vast right-wing conspiracy (of idiots!)

Wanting to not just stumble through my day, but to stumble through it in an informed manner, I woke up and brought CNN up on the web. Not unexpectedly the lead story was the Democratic National Convention that is about to get underway in Boston. Go Kerry!

But right above the story was a HUGE boxed graphic headline REMEMBERING RONALD REAGAN!!!

At first I thought it was a banner-ad, placed there by the deep pockets of the ever more organized crazies on the right. But it wasn't an ad, it was CNN's own content. Then I had to wonder if FOX had bought out CNN.

When I returned from breakfast the graphic was gone, replaced by one touting the coverage of the convention. Suspicious...

So, was it a 'vast right-winged conspiracy' that put the first ad there? Or was it a fanatic and hopefully now fired conservative web editor? Hackers? Who knows.

What I do know is I'm not taking any chances. I'm checking my own website everyday from now on in case they decide to disfigure bumbercars.com in a similar manner. I'd hate for my 6 viewers to see an errant Ronald Reagan ad. Grrr...
