I Feel For Cheney
I don’t want to go back to the past, mistakes can be made and only the Pope is infallible. And just as someone can be ‘serially’ correct in the past he is not bound to be correct all the time in the future. The same logic applies in inverse to Cheney. But your belief is misplaced as already the portions of the reports released have “undercut” ...

Re: Pathetic.
Yes, it's so wrong to deprecate your Sunday morning entertainment with a critical examination of the hero of the hour, a loss felt by 3.8 million viewers bonding over the depth of character and integrity that epitomize both television and politics in our age.

News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional
I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

Fark
Back in the 1985 Neil Postman warned of the dawn of this age of non-news in his book Amusing Ourselves To Death: Public Discourse In The Age of Show Business. It's still worth a read for its analysis of the impact of fark on America's ways of thinking.

Who "made" Fox News & Carl Cameron? News Flash: Not Rupert!
Never has big money been so stupid in the History of the World. I first noticed ''the Rupert Effect'' when I saw a greatly admired film, highly critical of modern Nation State governance in an abstract, predictive, and prescient way, titled, ''Brazil'' directed by British filmmaking genius, Terry Gilliam. The first time I saw the film, I enjoyed ...

The Best Political Team on Television
I don't watch much news on television, but I often watch ''Late Edition'' on Sunday, featuring Wolf Blitzer and the best.... I think he sometimes cites some award or other, but I thought it was for that particular show on CNN, not all of CNN. It is rather grating to hear his chant over and over. True, Blitzer is an upbeat fellow, no matter how ...
