Quote of the Day

"I said if nobody else will do it, I'll do it. ... I'm 64, and I'm pretty well wiped out anyway. It's a way to go out in a blaze of glory. They said, 'You're not really qualified to do it.' I said, 'Why not?' You just have to hold the microphone and say, 'The bombs are falling.'"

-- beleaguered AOL Time Warner shareholder TED TURNER, speaking at a Manhattan media forum, saying he offered to fly to Baghdad to cover the war for CNN.
