Quote:BTW, you said:Ok then, I guess you are somewhat funny then. You are right though that I chose the subject line to catch your attention and to stimulate discussion. So maybe I'm guilty of the typical headline sensationalism like, "3 headed dog eats town". Just don't accuse me of believing them.
You may now feel better about yourself for first putting words into my mouth, and then using them to denigrate me as some SOB conservative. I guess to counter I'd have to accuse you of being an afficionado of Al Franken, but then, you aren't that funny.
go reread my post, i never once quoted you, i only pointed out that what the article was really saying seemed to have eluded you. I also did not 'denigrate you as some SOB conservative'. I suppose the dig at ann coulter was unnecessary, but have you read that woman's work or seen her talk? She is the embodiment of what is wrong with the US today.... IMHO
Hmmm, Ann Coulter, Yes I seen her on the talking heads shows, I visit her site once in awhile, and I think she is pretty cute and sassy. I respect her intellect, but I too find her expressed views to be doggedly one-sided which I suspect is to pander to her conservative audience. I guess I would say that her conservative cheerleading is as annoying to me, as say the doggedly liberal Bill Maher, or the Ragin' Cajun - James Carville. But, I like people that are capable of defending their thoughts. I think of those commentators more as the political side-show of entertainment, which is why I suspect it is tempting side work for comedians.
