Array ( [sid] => 80932 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Nightly News [time] => 2005-01-21 22:46:33 [hometext] => The Nightly News OR a commentary on our country OR both..............(whichever you prefer) [bodytext] => turn on the news will you, I heard there is a tsunami or something in Asia

yeah I know, it's terrible thousands of people dying, breaks your heart doesn’t it

"And in the news tonight, the Vice President of Indonesia Jusaf Kalla, said the death toll in Indonesia could reach anywhere as high as 25,000, with around 100,000 injured"

it's horrible just horrible, and there was no warning,

yeah, well maybe 60 seconds, but what’s that gonna do for you

well, all I can say is, it's time to make peace with whoever your creator is, at a time like that

you can say that again, chilling though isn't it, no way to escape, everything was in God's hands

if you believe in God

still thought 25,000, whowhee, just glad that wasn’t us

I know, yeah, well, hey will you look at that, their starting their People of the Year, or Person of the Year, or whatever it is

yeah, I like those, well whadya know, it's that lady, had to do with the 9/11 commission or something, I heard about her

yeah I know, it's great what she's doing, you know, it's horrible though just horrible what happened,

hard to imagine all those people dying on American soil, what was it 3, 4 thousand

oh I know, it was an outrage, the whole country felt it

yeah I know, hey, it's the eagles I didn't know they were playing tonight

let's move into the other room, watch it on the good screen

aww, the eagles, their a great team, but they can never quite make it to the superbowl, it drives me nuts ya know

oh I know, every year, just one game away,

well, let's hope that they make it this year, that's all we can do is hope, ya know

I hear you, well, i'll be praying this January to see that green and white on the fields, (chuckles)

I hear ya I hear ya, listen while your up, grab me a soda or something will ya

dr. pepper good?

that'll be fine, thanx bud
