There was a time,

that there was a clear distinction between news, such as ABC, NBC, CBS, etc., and political programming. There was also CNN, as we all watched the first gulf war, who became the 'go to' news network, on an international basis. THEN, out of nowhere, came a 'bought and paid for' network, from the Repub party, with Rupert Murdoch money, and a whole different slant on 'the news'. TV news has never been the same. Instead of just reporting the facts, it has been 'politicized', with a slant, and those who don't have the time or inclination to compare, have been given an alternative to reality. Once you agree, philosophically, to get your news, from your political party, it's over. There has never been political money 'better spent', than to create an alternative to real news. Once you can convince the sheep, NOT to believe the 90% of real news out there, you have won the war, and can replace with it with FOXNews, instead. Repeat a lie, often enough, and it becomes truth, for the 'sound bite' masses. Sad, but true. Money can buy public opinion, and the sheep eat it up. It just makes me SICK, to see what has happened to 'news', in America.

Unfortunately that is the way it goes in politics, religion, art, media....the list goes on. Is there right and wrong, or is it all a shade of gray?
"Fair & Balanced" states FoxNews, but to whom? Only to those who honestly believe the vemon they spew.
Buy as much "truth" as you want. Whitewash it, camouflage it, tie it in a pretty ribbon. It will be Bolvine Defecation, none the less.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
