1) Saturday's local newspaper ran this headline on the bottom half of the first page: "75 percent of American youth do not qualify for military - lack of education, obesity, prison record make 1 in 4 ineligible" Since when does 1 in 4 equal 75 percent? Apparently the writer is one of the 1 in 4. (or 75 percent. Whatever)
2) The best program on TV right now is "Diners Drive-Ins, and Dives" bar none. Great food and good humor. What's not to like? The runner up is "Antiques Roadshow." Pretty interesting stuff - and the Feedback Booth at the end is a hoot.
3) There's a new History Channel program called "WWII in HD." It gives much credit to the leaders of the free world, the American people, and the soldiers who fought. Why isn't the same effort in the media being made for our current military actions to stop like-minded despots? Do they really not see?

I don't if those in the media don't see, but they're a big reason that the rest of the U.S. doesn't see.
Well Dad, as far as your first comment goes, I heard that 75% of all statistics are made up ;) But now I am confused about whether they made up the 75% or the 1 in 4, or both...
