Oh.
I think you meant Bender.
I miss him.

No I absolutely meant Blender.

And so what if the Post is conservative media? This is what I mean by you have no point to make. Sure it is conservative media but WTF does that have to do with them doing an article on me and my buddy at the Trade Center?

Please in the future read more carefully what others post clocker. There is no way I can see you making any correlation between me listing the NY Post as conservative and me being in their paper????

Whatever political agenda the editors have at a paper doesn't mean the reporters share the same views, and my ONLY discernable point was that the media can misrepresent something so simple as a short interview.

But had you actually spent time reading more closely you would have known that.

Hold on a minute.
For two pages now you've been trying to convince us that the "media hates Bush" and is guilty of filtering the news through a liberal bias ( after all " everyone" knows this, right?) and then you put up a personal example of being misquoted by a conservative paper ( your definition, not mine) to prove it.
And it's me who isn't following the topic?
I realize that consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, but really, a little would go a long way here.

No I absolutely meant Blender.

Oh, ok.
Check the members list when you have a spare moment.

After all of this SJ, your view has been muddled.

I can't tell if it's different or not.

....nor at this point do I care.

People "hate" Bush for a reason, not some bandwagon. The man is ass-backwards with not a hint of turning around.

Oh and Blender...neva hoid of 'em.

Maybe a mod changed their name.

SJ,
A bit of personal backround may be in order here.

I spent my formative years in D.C. and my ex-wife was a producer for NBC News.
I have socialized with everyone from on-air talent ( a debatable term, but the one they use) to staff researchers.
The only common agenda that I could see was they held all politicians with equal contempt.
Saturated as they were in politics, the disconnect between what politicos say in public and what they do behind closed doors lead them all to extreme cynicism.
Lately it seems that politicians of all stripes have decided that it would be a good thing to project an image of holier than thou piety and righteousness ( hence the great concern about the "morals of America").
Such bloviation is an irresistable target to a curious and jaded journalist.
If Bush insists that he is the "great uniter" and then spends all his time trying to bulldoze through legislation that marginalizes and excludes vast numbers of people, who could resist the temptation to call him on it?
And, more importantly, why would that make one a "hate filled Liberal" instead of a critical thinking independent?

Hell, I'll bet half the people I knew in the business didn't even vote at all, so disgusted with the farce of American democracy it seemed pointless.

To me that doesn't add up to a liberal conspiracy.

Bender was a Mod, and I do believe that Clocker did have a blender as an avatar, but I can't recall it exactly.

We all remember this one:



Bloviation- what a victorious day it has been for my list of words I know the definition of, whatever that is called.

SJ- Clocker is an acquired taste, but one well worth the investment. But he is a fag.

as far as i know, Julianne Malveaux has never sought the Democratic nomination for the presidency and doesn&#39;t own a cable television network, so i&#39;d count Pat Robertson as being just as prominent as (if not more than) Malveaux:

Robertson: Pray for Justices&#39; Retirement
Tuesday, July 15, 2003

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson (search) urged his nationwide audience Monday to pray for God to remove three justices from the Supreme Court so they could be replaced by conservatives.

"We ask for miracles in regard to the Supreme Court," Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network&#39;s The 700 Club.

Robertson has launched a 21-day "prayer offensive" directed at the Supreme Court (search) in the wake of its 6-3 June vote that decriminalized sodomy. Robertson said in a letter on the CBN Web site that the ruling "has opened the door to homosexual marriage, bigamy, legalized prostitution and even incest."

The same letter targets three justices in particular: "One justice is 83-years-old, another has cancer and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put it in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire?"

Judging from the descriptions, Robertson was referring to Justice John Paul Stevens (search), who was born in 1920, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (search), who had colon cancer surgery in 1999. The identity of the third justice was unclear.

i suppose "retirement" is subject to interpretation. though i think it&#39;d be disingenuous to interpret a prayer for God to "retire" people with terminal illnesses as nothing to do with death.

perhaps not the Grand Old Party&#39;s finest moment:

Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He&#39;d better have a bodyguard. -- Senator Jesse Helms, 1994.

and that&#39;s prolly one of the least vitriolic statements he&#39;s ever made in public. i wouldn&#39;t go so far as to say Jesse Helms is crude but, well... okay, he is pretty crude, ain&#39;t he?
