I find it absolutely amazin that David Duke, of whom no one has heard from in something like 25 years is suddenly a “news” item.

Exactly. This is exactly how the Noise Machine works. So instead of talking about policy or philosophy the press will beat this drum for the next week and a half.

And flood Free Republic with fluff to displace any actual information...

Of course, the sweet fresh air will come pouring back into Free Republic early Wednesday morning, after a VERY quiet night shift... :)
