Saturday I left to come home to NY to check on my parents. On my connection from ATL to Laguardia, they offered $2 headsets to watch TV. I declined because I'd just purchased new ear phones and they worked just as well.
Floating through the options on the screen, I was surprised to find that it cost $2 to watch an HBO show on Delta Airlines. Then when I switched to movie options, it was $6 to watch 'First Sunday' with Ice Cube and Katt Williams. You're subjected to tons of commercials on airplane TV. What's up with paying for it too? I was shocked and appalled but I guess it's a sign of the times.
The medical student next to me, in the middle seat, informed me ESPN was free. I discovered so was CNN, but buy the time I realized that Hillary Clinton's "concession speech" speech was over so I just watched analysis by Wolfe Blitzer and Candy Crowley (who I met at the Jackson Evers International aiport a few years ago while she was covering a civil rights cold case. She was very nice and approachable). It was amazing to see Hillary embrace Barack's slogan: "Yes we can" and point out her accomplishments and history-makingness (I know that's not a word, but it fits).
You can watch her speech and plenty of analysis: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/politics
Then CNN ran a special report "Something's happening here" 1968-2008 paralelling the political climate during both elections along with RFK to Obama's race, war time, unpopular president in office.
