C’mon…. Dubya isn’t that articulate, and Cheney flies on Air Force Two. How many more of these leeches get to fly first class?

For years, the English footballer (soccer player) Graham Le Seux was rumored to be gay. I was interested because he was really cute and so I was at a Chelsea v. Manchester United match and I asked the bloke sitting next to me about the rumors (Le Seux played for Chelsea then). He went on and on about what a shirtlifter he was, what a bumboy etc. etc. I asked him “Wow, he got caught with his pants down in Hampstead Heath, eh?”. “Nah, the poof reads The Guardian”. I was so stunned I couldn’t say anything in reply.

Needless to say, I read the online Guardian every day.

Hhateful, insidious “He-said/She-said Journalism�. In the interest of “balance� and a desire not to offend any customers or potential customers

This drives me nuts because of two things I see all the time in the MSM.

One concerns stories about gay & lesbians. It doesn’t matter what the story about us is, the MSM always always always has a preacher or wingnut comment. I mean, I’ve seen stories about teh geighs and their cars have that in there. “I would hope that local dealerships don’t advertise within the homosexual community as that would encourage it etc. etc.” Unreal.

The opposite side of the coin is the total free pass given to religion. There were two articles in the last few months in the Los Angeles Times (one on some scrolls that were found and a truly scary one about Rapturists trying to breed red cows) and there wasn’t one sentence of dissent. Not one voice saying “That’s nice, but there’s no credible evidence Jesus ever existed, so these scrolls are kind of pointless, really” not one “Um, these people breeding red cows are completely insane”. It’s just a given that the Bible is true and that the people that read it are all completely sane.

thanks for the Greg Sargent link Jay B. it really is shocking to read his fake article.

The fact is that the Muslimalist Nazimunists’ attempt to kill every single person on the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard is further proof that we need to bomb Iran NOW. Also, Lebanon, cause, you know, why not?

Umm, Dean and Micheal Moore dragging the party to the left. No plan for terror. Umm… no… lemon fresh scent?

Bush will win re-election in 08, because the American people know only he has the Ruby Key with witch to unlock the Secret Door of Safety on level 13, behind the Troll under the bridge, where you get the Sheild of False Security.

Man. I’m pretty non-confrontational, and even I want to punch this twit in the face with a brick.

Kids run to the tub!

Now, that’s honest journalism!

The sad part is that people like you and me, who are aware of this condition and willing to do extra work to get actual information, are in many cases either unable to do so or at least unable to unambiguously identify it when we see it. Throughout the day I read MSNBC, al Jazeera, AFP, Xinhua, Deutsche Welle, Reuters, BBC, Informed Comment, Antiwar.com and Think Progress. And I’m still starved for data and frequently at a loss to understand what’s true and what’s not and what none of them are willing to tell me. And who knows when/if/how it will get better. It’s a profit driven world that puts the press in the control of the marketeers and the bean counters, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, except for the worse…

Some Really Scary Shit that Republicans Did Nothing to Prevent Play in Political Arena

By ADAM NAGOURNEY

Republicans seized on some really scary shit that was about to go down and that Republicans did nothing to do prevent yesterday to bolster a White House campaign to turn scary shit that other countries take care of to their advantage this fall, arguing that the nation needs tough Republican policies to protect Americans from scary-ass motherfucking shit that Republican policies did nothing to prevent.

[snip]

A senior White House official on Air Force One, speaking on the condition of anonymity, dismissed the notion that there was anything wrong with these kinds of issues being mixed up in a political campaign.

“Boo!,� this official said. “Monsters! Run! Hide!�

I think you’re one of those straight-arrow concern types, but maybe this one will strike you. Compare. Contrast.

Figure it out.

Considering the destruction US policies have caused in Iraq and the ME in general, I’d be surprised if someone wasn’t plotting something. But this just smacks of a bad suspense plot concocted by James Bond-obssessed kids. With the Bush admin practially laying out a welcome mat for terrorists at our ports and nuke, chem an water plants, why concoct some kind of Coke-and-Menthos scheme?

The fact is, the Democrats can’t be trusted to protect our country by making our teammates in the War on Terror better, through the example of hustle and grit.

The fact is, George W. Bush singlehandedly foiled this terrorist plot by using his magic “resolve” and “moral clarity” powers to make British investigators (who normally don’t care about preventing terrorist plots) work harder and longer at their jobs.

The fact is, Democrats would have used taxpayer dollars to send those same British investigators on Caribbean cruises with lots of champagne to make them drunk and forgetful of their duties, because Democrats hate America and will do everything in their power to blow up airplanes full of Americans.

And the fact is, the American public knows this and that’s why all of us except the 49 percent lunatic fringe voted for George W. Bush to be the boss of us.

There is a real chance of an explosion or noxious fumes.

Just wanting to know.
