Why is Jodi Arias even mentioned? Why bother covering her trial at all? It's because she's cute. No other reason at all.
Lol @ wut, i was wondering that yesterday when she was mentioned. Ive never heard of her before then. And if cnn is going to start listing all murder trials theyre going to need more space!
good morning.
Chuck Hagel's nomination is the one to watch. That would determine how independent of foreign influence & lobbies is our country.
