Thanks! I will...;)

Those are all different news sources, and vastly different titles. It's reasonable to expect people to search for the identical story having been posted, but, IMHO, I prefer to see the story from multiple sources; I get more information that way. I realize some people disagree on this matter, but I don't think you can get on the poster for not searching. I personally only search for the exact title. If it hasn't been posted, it hasn't been posted.

I've seen individual FReepers complain about this, but never an Admin Mod.

While you are correct that the base article has been posted five times (including this post), each post was from a different source.

While World Net Daily, Fox, and some local paper may be news to us here at FR. Until it makes CNN and the NYT, it is not "news" to the MSM.

The story making CNN's on-line news is a significant step. If the article makes the NYT then it is gospel to the MSM.

While the DEM's and the MSM's (I know, redundant) may think this is an issue they can use against GWB, they fail to realize that he is not running for office on 2006. What the house (which has tried) and the senate (which has not) do is more important.

Dang! You are dedicated! Wish I had the time that
you apparently have to search and research all of this,
but I'm just too damned busy recovering from Katrina.

Get a friggin life!
