Good night though, my eyes need rest, too much strong sun light today!
You'd be mad as hell too if you discovered you weren't as bright and clever as you always thought you were.
"Good night though, my eyes need rest, too much strong sun light today!"
Night night. Sleep tight and don't let some lib bug get ya.
2AM, I can't see straight. I must be nuts.
"I got out today....went for a decent drive thru the hills and then back down to the beach ."
Must be nice. I'm living in a dark basement. My aunt calls it the pit. Ha ha! If I go outside I might get knocked over by the sun beams. I'm losing it.

"CBS and Dan Rather as gullible victims of a crude fraud"
Gullible? To be gullible means to already believe something in the first place, to want to believe it. It's a quality which doesn't fit the journalistic ideal. Gee, I wonder how someone at the pinnacle of the news business could have risen so high?
Chris Muir's current one is apropos:

The strength of the blogosphere is in mobilizing opinion that isn't shaped by or in agreement with the MSM, as the MSM is irreparably partisan. If Rush (for just one example) replaced Peter Jennings, that would be called controversial; while critiques of, say, Dan Rather as a partisan shill, are dismissed as right winger.
Among the mistakes of the left is in seeing politics in stark terms, but that's a function of their hunger for a single party state.
Another mistake is in their belief that everyone worth worrying about agrees with them, and that those who don't need to be repressed because they're repressive. :')
Still another is their belief that, to build a more tolerant society, we need zero tolerance policies about lots of things.
One thing to keep in mind is, democracy and concensus are not the same thing. When the concensus is dictatorship, the people are ruled by a dictator.
The Weekly Standard is not Hewitt's blog.

However, the number of readers dwindles with each passing year. That's the point - we'll never eliminate the MSM. But we bring them down a few notches with each passing year.
The lefties are mired in conspiracy swamps far more treacherous than those the right found themselves in during the Clinton years. Our use of the internet has matured to where we use it as a tool to research, vet claims and present factual analysis. The left uses the net to promote their latest conspiracy theory or trumpet their hero du jour such as Cindy Sheehan - which we can demolish with a few minutes of research, leaving them to sputter impotently about the right-wing attack machine - and the swing voters to wonder about the mental state of someone who considers facts to be a right-wing attack.
It's really not even a fair fight. Not that I'm complaining.
