And, about that "pretty face," Decshak and Afzal... I would much rather

watch a pretty (or handsome) face give me the news from my television screen.  Television is a shallow medium.  I don't want cutesy.  I don't want ugly.  I want competent, articulate, and good looking.  If I didn't care what I was looking at, I'd watch the radio.

Re: Good Point, except that you should perhaps realize that much

I agree with Decshak .

Good Point, except that you should perhaps realize that much

of the news on TV is "just a pretty face".

Also, Mademoiselle, I just read her CNN bio and she is a member of both

the National Association of Hispanic Journalists of America and the National Association of Black Journalists, so...

Soledad is hispanic, Mademoiselle. And I don't know about Miles'

usual report status, except he does mornings.  I do not.  And even if I did, I can't watch these incredibly insipid and cheerful morning shows.

Is Miles O'Brien the one who (typically) does a lot of the science-related reporting (particularly involving the space shuttle)?

Oh, and also, what color is Soledad O'Brien? I say she's black. My mother says nyet.

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy,
which one would you think liked dolphins the most?
I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you?
You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.
