Bush to Let Rice Testify Under Oath
• Snow Reignites Fight Over Job Outsourcing
• U.S. Weapons Hunt Shifts Focus to 'Intent' in Iraq
• Massachusetts Leaders Battle Over Gay Marriage
• Survey: American Children Not Getting Enough Sleep

Bush didn't have the power to LET her testify.
Reignites? It never DISignited.
'Intent' - what the hell does that mean?
Why MA? Is it because it's where Kerry comes from? duh
Survey: Crap overloaded crap.

Those are the headlines right now.

unbelievable.

Does it bother you?

1. Good analysis....I read them at first without really thinking about it

And that's the problem. People outside of DU don't think twice about this stuff. The bombardment of these types of messages is so constant, they become "subliminable."

2. Well, after all, we do live in a right winged media bubble.

Lets change that. Write the media, protest them, hold them in contempt of the truth. It's the only way to beat them. Just image what Kerry's pol numbers would look like if A. We had a "Fair and Balanced" Left wing 24hr cable giant. 2, Every other 24 hr cable network had 1 hr. left wing personality shows with ZERO right wing shows. What would Kerry's poll numbers be if today's reality was reversed? I bet something like Kerry 82% to Bush's 10% with 8% going to Nader.

3. I love the "intent" part-

as it pertains to Iraq. It's like they intended to make weapons, then it slipped their minds. This is what we went to war for?
And you gotta love the job outsourcing angle-if we outsource jobs, we get more jobs here. Yah. Sure we do.
And Bush is letting her testify? You bet he is, he saw his numbers going down and even his own party was chewing his ass out over it. So, now he is the big, magnanomous leader, letting Condi testify against his better *ahem* judgment, meaning that Karl said he's better get her to testify or he was toast.

Yes, all of this bothers me. But I've been real pissed off lately. So it may just be me.
