The MSM is twisting in the news
CNN is talking about orange juice prices, brittany's divorce, and interviewing TOM DELAY????????

They do not know how to act when there is real NEWS out here.

Oh, now a piece on some new champagne. Well, that *IS* relevent for most of us,

5. The Washington Post is nothing if not comprehensive.
Not content to simply cover the federal, gubernatorial, and local elections, the paper went deep yesterday, reporting on an important Seattle ballot initiative:

"Voters here Tuesday have an opportunity rare in a democratic society: To decide in a referendum whether lonely guys can continue to stuff $20 bills in the G-strings of hot young women."

Seattle Referendum 1, among other things, would have required that customers remain four feet away from strippers, thus ending the practice of lap dancing as we know it.

6. I'm sure they consider this election a voters "temper tantrum"
That's what Tom Brocaw(sp) called the '94 election and Limbaugh had so much fun ridiculing that - because he considered the election a major 'sea change' for the country and the media refused to catch up.

How's that temper tantrum doing NOW, Rush?
