There really should be some standard for the kind of news the TV channels bring to our living rooms. The other day I chanced upon one that was showing how Mr. Obama squashed a fly that was harassing him during an interview. I couldn't believe my eyes when the camera zoomed on the hapless (and lifeless!) creature that had the misfortune to crossthe path of the US Prez. I wonder if Mr. Obama was wishing right then that Osama could be squashed like that :-)

I couldn't help but think that in the good old cold war days the Americans would have suspected the Russians of "bug"ging the president :-)
