1. You're right

But if something ridiculous like that can potentially help bring down some Repukes, I don't mind.

2. Sex sells . . .

. . . a fine combination of hypocrisy combined with every persons fascination with the dark underbelly of the customs and traditions of the time. It's weird and oddly funny that it causes such a sensation. Tens of thousands of dead, no big deal. A blow job or a hooker? Now that is news.

4. The Enron-ed GDP... Iran trying to switch to the Euro... etc, etc.

5. Republican Family Values...

The Family Values crowd is at it again. Those crazy cut-ups and laugh-a-lot clowns over at the RNC have scored another blow (no pun intended) for the freedom to think and act like morons. And, as Yavin so articulately notes, if screwing up the whole world didn't get 'ya to laughing, their crazy sexcapades are sure to tickle your funnybone. The gift that keeps on giving!

where the media will suddenly find their "integrity" and
"try not to make it a media circus".
