So tell me how come the corporate media
can tell us the number of people displaced in Georgia and report about journalists being shot at, but all now they have not given figures for Iraq.

Oh by the way Bush told Putin he's losing credibility. Well W you have long lost credibility so yet again Putin wins another round.

1. Here's An Irony...
The center of the fighting is the town of Gori...whose native son was Joseph Stalin. Isn't it interesting how we get all sorts of "information"...but our beloved corporate media doesn't dare say where they get those figures from. It was both sad and hillarious watching Shep get pwned by what he and his Faux propagandists thought would be a sympathetic 12-year old Georgian girl who instead thanked the Russians. Shep couldn't get to a break fast enough.

All week I've been replaying "Wag The Dog" in my head...all we need is to hear Willie Nelson singing "Old Shoe" and I'll believe it.

Cheers...

:hi:

2. That interview was fall down funny
:hi:
Sometimes they bite off more than they can chew.

CNN's latest headline - Obama the anti-christ? Did you ever imagine that a once reputable news channel could reach its nadir with such tasteless haste?

3. Sure...Clinton's Penis
I will never forget the titilation on the faces of the bobbleheads as they got their hands on the Starr report and couldn't find the selacious details fast enough...with the endless loop of Monica on the ropeline.

Maybe I may be dreaming, but I do sense a shift happening...the King ambush on Corsi the other night was refreshing...and powerful. Let's see if this is a momentary lapse of sense or something more.

Cheers...

4. I seen it coming when Ted Turner sold it
I remember reading way back soon after nixon's resigning that some think tank or some such shit decided that if they were to be sucessful in getting the neoCONs message out they would have to buy up the news organizations and they have done just that. Today I see we are in a bad way because of it too so I can be put down in the I seen it coming column
Peace
