The more the merrier. Ted Nugent is just as good a source as AP.

This does not make Franken, Nugent, Gerafelo, or Limbaugh worthwhile for getting news, just for teaching us how to be sarcastic.

Opinion would read like: "That means we are really getting at them" or and we haven't even made a dent in the number of attacks."

Since we have no reliable way to judge the scope of the insurgency, we have no way to judge our success other than by the number of insurgent attacks. That isn't very reliable either because they will stop all at once if we beat them right?

I really enjoyed what Darryl Worley had to say about having to go on the USO tour with Franken:

"...he turned out to be one of the best human beings that I’ve ever gotten to know. And he never pushed me. We talked; we got into some things. And he’s very sharp.

Policinski: Yeah.

Worley: Don’t get into a discussion with him about things unless you got your facts right, because he busted me on a couple things. But I think we both had moments when we had comments that made the other person think. And that’s what it’s all about to me. And I guess in that experience, I realized what America is really, really about and what this show’s about and what music’s about. And that is, we’re so blessed to be free. And freedom’s a huge word. It means so much more to me now after those experiences in the Middle East than it ever did before. Before, it was just a term, and I knew what it meant, and now, it’s something that’s inside me. And we are so blessed to have it. And we’re so blessed to be able to express our opinions. But we should honor and respect one another. He’s a really good American."

Ted Nugent, although a little off-the-wall, is a true American, heart and soul. If people could get past his eccentric persona, and listened more closely to his words, they would realize that he is FOR the troops, not a propagandist.

Mr. G: Now the media is "protecting an inept President" LOL Ow, my side hurts.

But critics, including independent journalists who have reported from Iraq, say the trip is a propaganda mission for the U.S. military and the Bush administration and cannot be considered "journalism" by any standards.

"They have no idea what journalism is, and to pretend they are journalists is laughable," Beinart said.

Yep, but when Sean Penn does it, it's different.

I think Ms. Morgan's work history matches or beats your own Mr. Beinart. Do I smell some journalistic envy or sour grapes?

For not knowing a true journalist over a fake, I give Peter Beinart today's knucklehead of the Day award.

One of my friends works at a high school and recently asked a military recruiter what his honest opinion of the Iraq war was. He responded that the general feeling from his perspective it was a business deal gone bad (oil) and now our soldiers are paying the ultimate price for a foreign policy that puts the profit of big business ahead of human life. Now that's moral values. Let's hear these right wing propagandists actually articulate a cogent response to that that doesn't invoke the McCarthyism mantra of being unpatriotic or 9-11, 9-11, 9-11 and did I say 9-11?

I was really enjoying my total dislike of Al Franken, but it appears that he's one of several people in the country who claim to "support the troops, but not the war"—and mean it....

Really? Now there is an idea that I'll bet no one on the editorial staffs of The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Time, Newsweek,

Today is the day that we celebrate our independence. With all of its foibles and all its backbiting, caterwauling critics, there is no question but that the United States of America is the greatest force for good that the planet Earth has ever seen.....
