There was no "Honor Segment" of the American Dead at War.
This is also turning into a venue of treason.

This is the area highly motivated to act against states best interests. It isn't intended to be helpful but with the 'new wave' of states taking on what rightfully belongs for the federal government to take on including environmental and non exploitive initiatives.
The 'segment' was about al Qaeda but the only 'print' that stood out was the title "Cap State Spending : the next new wave?"
It is a movement from somewhere supposedly in California which would give it a 'tilt' of 'liberalism' but if it is starting in California it is to 'blind side' the left in this country. The federal initiatives is to stop the liberals at the State Level from succeeding. In other words Bush is plenty PISSED off as are morons such as these that states have been increasing taxes for years to bring about success in job growth regardless the intentions of the feds. See that doesn't happen in Red States. The Reds tax high anyway but they chronically spend it on pork such as the Feds are doing now.
Example: North Carolina. The tax rates in the state are high on all venues. The spending 'enables' pork projects such as traffic loops that never really solve problems so much as add to urban sprawl. There are currently seven loops in the planning or started in the state. There isn't that room in NC yet alone the construction projects that follow. The current traffic on several of these planned loops don't even have significant traffic problems to build a loop. But, urban plannig being what it is will insure pork projects come first while education comes last.
When Bush cut federal taxes and trashed the economy he didn't expect the liberal states to benefit by out smarting him. He expected them to be the sheep the red states are and follow his example. "The Blind Leading The Blind" so to speak expect the Commander and Chief Blind Man knows where the cliff is the sheep will fall into and do. The ideology of the Red States results in poor economies that are dominated by miltiary. So, when Red States tax high for aesthetic reasons it is to make things nice for the rich folks while the poor folks find pride in military service.
The 'title' that appeared on NewsNight's "Morning Papers" in the Christian Science Monitor is treasonist. It was a 'message' to those that were watching there is a way to undo the 'revolt' of the Blue States that has lead in a direction of prosperity without trapping their youth in military service.

The program is chronically caucasian with every commercial touting those values.
THE LAST LOW BLOW ... is a planned assault against the integrity of the spouses of the miliary dead.
For a few months now CNN has tastelessly played the "Panasonic" commercial called "Life is color" whereby at the conclusion of this commercial a woman is walking behind a hearse in "Defiance" of her spouse's death. I thought that was enough of an atrocity given the 'pain' of the country considering a regular segment of this program was an Honor Segment for the USA military dead.
Now, realizing Ms. Bigot feels she has overwhelming control of all minds within telecast reach has created a real life role model.
Premiering as this role model is the gaunt, Carol "The Gauntlet" Costello. The woman dressed in black in the 'dead of summer' from head to toe, drapped in 'wealth' from head to toe doing nothing but pundancy propaganda for Bush from 5AM through most of American Morning. This is OBVIOUSLY an invitation to what Ms. Bigot preceives as 'wealthy' military widows to find meaning in life as a 'chic' Repuglican grassroots politico with promises of being much more.
Since, the guant Carol "I have run the Gauntlet of Life's Colors" Costello is maxing the sex appeal what comes across is a 'saavy' widow on her way to her next man. Perhaps, another military man who might increase her financial bottomline further with his death in Iraq.
I did not create this stuff up, it 'screams' across the airewave. It is very sexy and enticing and reeks of inappropriate priorities for any news network. But. Not a surprise coming from this one.
