on edit: It really is NOT funny. It's pathetic, sad, shitty, and every other adjective I can think of, but not funny. Not to diss your thread. You gotta laugh or take a hostage.....

8. Yeh, it is
Yes, It is also pathetic & frightening that we lost our adjective media. It amazes me that they call themselves journalists.

5. I was just looking at that.
I clicked on the story about Goss and, apparently, they are trying to make it sound as though his work with the CIA is all done. The agency has "improved" according to him so he is simply moving on. Uh huh.

6. Welcome to the world of "Fair and Balanced" reporting.
It doesn't necessarily matter if the news is...well...NEWS. Just as long as they can scrape together a few Democrat scandals to water down the Republican ones....

12. I hate to say this but intoxicated Kennedys in cars is a sensational story
I agree Goss is more important, will have a bigger impact on the affairs of the nation. But when Ted Kennedy's son crashes his car, all our minds will turn to the same unmentioned topic.
