Pravda in NJ?
 
Man, they do *not* like Bush in New Jersey! I don't agree with the
actions, but wow... thanks for sharing!

Anybody remember when the images of "disappeared" leaders of the old USSR
were air-brushed from official photos?

Rabid Kerry Nuts! I like that. Can I use it? I think Rabid Bush Nuts
sounds more like something you'd get in 7/11 though.

As you may have noticed, NJ went from last week from being a blue state to
being a dead heat, which explains why Kerry started spending money on ads
in
the metropolitan area. However, there do seem to be some pretty rabid
Kerry
nuts there.

We have "Pravda" for the entire nation. It's called Fox "fair and
balanced" (How can they not choke when they say that?) "news". choke

Sigh, I guess I'm going to risk being sued. g

I'm licensing you to use that copyrighted expression for a period of one
day, but only in its original form. That is, if used it must read "Rabid
Kerry Nuts" and not "Rabid" [anything else] "Nuts."

Would you allow as how there may be a difference between the ways we should
treat government-directed information and the way we treat private news
organizations? Anyone who doesn't want to hear the side of the story Fox
provides has plenty of outlets of the opposite persuasion (though
increasingly they seem to be turning to Fox instead of the Dan Rathers and
Jayson Blairs).

Given the woeful state of learning in our schools, I'm amazed anyone would
be so blinded by ideology that he would want the name of the current
President kept a deep dark secret from the kids.


True enough, but of course there are some school board who are letting
in the theory "Intelligent Design," as opposed to evolution. Did we
solve this 140 years ago?

Not in the world outside the right and left coasts.


That's right. And the world in between is exactly the world that
BushCo taps into.

There are individual teachers who insist that their kids all pray...
or recite the pledge with the offensive and inaccurate "under God"
phrase... or like Jon sez, wanna teach creationism... and I'll just
bet there are more examples of that than there are of the type cited
originally. Abusus non tollit usum applies here. Conservatives are
desperately quick to point out any example they find of "Bush bashing"
and are willing to overlook the manifold evils promulgated by radical
right-wing ideologues. It's the mote and the beam, pal.

Once upon a time I was a teacher. We homeschool (unschool)our kids...

So you believe that some ignorant bumbkin who tries to "marry" his
sister is more qualified than you or I to decide the direction of the
country. Got it.

I'll be there are even some who insist on not removing Jefferson's "endowed
by their Creator" language from the Declaration of Independence. How
horrible. Those founding fathers were clearly a bunch of right-wing
religious zealots who can't be tolerated in this day and age.


I grew up saying "under God," and I don't find it offensive. It's a
tempest in a teapot. The real issue is that the Supremes are aging and
if Bush gets a chance he'll appoint more people like Thomas or Scalia
(who isn't all bad, since he claims group sex is good for the
country).

Jonathan, keep at it. You're continuing to prove my point.


Mr. Poodle. I have no trouble keeping it up. On the other hand, no, I
won't go there... The point is CLEARLY on the top of your head!
