Why did I watch that? That is the most depressing commentary I've seen in a long time. My husband and I were just talking about how shameful it is that we haven't seen any reports on the computers at the Pentagon being compromised, but they interrupt for puff pieces all the time like who is dancing in the celebrity dance off thinger. I realize they cater to customers, so apparently most people consider that news?
