DRUDGE THE MP3 GEEK PSEUDO-DEBATE STRATEGY THINK FAST "If you have to appear in court, it's best to leave your drug paraphernalia at home. Unfortunately a Carlsbad, New Mexico, teen forgot this rule of thumb when he appeared in court for a traffic citation and accidentally dropped a marijuana joint in the courtroom. Robin Loftin, 18, was in court Tuesday on charges of driving with a suspended license and failure to renew his vehicle registration. After Judge Walter Parr entered the room, Loftin removed his hat and the marijuana fell from his hat onto the floor. The teen was charged with contempt of court and sentenced to two days in jail for taking the illegal substance into a magistrate courtroom." [Wired News] {Ah, first of all, dudes, a joint is not paraphernalia, its like actual drugs, man. And two days in jail for possession of a joint in a courtroom is a pretty good deal, y'know?}
RIGHT-WING WHINER Poor Sean Hannity...Sean Hannity, a radio talk-show host and Fox News whiner, has a one-rut mind. Every criticism or dissent, no matter what the subject, the topic or the source, is a left-wing attack against his hero, George W. Bush. [Reese] {I don't have any smart remark on this. I just hate Hannity and love to publish derogatory comments about him.}
JUST LIKE THE WING-CLIPPED DOVES...
"Bottom line, this tracks with the ongoing Rummy v. Powell, Hawks v. Doves, etc. etc. editorial thread Hardball has been reporting since 9/11...My big question, did someone in the administration give Gingrich the green light for this speech? Guys like Gingrich don't come out of nowhere with these types of pronouncements...... "State-Defense Policy Rivalry Intensifying...In the wake of military victory in Iraq, the State and Defense departments are skirmishing almost daily for control over policy toward North Korea and the Middle East, U.S. officials said Monday. (The Washington Post)" [Hardball Newsletter] {This could all be another farce designed by the administration to keep the Lefties believing that they have The Great Black Hope within the doors of power. They gear up a "debate," as if there's a power struggle going on, and it keeps the peasants from rebelling. It's the same thing they did earlier this year before Powell "converted" to the wartime strategy.}
CALL TO DISARMS "Seeking to win international support for a growing campaign to disarm Syria, Colin Powell, the U.S. Secretary of State, called yesterday for all nations in the Middle East to rid themselves of weapons of mass destruction." (National Post) {Does that include Israel too? They're in the Middle East}
FCC TO RESTRICT DIVERSITY "The Federal Communications Commission is overhauling decades-old rules that restrict the media industry, including one that bans common ownership of newspapers and either a radio or television station in a single market." [Wired News] {Yeah. So that conservative media owners, while accusing the media (themselves; projection) of a dubious liberal bias, can further control local markets with their bland and ubiquitous monocultural pap.} |
