Yes, it’s real folks. More over at Sound And Fury, Signifying Nothing.
The liberal media sure seem to be all over this don’t they?
You think Gore endorsing Dean (NYTimes) is a surprise? Man the media sure has you fooled. The reason why the last election was so damn close was Gore’s refusal to adopt Clinton’s centrist policies and positioning. Gore leaned left, sounded left, and never took hold of the true center in America – and he paid the price. As did we all.
Efforts to ask the world to help in Iraq by our Administration are pretense (VOANews). If others don’t want to play by our rules – we don’t want their help.
I think Jeff Jarvis is on the right track and is a true booster of democracy in Iraq by trying to find ways to support citizen media.
Hey, do you think that Wal-Mart is good for America (NYTimes)?
