CNN Struggles to Gain Additional Viewershiphttp://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/27/business/media/27cnn.html
For the most part, there can be no other choice. While MSNBC does offer some good analysis and insight with their programming, CNN still comes out as being the best in every respect. And then there is the hapless FOX-FAUX news, a disgrace and a lost cause.

A Climate Report on MSNBC

If you missed this program, try to catch it in the future in the coming weeks. Here is a link that contains some of the information and video, which is quite interesting.

The story of the collapse of the exurbs, particularly in the Phoenix metro area, but also applicable to other cities and their exurbs, perhaps even Castle Rock, CO at some point in the near future..

The Continuing Legacy of Nuclear Bomb Testing

A Single Payer approach is really the only way to go, especially with millions of boomers moving into their 50s and 60s and likely in need of much greater health care than has ever been experienced in this nation or elsewhere in the past. Leave things the way they are or similarly, and premiums and costs will skyrocket into complete inaffordabliity.
