Yeah, and I read that last night and it is exactly right. But what difference will it make?
(crickets)
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Media doesn't matter.

Speaking of constitution and selective use for the liberal agenda, you people want the right of free speech on public property, but not the right to practice religion on public property. You ignore that part of the Bill of Rights.
Hey, reich-tard, there is no right to practice *a single* religion on public property. All or nothing, just like free speech.

Although the public square exists primarily for the type of communication essential to the furtherance of democracy, you're welcome to use it to rant about your sky fairy of choice, as long as you don't expect the government to force me to listen, and as long as you don't attempt to prevent others from ranting about their own delusions.
However, if you expect a free invitation to air your little sci-fi fantasies at a school assembly or a government meeting that I am obliged to attend, you're going to get about as warm a reception as the guy who pees in the punch bowl. Worse, in fact, since I don't have to drink the punch.

That post was fantastic!!
He's coined a new phrase, too:
It takes a special kind of dishonesty to falsely describe someone's previous comments in order to accuse them of lying and breaking their word. There should be a word for that kind of behavior. In light of Russert's question to Clinton last fall and to Obama this week, perhaps it should be called "pulling a Russert."

As one Cleveland resident noted, "We've got the mortgage industry's toxic waste scattered all over this city, but Mr. Blue Collar Buffalo and Cleveland Marshall Guy Russert couldn't be bothered with a question about it.
Of course not--the mere mention of the mortgage crisis makes Republicans look bad, and Timmy couldn't figure out a way to swift-boat Obama over it.

People have every right to practice religion on government property. Governments, or those standing for them, do not. The distinction is crucial.
It's right there in the First Amendment to the US Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
You could look it up.

JR,
The Halifax Daily News limped along until last month, when Transcon killed it. Actually, while the paper itself was bleeding money, the old "Daily News" business itself--the printing press, the associated publications-- was profitable. It takes a certain perversity to reduce it to its component parts...

Russert gave no indication of why Obama was uniquely qualified or required to comment on Belafonte's comments.
It's a mystery why Timmeh might think that.
(The only other time Russert has ever asked anyone about any comments made by Harry Belafonte, according to Nexis 2003, when Russert asked then-Secretary of State Colin Powell about comments Belafonte made about U.S. actions toward Cuba.)
Just a mystery.

Here's a twofer: Russert could ask Obama to comment on Stokely Carmichael's notorious statement that the position of women in the movement is prone.
If that didn't work, Russert could always bring up Marcus Garvey. He probably will.
A casual observer could just see the merest hint of a pattern here...

Russert, who calls himself a journalist, has also said that when he talks to a source, it's presumed to be off the record.
That's sort of like a candidate for tenure in a physics department saying, 'Y'know, Velikovsky had some good points.'

Light is made of photons, which have characteristics of both particles and waves.
Please await Dr Derbes for further enlightenment. (I got out of my quantum mechanics class with a B- and my life).
