The same reason you never mention the "disability" checks hard working Americans are forced to give you monthly. Some things are just too embarrassing to discuss. After all you do have an image to protect don't you Mr. "CONservative small gubermit just leave me alone Republican"? After seeing the girth and gigantic ass of Teddy it appears you two have more than just hypocrisy in common. |

Thoughts.
* Health care is too expensive, so the Clinton administration is putting a high-powered corporate lawyer in charge of making it cheaper. (This is what I always do when I want to spend less money — hire a lawyer from Yale.) If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free. * The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then they get elected and prove it. .. * Many reporters, when they go to work in the nation’s capital, begin thinking of themselves as participants in the political process instead of glorified stenographers. * The whole idea of our government is this: If enough people get together and act in concert, they can take something and not pay for it. * ...Daniel Patrick Moynihan is the archtypical extremely smart person who went into politics anyway instead so doing something worthwhile for his country. So maybe he owes all of us an apology... * The American political system is like a gigantic Mexican Christmas fiesta. Each political party is a huge pińata — a papier-mâché donkey, for example. The donkey is filled with full employment, low interest rates, affordable housing, comprehensive medical benefits, a balanced budget and other goodies. The American voter is blindfoled and given a stick. The voter then swings the stick wildly in every direction, trying to hit a political candidate on the head and knock some sense into the silly *******. * Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. * The second item in the liberal creed, after self-righteousness, is unaccountability. Liberals have invented whole college majors— psychology, sociology, women's studies— to prove that nothing is anybody's fault. No one is fond of taking responsibility for his actions, but consider how much you'd have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the liberal view. * At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats. * I have often been called a Nazi, and, although it is unfair, I don't let it bother me. I don't let it bother me for one simple reason. No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed an sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal. * The principal feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things — war and hunger and date rape — liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things.... It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal. * You can't get good Chinese takeout in China and Cuban cigars are rationed in Cuba. That's all you need to know about communism. * You can't shame or humiliate modern celebrities. What used to be called shame and humiliation is now called publicity. And forget traditional character assassination; if you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you've read his autobiography. * Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the "right" to education, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle. * There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. * There are just two rules of governance in a free society: Mind your own business. Keep your hands to yourself. Bill, keep your hands to yourself. Hillary, mind your own business. * Health care is too expensive, so the Clinton administration is putting a high-powered corporate lawyer in charge of making it cheaper. (This is what I always do when I want to spend less money — hire a lawyer from Yale.) If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free. * And the Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock? Peace Corps volunteers? Or maybe the people in Texas were attacked because of child abuse. But, if child abuse was the issue, why didn't Janet Reno tear-gas Woody Allen? * You know, if government were a product, selling it would be illegal. * Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have. * Term limits aren't enough. We need jail. -- P. J. O'Rourke. |

We need jail. I also like H.L. Mencken. (1880-1956) =================================== I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true! Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right. There is always a well-known solution to every human problem--neat, plausible, and wrong. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. It is inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office. Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there. “The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods.” H. L. Mencken ================================================== == -- Due to the insane amount of spam and garbage, I block all postings with a Gmail, Google Mail, Google Groups or HOTMAIL address.

"Whether Web logs (known as blogs) or printed books, the media in a democracy have a number of overlapping but distinctive functions that remain fundamentally unchanged. One is to inform and educate.

Media audiences may benefit from various, conflicting opinions, in order to obtain a wide range of viewpoints. This role is especially important during election campaigns, when few voters will have the opportunity to see, much less talk with, candidates in person. A second function of the media is to serve as a watchdog over government and other powerful institutions in the society. By holding to a standard of independence and objectivity, however imperfectly, the news media can expose the truth behind the claims of governments and hold public officials accountable for their actions." http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pub...rief/media.htm I am disappointed but not surprised. |

The court jester could mock the king and keep his head-old tradition. You DON"T get it. The issue is not whether satire is a valid form of presentation, the issue is whether a satirist is a credible source of news. To get back to your original assertion, Jon Stewart is a satirist. Not a reporter. He deals in perspective. He presents HIS perspective. He doesn't report facts. A clown may base his act on facts. But he is not a factual source. |
