If I Didn't Have A Front-row Seat

The Dream Begins With A Teacher Who Believes In You, Who Tugs And Pushes And Leads You To The Next Plateau, Sometimes Poking You With A Sharp Stick Called 'truth'.

Foreign News Is Considered An Expletive. Thoughtfully Written Analysis Is Out, 'live Pops' Are In. 'action Jackson' Is The Cry. Hire Lookers, Not Writers. Do Powder Puff, Not Probing Interviews. Stay Away From Controversial Subjects. Kiss Ass, Move With The Mass, And For Heaven And Rating's Sake, Don't Make Anybody Mad- - Certainly Not Anybody You're Covering, And Especially Not The Mayor, The Governor, The Senator, The President Or The Vice-president Or Anybody In A Position Of Power. Make Nice, Not News.

I'm Of The Belief That You Can Have Only One Commander-in-chief At A Time, Only One President At A Time. President Bush Is Our President. Whatever He Decides Vis-a-vis War Or Peace In Iraq Is What We Will Do As A Country. And I For One Will Swing In Behind Him As A Citizen ... And Support Whatever His Decision Is.
