North Korea releasing their hostages

Kudos to Clinton, his image needed a win badly because he was looking ridiculous following the election. Yet, the morning after I was tuning into the news channels to revel in a foreign relations win for the US unfamiliar to me for eight-plus years. To my surprise, CNN was actually covering the story instead of some damn celebrity. Yet to my amazement, Fox News was up in arms about some secret "deal" with Kim Jong Il. Can't we just celebrate a win? Two United States citizens are home with their families that they may have never seen again if there had not been intervention, yet this is looked upon as an opportunity to criticize...wait for it...President Obama. Frankly, I am not that surprised, the man could cure cancer and Fox would ask "why not AIDS?", yet the comments of Dick Morris literally turned my stomach. I'll quote from MediaMatters.org:

Criticizing Bill Clinton's "awful," "ridiculous" trip to North Korea, Fox News political contributor Dick Morris said of the two freed journalists: "I feel badly for the two journalists, but what were they doing in North Korea in the first place?" Morris later responded to a question about "how were we supposed to get them home" by stating: "Maybe they don't come home. Maybe they go to North Korea and they live with the consequences of their decision to go there."

From the August 5 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

Disgusting. These are Americans. These are women with families. You sir, make me ashamed to inhabit the same country as you. Super classy. Dick.

Rachel Maddow is da hotness!

Her interview with Obama. This is how you do an interview....Main Stream Media, take some damn notes!

Before my debate opinions, a little sumthin for my peeps

I really loathe this woman (the one with the glasses):

Liberal bias in the media

Um, has anyone else finally gotten tired of hearing this load of drivel. Everyone keeps bringing up the Main Stream Media's love affair with Obama, yet McCain gets a free ride on a consistent basis. I just feel like if this is going to be the accusation by Republicans, then it should be at least accurate. Of course, this would be a serious departure from any strategy they've engaged in since 1988, so I'll just keep dreaming.

By the way, here's your proof:


Study some geography! Iraq and Pakistan don't share a border...unless you count Iran!

Don't worry, there's more. Apparently, our GOP candidate had another senior moment when describing how his oh so beloved "surge" went down and saved Iraq. In all actuality, the Anbar Awakening began in September 2006 and ran until the "surge" finally got there. The Anbar Awakening was all but over by the time the Bush/McCain/Leibermann "surge" finally got there. It was unneccesarry then, and its unneccessary now. Strangely enough, the MSM "liberal" media didn't air this answer, the transcripts don't match the video. But the video's online, and on K.O.'s excellent as usual show. Thanks Olbermann!


Needless to say, I'm sick of Republicans and everyone else holding up this supposed bias. If you really don't know if there's a bias, watch the news, then watch the Daily Show with John Stewart or check the Huffington Post, MoveOn.org, or MediaMatters.org. The only way to fight tyranny in this day and age without violence is to educate yourself.
