My goodness gracious, what a weekend of news it has been!  Every time I turn on the news, something is actually being covered other than the presidential election!

Big news of the weekend included Tim Russert dying of cardiac arrest.  All weekend long, and into today that seems to be the biggest news story, everyone is talking about Tim Russert and what a great guy he was.  I enjoyed watching his Meet The Press show, and I’m sorry he’s dead.  My sympathies to his family.

Other news, a big prison break in Afghanistan, releasing hundreds of Taliban terrorist prisoners.  Not a happy thought that we now have more of them running around ready to commit suicide bombings around the world!

And a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Japan.  I’ve only heard of six fatalities, which is amazing to me.  I would have thought more casualties would have happened from a quake that large!

Glad this weekend is over!  We don’t need that much going on!
