If you get the chance
Watch Lewis Black's special on HBO. Sure he tweaks the Dem's a little, and they do deserve it, but he nails so much that it is yet another sad example of comedians and satirists saying and yelling about what the self proclaimed pundits and journalists should be writing and talking about.....

After that last few years, I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for the main stream press.....

And it isn't ideological. It's incompetence and greed....

It's about selling the little ethical standing that journalists had accumulated since the days of Murrow and Cronkite for a quarter share of ratings....

It's about media consolidation and the general sense of condescension emanating from New York, Washington and Atlanta......

It's about the net becoming more viable than the print or the broadcast media....

It's about us, and our responsibility to spread the word.....

1. Delusional ...

Whenever I hear someone say what a great leader George Bush is, I have to wonder, what kind of drug could make one so delusional ...

Good stuff. :-)

3. Bush is a fascist dictator
Don't blame me when he cremates you and your family alive, castrates the gays en masse, and explicitly turns the lower classes into military-dominated slave prison labor.
