If a tree falls in the forest...
Will the right wing immediately trott out the roll call of ex-felons and think tank pundits to claim that there is no tree? Will they claim that the tree has claims to Al-Qaeda? Will they then say that the tree has ties to Iran?

Pat "I hate Jews" Buchanon makes absurd comments on Softball, and no one calls him a liar? Where does this end? What lie is too big to get away with? Is there one?

When does this nightmare end? When does someone finally get in front of the cameras and scream "bullshit!"? Or will no networks carry it?

Man Im pissed off today.

1. You said,
"When does someone finally get in front of the cameras and scream "bullshit! Or will no networks carry it?"

You've got it. No networks will carry it. Occasionally, you will see what some Democrats are trying to do on C-SPAN, but for the most part these efforts go unreported.

3. First they'll work to discredit the tree:
What the hell was that tree doing in the forest in the first place. If environmental leftist whackos would let us cut down all the trees, then there wouldn't be any chance of falling trees now would there?

4. I listened to Democracy Now's second part of their year end
roundup and I shed tears.

Then I renewed my pledge to work tirelessly to do everything I can to assist in bringing this administration down.

5. I have not been this disheartened...
in a long time. Perhaps the holidays put some extra oomph into the depressing outlook that I can't seem to escape. It used to be the voices of the talking heads that grated against my nerves. Now just a whiff of tortured double-speak in print is enough to set me off. It's getting much harder to witness this slow motion catastrophe.
