Dan Rather, the CBS anchor who is well past his sell-by date, was verging on losing it in the early morning hours of November 3. Ed Bradley had carried out a mathematical calculation that showed that George W. Bush needed only to obtain 15 per cent of Ohios absentee and provisional ballots to win the state and the presidency. A visibly upset Rather then came out with one of his famous Danisms--just because a chicken has wings, doesnt mean it can fly.
In a poignant comment, Bradley defended himself by saying that he wasnt making the math up--the figures came from Republicans in Ohio. This is what the mainstream media has degenerated into--a journalist forced to admit that hes reporting something and not making it up.
The Dan just couldnt bring himself to consider the possibility that George W. Bush could win Ohio and a second term. And when Rather next called upon Bradley, he introduced him as Ed Bradley who is not a mathematics professor. Bradley then piped up that he did in fact teach math at one point in his life.

Any media that has potential of power over the knowledge fed to the public, it becomes a source of political power.
The advertisors regulate that media, and most of them are only interested in PROFIT. The MEDIA is only interested in PROFIT. The politicians that BRIBE and CAJOL the media, are only interested in PROFIT.
The biggest organization with only PROFIT in mind is ORGANIZED CRIME.
The terrorists are just another wing of ORGANIZED CRIME.
It's all a big circle.
They want it all. They didn't like President Bush eliminating their access to power and money. They didn't like President Bush rooting out corruption in government. They didn't like President Bush interfering in their takeover of Israel, England, France, Germany or any other darn place.
They just need to start with a little altitude...they do have a glide ratio...some folks even bet on that...

I have a split screen TV. So I had Fox on one side and was flipping channels on the other. As soon as Fox called Ohio, I flipped to CBS for the meltdown. And as we all know, I was not let down :) Thanks for the fun evening, Dan.
