Hey, maybe 2nd A is right after all. The end may be nearer than we think.
Here we have another country, ostentiously supporting our war efforts, hell, they're in there on the ground with us, and there are dweebs like these people running around loose:
"The cancellation of the project came 24 hours after the first of some 14,000 letters from Guardian readers began arriving in Clark County. The missives led to widespread complaints about foreign interference in a US election."
Why can't we just shoot people like these, and put them out of their misery??

I'd have to agree with you Bogey. At least on TV, the "news" is typically "here is what candidate X said and here are some political pundits from both sides to spew their talking points."
I want a news channel to say "here is what candidate X said and here is what our research has found with regards to the topic." www.factcheck.org has some great stuff that is critical of both sides and I have never heard on the news. Why can't the news do that?

I'm not just humoring you, understand, but even our homegrown liberal leftists aren't this bad:ylexot said:If you think that's bad, read this one from the Guardian:
Dumb show
Make sure you read the last paragraph
"On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"
With folks like these, who, in fact is the enemy?

Sorry to double post, but last night, Bill O'Reilly branded Al Jahzeera, the news broadcast network from Qatar a terrorist supporting entity.
According to GWs' thinking, these folks have go to go: I mean glass seashores, the sooner the better!
There's not a lot of wiggle room here, so TORCH 'EM!! BE DONE WITH IT!!

I don't see Al Jahzeera as a terrorist-supporting entity. They are a news organization, and their job is to report all sides of a story... even the sides we disagree with. I think O'Reilly should have a better understanding of what "fair and balanced" is all about.

Bru, what I got out of it was that this news organization has been airing uncensored beheading of folks who've been kidnapped by the terrorists, plus they've been showing the tape of that Aid worker, a naturalised British/Middle Eastern woman, over and over, ad nauseum, begging for both her her life, and - for England to remove their troops from the the Iraqi conflict.Bruzilla said:
They're giving aid and comfort to the terrorists, when the do that. JMHO

I have just one question and a short tirade. First the question, who here has heard about the two presidential candidates who where arrested trying to get into the St. Louis debate? I didn't until I was looking up some information on the libertarian party. That is total bull****! That should be front page news all over the country. I don't care that the will probably only pull 2% of the vote between them they are on the damn ballot.. Let them be heard. This kind of media discrimination is rediculious and it makes me ashamed to be american sometimes....:<

The final sentence of a column in The Guide on Saturday caused offence to some readers. The Guardian associates itself with the following statement from the writer.Bogart said:
"Charlie Brooker apologises for any offence caused by his comments relating to President Bush in his TV column, Screen Burn. The views expressed in this column are not those of the Guardian. Although flippant and tasteless, his closing comments were intended as an ironic joke, not as a call to action - an intention he believed regular readers of his humorous column would understand. He deplores violence of any kind."
I do not read Al Jahzeera, but I have a distinct impression that they are not "fair and balanced". I would bet that O'Reilly offered to have a representative from Al Jahzeera on the show and they refused. Sometime I think you are OK. Sometimes I really wonder about you. Are you schizophrenic?Bruzilla said:

It is probably closer to being mainstream Muslim than the Guardian is to being mainstream UK.
The Gaurdian is very mainstream UK. Europeans don't wont any part of this war. We American's should become less of a police state and start investing in American's by providing insurance, decent housing for the poor, and fair wages for all American's. Instead we like to spend and waste our tax dollars fighting wars with people because they don't agree with us. Sorry people, but we need to start worrying about the homefront before we start telling other country's that they're wrong and that they need to change when we can't even get our own shi# straight.
KERRY, A DECORATED WAR HERO, FATHER, HUSBAND, AND NOW YOUR PRESIDENT. Get used to hearing that last bit.

Zooom! There goes that gnat again!! I have to figure out a way to trap him and rid my monitor of this insignificant little bother.
It's not that big a deal, I know, it's just tiresome. Wheeeou! Did I mention it stinks to high heaven? I'm not sure what it thrives on, but it ain't healthy!

Yeah, because the US is sooooo much more messed up than Iraq. That Saddam Hussein - he's Ghandi compared to George Bush.UrbanPancake said:
