Faux News

[andysocial]

I shouldn't be surprised that Fox News has Oliver North as a military correspondent, should I? I mean, with a White House that appointed Ollie's boss to head DARPA, why should having a convicted felon as a military expert on the news be a shock? Oh, sure, both convictions were overturned on appeal, but still - wouldn't it be a good idea to avoid hanging out with people who are proud of lying to Congress?

Ah, but there you go using logic...

The current White House, put in place by rigging an election, sees lying to Congress as a good thing. And since Faux News is basically an adjunct of the White House press secretary's office...

Election

[andysocial]

The election was run in accordance with the laws of the land. If you don't like the Electoral College, that's one thing. To say that they rigged the election beggars belief. There has been no proof of anything untoward in the 2000 election. Of course, I don't happen to like the current administration much (you could probably tell from previous posts here and on my blog, but beating the election horse just makes the non-partisan folks think Democrats are whiny brats.

Let's talk about other issues, like lying to the American people about pretexts leading up to war. Or, butchering the enforcement budget for the EPA and Forestry Service while claiming to be building a better environment. How about giving a big public sendoff to a tax cut which helps the rich a lot, the middle class a little, and the poor not one bit?

I'm thinking a bumper sticker reading, "Anybody But Bush in 2004" would be a big seller. :-)

I think the Florida election was what was rigged ... votes omitted, boxes lost, traffic jams that kept black voters away. That's where the fix came. Nader was a factor, but the Republican machine was running full steam ahead.

And all the rest is true, too. Everything he's done since then has been crooked.
