I see that ABC is continuing its annual tradition of airing patriotic programming on Memorial Day.
Tonight, for instance, they're running The Bachelorette from 8:00 to 10:00.

A more dignified tribute to our fallen I can hardly imagine.

3. I gave up on ABC news

and documentaries after the death of
Peter Jennings.

They have gone completely down the toilet, imo.
Remember 'The Road to 9-11'?- What a piece of RW crap!
Let's not forget John Stossel, one of their leading
"news anchors"! He is now a uberRWingnut on
Faux News, who openly condones discrimination.
It doesn't surprise me that they had 'The Bachelorette'
on- I don't expect much from them.

:(

HBO had a good movie-' Taking Chance' with
Kevin Bacon in the lead.
It was the true story of a Marine officer accompanying
the casket of a young soldier, Chance Phelps who
was killed in Iraq on the journey back to his family
in Wyoming.

It was very well done.
