So, I checked out the mainstream TV media, i.e. cable news/talk shows:

Saw some pieces about a robbery/hostage situation - that store manager kept his cool.

Saw some pieces about Madame Sarkozy's visit to the UK - she is cool, calm and stunning.

Saw lots of stuff about Dem primary race - shallow, gossip level, talking head, tripe. Interesting but so lacking in substance I moved on. Not about issues - while whining about the failure of our candidates to address the issues - all about the round robins of who said what, when and where. No wonder we have a hard time defining a Democratic agenda if we rely on cable shows to help shape the debate.

Saw a couple of Iraq updates - Slim, dated, again little substance.

It's got to get better...

2. Carla Bruni (Mme Sarkozy) is a talented musician/songwriter

as well as a former model. Her soft vocals and beautiful acoustic guitar playing on her album "Quelqu'un m'a dit" make it one of my all time favorites. Never get tired of it.
