I was glued to my television during the Iraq War, and now I've found out there were some unexepected consequences of watching the CNN coverage.
1) I really, really like Aaron Brown. His reporting of the Iraq War was so outstanding.
2) I want to vote for Wesley Clark for the democratic nominee for president. He was one of the Iraq War commentators on CNN along with Aaron Brown, and I came to really respect his opinions on a variety of topics. I'd vote for Wesley Clark for president in a hearbeat.
3) I watched alot of Anderson Cooper's coverage, and the man is starting to look more and more attractive. His white or very white blonde hair is kind of a turnoff since I don't do blondes, but he does have beautiful sparkling eyes that just twinkle at you.

Talk about embedded journalists. From the blog of H. Brown - SF Bulldog:
"I recall sitting in my office at Gonzo Central at 2am with 6 or 8 other reporters drinking strong liquor and comparing notes from the campaign field. … Adriel Hampton (Murphy’s right, Adriel is the press’s Journalist of the year), Carlos Petroni, Savannah Blackwell, Mike Sugerman, J.K. Dineen & Ethan Fletcher. … Matt Hirsch, Chris Finn, Chance Martin & Randy Shaw."
What were Adriel Hampton (political columnist for the San Francisco Examiner), Mike Sugerman (Reporter, Eyewitness News and Evening Magazine - KPIX Channel 5), J.K. Dineen (reporter - SF Examiner), and Ethan Fletcher (reporter - SF Examiner) doing at the Matt Gonzalez campaign HQ at that hour? There were San Francisco Bay Guardian reporters there as well, but that was to be expected. But the others?
Everyone in the media talked about there being a Gavin Newsome bias in the media, but what about these media people? And wasn’t KPIX Channel 5 the one releasing all those polls that showed Gonzalez ahead of Newsome? A media bias against Newsome? Maybe more like a white lie to cover the media’s own bias I’d say.
“Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice.” Just more evidence that the media is completely biased and won’t admit it, and one more reason why blogs are begging to be important sources of information.
“Liberal media bias” the conservatives whine, and I’m like hmmmm … perhaps there is some truth to that.
Media outlets to be suspicious about: The San Francisco Examiner and Channel 5 - KPIX.
I'm so naive that I used to think that The San Francisco Bay Guardian tried at least to be fair about their reporting. Boy, was I wrong! This last mayoral election so proved that.

Happy New Year everyone!
I had a grandma haunting this morning. When I finally got up and walked into the kitchen to make coffee, my kitchen smelled like my grandma's kitchen.
Talk about freaking out! I had to close my eyes and reopen them because I'd only ever smelled that combination of smells at home on Kauai. My kitchen didn't smell like that last night. It was so spooky! Even the cabinets smelled like her kitchen.
Why was grandma's spirit in my kitchen? How scary! I made coffee, cooked breakfast and then left. In the afternoon when I went back in, the smell was gone. Creepy, creepy!
It was raining so hard last night, I dreamt I was driving in a car on Kauai and one of the rivers had flooded and I couldn't get across.
In the 18 years I lived there, flooding happened twice but only after four to five solid days of non-stop monsoon rain. We were lucky as our house never got flooded out, but it happened to some of our neighbours.
