day for Wednesday December 1, 2004 ne plus ultra nee-plus-UL-truh; nay-, noun: |
