A Lady's Ruminations

Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

The Most Trusted Name In News?

I was listening to Rush earlier and CNN, as usual, did the little news update at the hour. At the end, the CNN person said something about CNN, "the most trusted name in news."

What?

Anyone with a brain knows that Fox News constantly beats CNN and MSNBC to a pulp, day after day, night after night.

Look at these numbers, via Drudge:
