"Fox News is not simply a mouthpiece for the Bush White House: it rose with Bush after 2000 and 9/11, was played on TVs in his White House and reflected the same surety and flag-lapel-pin confidence in its tone and star-spangled look. It was not just a hit; it was the network of the moment."

Can Fox "News" survive the changing times? Or has it jumped the shark, along with the rest of the right? It wouldn't be missed if it, as we know it, vanished. But I think it will do just fine. People are still stupid.

"The bill would allow teachers to "present scientific information relevant to the full range of views on biological and chemical origins." It might as well read "present the full range of lies and nonsense from the intelligent design movement." That is precisely what it means and everyone knows it. And as soon as that happens, we will file suit in court and prove, yet again, that all of this is just a rhetorical masquerade for science. Welcome to the Dover trap."

"The U.S. military's first and only study looking into ties between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and al Qaeda showed no connection between the two, according to a military report released by the Pentagon."

It's the oil stupid, or maybe it's just the stupid, stupid. Or the
stupidly stupid stupidity...

Stupid.
