p> CBS-ing br> Re: Jay D. Homnick's Dan is Done : /p> p>Well said, Mr. Homnick. I know when I heard the news that Dan Rather was done, I was as happy as an ant at a confectioner's convention, I was as pleased as an ape, inadvertently trapped in a ship cargo hold full of bananas. The news left me smiling like an airport baggage handler, after a $20 tip. I laughed so hard my bladder felt like a 12 oz. soda can, filled with 14 ounces of soda. I'm sure some folks will miss Dan like a "Monday Night Football" addict misses his favorite couch. Personally, I'll miss Dan, about as much as John Kerry misses hangin' out with his fellow Swift Boat Vets. Ol' Dan left a blemish on his legacy the size of the big red forehead zit my cousin sported, before his high school prom dance. br> -- RRD /p>

Hoping that CBS will somehow get religion on unbiased news reporting is like hoping that once Bin Laden is killed the entire militant Islam movement dies. It will take at least a couple of generations if ever before the bias that exists in the network and big city newspaper production rooms reforms itself. The journalism madrases that masquerade as schools will still be churning out misguided graduates to make mayhem and socialist propaganda on the world.

I believe Rather like that single weed that can not be eradicated from the perfect lawn would rather keep on broadcasting his mug until the end of time even if there was a single viewer to see him. He was taken out because his worth has diminished.

p>One thing is certain. The generation that reveres Rather and his ilk will someday turn to dust. And then there will be no memories good or bad. Pollyanna would best make use of her energies hosting tea parties. br> -- Diamon Sforza
