no wonder the earth looks sad today

this was the front page on cnn.com this morning.

look outside the window. here in berkeley, it feels like every disgusting fall morning: gray, dreary, cold, and somewhat damp. it's foggy; the cars are awful loud, and everyone on the streets seems particularly quiet, despite the usual earphones-in, noise out.

Kevin is awesome.

the earth looks so sad today.

peter jennings was 67. he died of lung cancer.

personally, he was my favorite; sam donaldson was too highbrow (not to mention that wig!), walter cronkite was -- well, he was mentioned in zoolander, and tom brokaw reminded me too much of an overgrown six-year old (kinda like alec stewart). peter jenning was all to real, you know -- he typed with just his index fingers, and he typed fast! -- and it really is sad to come home from grocery shopping to find out on the news that he passed away.

he didn't have any annoying speech impediments (ahem, barbara walters, or should i say, bawbawa wawtews), and he was actually nice! he cared about the news, which is really what i admired most.

he didn't graduate high school, but even still, that made him strive to be better and one of the leadig resources that the people could utilize.

sigh. peter jennings, wherever you are, you're already in a better place.

america's media credibility just dropped like 400 points.
