What If You Could Change the Script?
Google News says that the news of Secretary Ridge's departure is only four hours old, but I see it's already airing on C-SPAN 1 tonight in a few minutes:
06:26 pm News Conference: Secretary of Homeland Security Resignation
Department of Homeland Security
Thomas Ridge , Department of Homeland Security
Now I'm imagining a story whose protagonist hacks into the C-SPAN site and discovers that, by altering the scheduled events listed there, he has the power to change the real world.
07:00 pm News Conference: Osama Bin Ladin Capture
Pentagon
Donald Rumsfeld, Department of Defense
08:30 News Conference: Mars Base One Dedication
Mars Base One
Lance Bass, NASA
Alas, it would probably devolve into a heap of cliches. The Twilight Zone is dead. And they've already made The Lathe of Heaven into a TV movie. Twice!
(Favorite joke from The Daily Show, speculating months ago about Ridge's eventual resignation: "Sources close to the Secretary say he wants to spend more time at home, scaring his family.")
