I was just thinking that it was the Iraqi people getting sick and tired of the LSM reporting nothing but bad news and ignoring the good news.

The MSM is gearing up for #2000 today. Already heard remarks on local, national radio as they get ready for the big countdown. Sickening when/if this blast is the one responsible.
