Fox .... Great Comedy & Fiction ... Simpsons & Ollie North.
Fox Network; The Simpsons
Brilliant
Marge sells drugs, Bart gets sent to an upward bound camp for wayward
kids, and Homer says off camera, "Stupid horse this is a deer crossing."
as he picks up bart w/ blood on the windshield and takes him to Vegas.

Fox News; Ollie North
100 % Fiction.
Iraqis turning out to vote for their democracy, a unit of Americans & Iraqi
soldiers stand guard as "freedom grows" and an Iraqi officer says, "Everybody
wants to vote and do their part."

I watched all the Simpsons ...... Ollie "The Felon" North I skipped after about
2 minutes. Where the hell does Fox get off putting such 1/2 truths and
bald faced lies on the air? I swear they could make Joseph Goebbels blush.

3. "God And Country"...
Edited on Sun Jan-29-06 09:49 PM by Secular Agent Man
I think the Canadian band Blue Rodeo pretty much summed up North in their song "God and Country". They wrote it around the time of the Iran-Contra fiasco. If I'm not mistaken, it came about as a result of his flag-wrapped performance before Congress.


Forever lost in comparisons
Between you and the better man
Yea you're always so quick
To take a bow
I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy
And your postcard sincerity
Don't you ever get tired
Of being yourself

It's getting so hard to find you
As you fade into your world of reprisal
As you slip into the comfort
Of your denial
Your patriotic smile
Your go down in style

And you say that you're not to blame
That you're proud of what you did
And you'd do it again
All in the name of God and country
But that's too bad about the little snag
'Cause getting caught is such a drag
Even in the name of God and country

Yea you're all the same to me
You're just trying to make points on national TV
Yea you try to make points for God
God and country
You call this justice
I call this self-service

And I hope that I never find
What you call good conscience
Or peace of mind
As another man dies for God and country
'Cause I'm sure while you're sitting there talking
That the bombs are falling
All in the name
All in the name
All in the name of God and country
