Who the **** cares about ****ing Ken Jennings, seriously.

I really liked Peter Jenning's coverage of September 11th, I thought he did a very good job handling the situation.

I do! Plus I never watch ABC news.

I don't appreciate your attitude.

So within the space of about a year, all three network newscasters are gone. Not that it matters hugely to me because I get all my news from blogs and The Daily Show.

RIP even though smokers get little sympathy from me. You made the choice, you pay for it.

You know, your moral righteousness is kind of funny. When Peter Jennings was young, everybody smoked and studies hadn't conclusively linked smoking to all the horrible things we know about today. Moreover, Jennings quit smoking 20 years ago.

Ya, I saw this on the news this morning. I really did like how he covered the terror attacks on September 11. Quite the professional.

RIP.

And then quickly stopped again. It was a brief relapse (or so I read), and Jennings called himself "weak" for it. Of course, starting again after 9/11 by itself isn't enough to get lung cancer. His smoking before had already sealed it for him.
