OK, the Sony guy came, it was just a power unit, no need for major new

parts, so we now have TV again.

Switched it on: FNC talking about… the woman missing in Aruba! Sheesh,

is that still going on? This is the story of the year? Don’t people go

missing every day? Even cute People? What on earth is this all about?

FNC is v. savvy about what their audience wants to see, so presumably there

is tremendous public interest in this story. **Why?** Can anyone tell me?

Anyone? Why isn’t it as total a snoozer to the great American public as it

is to me?

Flipped over to Jon Stewart in disgust. V. funny piece on the admin’s

change of terminology from “War on terror” to “struggle against really bad

people,” or whatever the dumb fool hell it is. V. funny, better than my

Radio Derb spot — but hey, Jon has writers. And a mega-salary. Rich?

Hello? Rich?
