I hate Yasser Arafat

Couldn't the old coot have waited an extra five minutes to die?


So I'm watching the hit new CBS drama, CSI:NY, and they get
to the part of the show where the prime suspect is in custody, and
they begin to piece together the clues they've uncovered (due to their
amazing forensic skills). "OK, we know you were at the shop, and we
know how you got in..."


And then what happens is that we get to find out all the details.
We get to hear how the crime went down. Does the suspect admit to it?
Was he working with someone, and that person started killing people?
Was it supposed to be a fun time that went horribly, horribly
wrong?


Well, last night, we never found out.


In this case, all we got to see was the CBS News "Special Report"
about the life and death of Yasser Arafat. It lasted just long enough
so that we could see the very end of the exciting scenes from next
week's exciting episode of the exciting new drama, CSI:NY.


What the hell did those bastards at CBS think? We couldn't wait
five minutes until the news to hear about Arafat's death? Do they
actually think that he is more important than the culmination of 55
minutes of amazing forensic drama?


If I wasn't so lazy, I'd fire off an angry email to those
money-grubbing ho's. (That's probably not the proper insult to use,
but I heard it on the radio this morning and wanted to work it
in.)

Did you give any thought to the theory that Yasser Arafat might have actually committed the murder on CSI? With enough Caramel Bock, you could convince yourself.

I heard on the radio that CBS sacked the producer that made the call to cut in on CSI. They were discussing the irony of a person at CBS getting fired for getting the news right.
