What the puck?

[Oilwellian]

We were watching yesterday's debut episode of CNN's "The Situation Room" this afternoon, and we couldn't help but notice that Wolf and Co. missed the real story. CNN took us inside what Blitzer dubbed a "high tech, top secret command center," the Northern Command in Colorado, which works to keep America safe from terrorists. As the cameraman gave us a shot of the command center, correspondent Kyra Phillips explained how the people there are "all war planners. They're always preparing for war."

Well, maybe not always, Kyra.

Because while Homeland Security is important, it really can't compete with America's fourth most popular spectator sport.

2. They got this one wrong...

I saw it it, it was a sports update not a hockey game, you could see the two anchors and then it cut to the hockey.

3. NORAD

means Canadians are present.

4. it's not even hockey season yet

poster #2 is right

[Maple]

6. Lots of it on TV

as we will be back to it this winter after that strike.

8. right, but it's not a "hockey game"

it's probably a report about some signing as part of another program ... very easily could be SportsCenter

[jim3775]

9. Or it could be a news channel doing a sports update. n/t

[Maple]

10. And are they focussing on war & defense?

Or are they watching Sportscenter?

11. as jim said...

it could very easily also be a news channel, perhaps CNN Headline News actually, as I believe they do a sports update toward the end of each half-hour

[Maple]

14. Or not

Point is...it ain't focussing on homeland security.

Other point is....go back in the middle of winter, and you'll see hockey games being played.

Good shot.

5. CNN needs to give it up...

the dream of ever being a respected news source. If this pic is for real, the pucking joke is on us.

7. Reminds me of 'Fargo'. Jerry Lundegaard wandering into his

colleague's office. "Got any Gophers tickets for this weekend?"

12. good eye!

haven't you heard -they have to keep an eye on those those damn FRENCH Canadian hockey players! They hate us Americans for our freedom and our total lack of silent consonants at the end of our names!

13. They were watching the stadium to make sure it wasn't being blown up?

Never know when terra will strike!
