Funny

It's probably just the fact that the company that censored the ABC Nightline broadcasts for reasons of "political balance" doesn't own any CBS stations, but it's interesting to note that there was no conservative outrage over last night's 60 Minutes tribute to the fallen in Iraq.

Or perhaps it was the fact that it wasn't announced with quite the same gusto as the Nightline broadcast. However, it was still disturbing nonetheless, since it took a full rendition of Barber's Adagio for Strings to simply scan all the photos across the screen--no names, no dates, no commentary--just photo after photo.

And, while not to trivialize either tribute, a scary thought came to me. It took ten minutes to show the photos for Iraq; if they had done the same for World War II, it would have taken the entire Memorial Day weekend.
