This is my husband, my son and a friend watching the news. A typical enough scene to stick in my mind. I heard a comedian joke once that his father watched the news as carefully as though the president was going to pick up the phone and ask his advice. That's my husband. He is European by birth - I have gathered over the years that political knowlege and discussion are more of a priority in the rest of the wolrd than in the states -- unless it is tabloid in nature of course.
