Election "News" takes away from REAL news.
How many news stories weren't heard yesterday (and today) because of election "news". I say "news" that way because most of it was speculation after speculation until all the counts are done. And then they spend all day today talking about how close it was and/or why those guesstimates weren't correct or why person X didn't end up winning.
It's a colossal waste of time until the real counts are done (and it's not like we have to wait weeks for the results). There is real news they could be telling us. There are people missing, there are wars and disasters. There might even be something nice that happened in the world that they can tell us about. Heck, I'd rather hear the weather or traffic report than election speculation.
If they really want to give me election information today. Tell me the winners and give me 5 minutes of the winning candidates telling me the first dozen things that they are actually going to do/fix/implement once they take office. Condolence speeches to the losers and congratulations to the winners aren't telling me anything...

I can't wait to see the The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe!!!
Don't let the number ordering on the books fool you, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is the first one in the Chronicles of Narnia series. They renumbered them a few years ago and made a book written later,The Magician's Nephew, be the first one because it chronologically took place first. I still think they need to be read in the original order. If you haven't read the series be sure to read it, I've mentioned Narnia many times before.
I think they should be read in the original order for the same reason I think Star Wars should be watched 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 - Who cares about the decline of Anakin Skywalker if you don't know who he's going to grow up to be? The story of R2 and 3PO isn't important if you don't know what they will do someday if you haven't seen A New Hope (#4), they're just some silly robots. Episodes 1-3 are the sequel to the story they just take place chronlogically first. Who cares about the story of the lamp post in Narnia if you've never had time to wonder about it? Obviously the movie folks feel the same way since they choose to start with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
The movie for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe looks incredible! The effects look great, I get chills every time I see the preview. I hope it lives up to my expectations...
