TV Times - CNN - Gambling on violence in Irak and the unpopularity at home of US Forces deployment there to win the Presidential race might be a risky business.

When you do not have much to say about unemployment, economic growth, medicare or domestic issues, you can look to find out the most unpopular subject to exploit it betting the public won't find out before the election is done. Altough, this is a very risky business. Betting on ignorance because it is a difficult subject to explain is criminal but it is also stupid as you may need right after the election to explain exactly the opposite.

I thought watching CNN while abroad might help homesickness, in fact, it makes it worse most of the time, on top of that, I just found out I am about to miss Ashley's sale and I needed to change the bedroom set. Bad luck.
