7 to 1 odds that this 'un doesn't garner one tenth the responses at AK, and they call us crazy mofo's over here?

Ho hum, that "glam" photo was everywhere in every form of media right after that little piece of sub human excrement was caught. I didn't hear any wailing and chest beating then. Methinks it is exactly a pissing contest over Rolling Stone's political activism whilst skirting the rules at AK.

They should've launched the boat he was hiding in right into Boston harbor, before filling it full of holes. I would've liked to have donated a few jerrycans full of hi test first.

I guess I had better turn in my love beads and my rose colored granny glasses...

Another example of our superficial priorities, I suppose. Would it be acceptable if he had greasy hair, a crooked nose and warts? I expect that the story will make for interesting reading.

Not particularly. Kind of a puff piece, imo.

Oh well. fortunately, I just got my first issue of my new subscription to the New Yorker. I suppose it will keep me occupied while I go through the water-torture of prepping tomorrow for a colonoscopy.

Take the full anasthesia is what I've been told. Good for you, I'm still a chicken when it comes to that one. I guess it's time at 56...

Nopolyps, nopolyps, nopolyps is the mantra.

The prep is a good way to lose 5 lbs in about 24 hours.....just make sure you don't have to poop on the way to the hospital.

Yeah there seems to be this trend of right wing types over there pushing the envelope but then they won't come over here and argue with us out in the open. And I really can't stand this sort of trend of well let's just ignore the Boston bombing (Zimmerman trial, Sandy Hook, Columbine, fill in the blank) because it is media driven. If we do not talk about it it never happened.

That is a cop out. They do not want to talk about the bad things that have happened recently in America.
Translation: It did not happen to me or my family so I do not care. I have seen that sentiment over here too.

And I really hate this idea of since I do not agree with you YOUR sources or newspaper or tv station you get your information from is not valid. I do not want to hear some person tell me the BBC is a bad news source. That is just utter bullshit.
