There was a post on Lucianne.Com about how Newsbusters said Bret Baier Rips Howard Dean for Saying Chris Wallace Lied About Sherrod Coverage,
This is outrageous.
Now, if I can only get someone to cite this post, then we can add yet ANOTHER layer of meta-coverage to this story!

This was not written for chiefs. (general consternation) Hear me! Hear this! Among my people, we carry many such words as this from many lands, many worlds. Many are equally good and are as well respected, but wherever we have gone, no words have said this thing of importance in quite this way. Look at these three words written larger than the rest, with a special pride never written before or since. Tall words proudly saying We the People. That which you call E Plebnista was not written for the chiefs or the kings or the warriors or the rich and powerful, but for all the people! Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, 'We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution.' These words and the words that follow were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well!

STILL MORE GOOD STUFF:
(Did I mention The Tattered Remnants?)
I like bats much better than bureaucrats. I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of “Admin”. The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern.... -- C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
DEMOCRACY is the word with which you must lead them by the nose.... you can use the word democracy to sanction in his thought the most degrading (and also the least enjoyable) of all human feelings.... under the name of Envy it has been known to humans for thousands of years... you can sanction it -- make it respectable and even laudable -- by the incantatory use of the word democratic. - Screwtape Proposes a Toast
I honor and love you. But I shall obey God rather than you. And while I have life and strength, I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy. For know that this is the command of God; and I believe that no greater good has ever happened in the state than my service to the God. For I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but first and chiefly to take care about the greatest improvement of the soul. This is my teaching.
And if this is the doctrine that corrupts the youth, then I am a mischievous person.
But if anyone says that this is not my teaching, then he is speaking an untruth. . . . - Socrates, by way of Plato and Steven Schwartz

Your Host
- (c)2014 Richard L. Kent, Esq. (MichiganSilverback at gmail dot com)
- § It's said that an infinite number of monkeys typing away at keyboards will eventually reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare. § What they don't say is that the total amount of matter in the universe, if turned into monkeys and typewriters, powered by all energy present in the universe, to feed the monkeys in question, working for a hundred billion years, can't possibly create as much as the first act of Hamlet. § One Infinite Monkey--i.e., a human being--can write all of Shakespeare's works in the course of a single lifetime... if that Infinite Monkey happens to be Shakespeare. § You are an Infinite Monkey. So am I. Amphibians are we, half spirit and half worm: monkeys in the sense that we are Steve Gerber's “hairless apes, trapped in a world we never made”; infinite in the sense that we are also immortal and we shall still live when the sun is a black dwarf. § If you recognize, like this old silverback, that we are a duality and not a mere mechanical emptiness--you may find my writings amusing. If so, welcome. Stay a while. And feel free to comment. (But keep it clean.)

TOXIC "CONSERVATIVE" WEB SITES TO BE ACTIVELY SHUNNED BY GROWNUPS
World Net Daily/Michael Savage
Because Michael Wiener AKA "Michael Savage" defamed the parents of autistic children, of whom I have three. (It doesn’t help that they’re birther nuts, either.)
Ann Coulter
Because she's far crueller than necessary and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Debbie Schlussel
Ditto the above, plus she hates, and has actively slimed a lot of people I call friends.
VDare
Because they're white supremacists who hate immigrants. (White doe? I beg your pardon?)
Little Green Footballs
We hold this truth to be self-evident.
Blogmocracy ("LGF2")
Because their lead bigmouth "Rodan" is a racist genocide cheerleader who said that I, personally, caused 9/11.
Republican Riot
Because its chief "political comedienne" Julia Goren thinks that a story about children receiving gifts at a war orphanage is an "act of defecation on the Serbs on Christmas."
Lew Rockwell Blog
Libertarianism and racism: the opposite of a Reeses' Peanut Butter Cup. A bad mix.
NumbersUSA
Anti-immigrant hate AND advocacy of ZPG! Another ammonia+chlorine political mixture.
