And FOX is getting caught: Bottom line is that Fox News is in for a very rough 2008. And the umbrella reason for that is quite simple: Eight years ago the all-news cable channel went all-in on the presidency of George W. Bush and became a broadcast partner with the White House. Proof of that […]
Andrew Sullivan has posted this comment from a reader talking about Obama’s victory: This also shows that George W Bush is a uniter after all: People are so fucking frustrated that even rednecks are willing to give a black guy a chance. The proof of this is in the turnout. As of right now the […]
Good for him When it comes to protecting the rule of law, words are not enough. We need action. It’s wrong for your government to spy on you.
