I'd Rather Not
Seems Old Dan has
finally gotten the boot at CBS....
CBS executives have decided there is no future role at the network for Dan Rather, making it certain that the man who sat in the anchor chair for 24 years will depart by this fall.

Spin it!
Two headlines, same story:
1) "Bush May Meet Vow To Halve The Deficit Three Years Early" --
Investors Business Daily2) "Bush Deficit Reduction Plan Falls Off-Schedule." --
Guess who (acc. to
Insty, but I can't find the headline anywhere on their site anymore)

Too bad it's because of rising revenue and not reduced spending... *sigh*, I'm guessing that they aren't going to learn their lesson.

The problem with tax cuts, apparently, is that they reduce the perceived cost of govenerment - so rather than "starving the beast", as small-government economists had hoped, and forcing reduced spending, tax cuts have caused the opposite - lots of borrowing and spending instead of taxing and spending. According
to this article, the equilibrium point is around 19% of GDP...

Actually, since the Kennedy tax cut in the early 60s, everytime taxes have been cut, revenue has increased. The problem is that spending has increased at a faster rate, creating the deficits. If we were to cut taxes and freeze spending (or just limit increases to the rate of inflation) we would see large surpluses. Which would then justify new spending or more tax cuts, or both.

That's longer than a bad TV show....
According to
news reports, Zarqawi lived
52 minutes after the bombing.
So I'm wondering, what were the commercials like? And what took him so long to croak?

Makes you wonder if they read their own blog
The ABC News' blog
The Blotter has a very interesting piece on
the man who turned in Zarqawi... And they're getting slammed by the readers for it. 280 comments and counting.
This is EXACTLY why your ratings are going down, you opportunistic slugs.

I was going to add my two cents over at ABC, but it seems the rest of the country has already done it for me! Oh well, just another excuse to continue to ignore the msm.

Potential good news....BREAKING
According to ABC news, who is the ONLY one on the story right now....
Zarqawi is TOAST.
Special Report interrupted Nightline, not even on the web page yet
Update: Acc. to Technorati, I am indeed the first to report this. I even beat Kos by 10 minutes! Holy Crap!

Glad you posted -- because, I swear I thought I was hallucinating and just waiting to hear, "live from New York, it's Saturday Night."
why would any network jump to repeatedly confirm the death of a character who has been "falsely" reported dead so many times already?

I linked over to your site on this news, but unfortunately, the trackback isn't going through. Good job throwing this out there...looks like the news world is finally starting to wake up!

Good thing that the monster in the garb of man called, Al Zarqavi has been liquidated. Peace to all those innocent people who got killed by this devil ! Justice has indeed been done.
At the same time, Bush who is heard harping about 'Justice' so often must also await justice for his own wrong doings ! Strange there are guys who can speak about justice without a speck of shame or introspection of their own injustices and crassly ruthless acts!
America's hypocrisy and insatiable greed are unbelievable . Its war on global terror is also a farce. The very fact that it has a shady Pakistani dictator and a well known abettor of terrorism in India, named Pervez Musharraf as his chief ally! Such strange behaviour and hypocrisy is bound to boomerang as it did in the past whensoever the US played such games.
Terrorism won't end till a real and a conclusive war is fought against it. For this the US has to come clean and stop playing shady games in the world. Sample this, before 9/11 America was known to have openly armed, financed several terror organisations in the world for its own self-seeking ends and it never shed a tear for the innocent who died due to that. How could it expect that the world would wail over the death of poor 9/11 victims? America's image as that of a highly utilitarian, unscruplous country only interested in financial/ political gains than humanity or human values must undergo a conscious change! Then alone terrorism can be dealt a united and concerted death blow for ever.
You can't befriend a muslim terrorist here (as in Pakistan) and chase another in Iraq or Afhganistan. They all are the same and cannot be trusted or encouraged. Trounce them all for your own good. Learn before it is too late!

Nahuatl is the language of nature...
So says
this piece of what George Moneo has so rightly termed "
Bovine Excrement". It's worth the 2 minutes out of your life to laugh and shake your head at the self-important idiocy that passes for education around here. Keep in mind that this POS had to get a charter from the county, so somebody actually bought into this.....
Quick! The Smug cloud is descending over Los Angeles! Oh no!
On a related note, Cobb has some interesting thoughts on immigration and the Latino community....
