Not only in very bad taste to say the very least, trivializing an iconic moment in our history for those of us who lived the events of WWII with so much shedding of blood, but underscores an America in which those of us who understand the significance of the question rightly ask "Is nothing sacred?"

 I think the global warming proponents have plenty of artists who can dream up their own logos and pictures without desecrating one of the most famous of all photos and insulting the soldiers who lost their lives fighting that battle.  I also think this one is going to come back and bite time mag.  in the butt.  Please note the the magazine name was not capitalized. 

It's not just soldiers who will be insulted by this, it's a time honored symbol of the struggle of our nation at war and we all should be outraged.

 This topic was exhausted yesterday. What do you think?

 Move on, there are more important matters to attend to...

 The topics of a lot of things are exhausted but everyone wants to chime in with their own byline.

But wait, isn't this the byline of an employee of the paper?  Weren't they scooped on the blog by a blogger thereby screwing up their scheduled topic? 

 I disagree maggie..but then, that's nothing new.

 I choose to ignore those that attempt to dictate when a subject has been "exhausted." I can choose for myself.

 Good point Sam.    The only objection I have to multiple blogs on the same topic is that it gets garbled as to what was said where and by whom.  The other that frustrates me is multiple pages on the same thread.  Responding on page 4 to something said on page 2 can get really confusing.

An off topic remark here.  I've taken the weekend paper for years and a couple of weeks ago I got a call from TBS offering me weekday papers in addition at no extra cost.  Well, being one who rarely turns down anything free as long as it doesn't inconvenience me, I agreed and dicovered an interesting tidbit.  I check the blogs first thing every morning and bring the paper in later.  Most of the time, on the blog the day before, the interesting stuff has already been discussed by the bloggers.  The paper paper is old news.

We are in it, on it, and searching out the future news.

 Attenborough ends nature TV cycle, fears for future

LONDON (Reuters) - David Attenborough has done more than just about anyone to teach us about our planet.

As he marks the end of his sweeping natural history television series, seen by hundreds of millions of people over 30 years, the British broadcaster is fearful of what the future holds for the Earth and its inhabitants.

"You could say that this is a survey of how the world looked and how it may not look the same in 50 years' time."

DEEPLY DEPRESSING"

Attenborough, younger brother of film director Richard, agreed with some scientists' prediction that it was too late to reverse the impact of climate change.

"Whatever we do now the world is going to change. The question is can we slow down those changes or reduce them? One clutches at straws to try and find something in this bleak picture which is not deeply depressing."
