But nobody asked us. Instead, we asked you the following: "What person or event that was in the news during 2004 do you wish disappears from the headlines during 2005?" Your answers follow. After reading through them, please take a moment to answer our new question. Advertisement Military casualty reports from Iraq. We need our troops to get out of there and come home. — Robert M., Rogue River The constant reiteration of negative stories concerning activities in Iraq. — Jim H., White City Well, Scott Peterson’s trial is over. We haven’t heard much from John Kerry and the recount thing isn’t really reported on. I guess that just leaves the Iraq war. — S. Ryan, Cyberspace I would like to not hear the Democrats whine about the election. If Kerry would have won, they wouldn’t still be complaining. God and the people have spoken — accept it and back the president. We are all Americans. — J.L.D., Central Point The Laci Peterson murder. A horrible, tragic event that received too much coverage. — A. Lyons, Talent I wish to never hear about "homeland security" again. This is the biggest boondoggle in the history of the U.S. The millions of dollars spent on this could better spent on helping the homeless, aging folks that have no medical insurance and schools. — Vicki, Cyberspace George W. Bush. — Richard D., Central Point This Week’s Question Well, the weather outside is frightful, which is all the better since we want to stay inside with a good book, anyway. But that won’t take the chill off. So, we’re looking for some ideas on the best way to make our stomach, and the rest of us, warm. We ask: "What’s the best comfort food for staying warm during cold, wet winter weather?" Please keep your answers brief and on the issue at hand.
