I don’t usually talk about my dreams, much less write about them. They’re usually so unintelligible they don’t even interest me<\/i>. But last night I had a dream that seemed very clear.<\/p>\n

In my dream, I called CNN and said “When are you going to interrupt your normal programming to cover tomorrow’s terrorist attacks?” … and the voice said “9:30” … and I said “that’s 9:30 Eastern, right? Tomorrow morning?” … and the voice said “That’s right, sir. 9:30 A.M. Eastern time tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

The last time I checked the TV, it was nearly noon eastern time, and CNN was still talking about Cindy Sheehan and the price of oil … and something about an actress … and something about an athlete. This is good. We need them to keep talking about stuff like this all day.<\/p>\n

My, how times have changed! Just a few months ago I was pointing out, derisively, the amount of attention CNN was giving to the trial of a former pop singer. Today I’d be happy if they talked about that trial all day, just as long as they don’t interrupt their normal programming for live coverage of the terrorist attacks, and the new nuclear war.<\/p>\n

What’s that, you say? Have I lost my mind? Well maybe I have, but that has nothing to do with this. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

In case you haven’t noticed, the internet has been abuzz lately with talk of impending terror attacks against the USA, on a scale heretofore unimaginable; such attacks to trigger the imposition of martial law at home and a full-scale, conventional and nuclear, attack on Iran. And according to some sources, the attack was supposed to come — if it did come — today.<\/p>\n

After that dream, I couldn’t very well sleep, and I’ve been checking the TV regularly — something I never<\/i> do — just to see what CNN is doing. Everything seems absolutely normal. So I’m starting to believe that one of the following things may<\/i> be true:<\/p>\n
