Gannett Editor: Best-Ever Commencement Speech is One Calling Cheney 'Satan'

"Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters"

I do. Every moment of every day. If ever there were those who needed prayer to fend off the never ending vicious attacks from the enemy it is W and our Troops.

But I'm sure Mr. Rossie doesn't really believe that Mr. Cheney is Satan. Because that would mean that Mr. Rossi believes in God. And we all know what Ann Coulter has to say about that. Once Mr. Rossie's religiosity becomes known in liberal circles, he will be a pariah. Right.

Looks like the "War of Liberal Aggression" is creeping closer.

Here is a note about a true story from San Franfreako no less, from Tobin Smith. I suggest we all follow this lead. Neoliberalnot

Greetings,

The war in Iraq is touchy subject here in San Francisco, but, following Toby's suggestion, I just bought coffee for a couple of servicemen this morning. Then someone else came forward and insisted on buying them a chocolate croissant and muffin. To top it off, when we went to pay, the shop owner, a Iranian immigrant, smiled and refused payment for any of it. What a frog I had in my throat.

Thanks,
M. Farr

People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down.

The author of the "Satan" line must have been looking in the mirror.....

At the end of the Cretaceous Period, whole classes of animals, Dinosaurs we call them now, simply laid down and died. They left almost no decedents. In fact, the only descending relatives of the Dinosaurs that have survived, are birds. Gannett may be one of these corollary classes of the Dinosaur media, just what if any splinter to survive the end of the Leftist Media Monopoly Period is really all there is left to speculate on. Die Gannett, and leave us all in peace, as we no longer require your fraudulent, failed ideologically tainted services.

[Mr. Silverback]

Oh, this world would be a much nicer place if Satan were only as influential as Dick Cheney.

The mark of the 21st Century liberal is a puny imagination.

[Mr. Silverback]

I recognize Chery...who's the chick on the right?

[Mr. Silverback]

Looks like the "War of Liberal Aggression" is creeping closer.

That'll be a short war.

Oh, what a great story. I witnessed something similar about a year ago I was in Chinese restaurant and there were three National Guardsmen having dinner at a nearby table. When the Guardsmen asked for their check the restaurant owner said it was already paid by a couple who had just left. Everyone who heard what had happened just applauded. Everyone wanted to shake their hands and tell them thank you for your service and such. I know I had a lump in my throat. I hope this is happening all over this country. These young men and women deserve this and so much more. Thanks for sharing.
