		<description>&lt;p&gt;This is a battle that progressives can win. It cost nothing in economic terms for us (the defamed political opposition).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Join the ‘BOYCOTT ABC ARMY’. I have gone almost three days without watching ABC Network and the plan is to never watch it again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Liberals have been broadsided by a corporation so fascist that they are willing to sacrifice democracy  for a power play.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We need a huge army of individuals to win this fight against lies and deception by ABC. It costs nothing, that’s right not a penny to BOYCOTT ABC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ABC NETWORK started this fight and we need to finish it. Let’s fight the good fight and this is one we can win. Let’s take America back from the fascist corporations one battle at a time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BOYCOTT ABC NETWORK!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anybody know how many viewers an 8.2/12 share equates to?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LA Times reports audience of 13 million, versus 20 million for the football game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The thing that keeps striking me is that Bush was saying that he &lt;b&gt;wouldn’t rest&lt;/b&gt; until those responsible were brought to justice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And in the last 5 years ‘war pretzeldent’ Chimp has set an all-time presidential record for vacation days. He doesn’t work many hours on the days he actually shows up to work, either.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;When they look at the numbers closely, I think they will show an ABC audience that shrank tremendously within the first 15 minutes. This is not because it was politically sensitive but because it is one of the most tedious, incomprehensible pieces of garbage they’ve ever broadcast. A bunch of advertisers must be breathing a sigh of relief this morning that they hadn’t been talked into blowing any money on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agree. I tuned PT911 out except for the actionable defamation scenes. It sat in the corner of my CPU screen while I caught up on blogs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show flunks Goebbels’ first rule of cinema: it isn’t entertaining. Not the way to insinuate a worldview. The lack of commercial breaks hurt it. First, the viewer badly needed a break. Second, it laid bare the propaganda catapult, demonstrating, at least to the unzombified, that the show got on the air to sell something besides toothpaste. I’m sure many fence-sitters thought about the controversy it’s stirred and clicked their remotes with a clear conscience.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I watched for about 15 minutes as well…incoherent rubbish…why do we persist in redefining history in near real time (like this garbage made for tv movie…they’re all the same) instead of trying to change it?  Well, because we are not invested financially or personally (like taxes and military draft…like then we become stakeholders)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Evenings Folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How is your primary eve going? Taking a break from phone calling to remind everyone that there is an election tomorrow here in New York. Primary turn-out is always abysmal but I’m hoping to see a bigger then usual turn-out this year in preparation for the real deal Nov 7 when we elect Kirsten Gillibrand in place of John Sweeney in NY-20.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hello, Andrew. Good luck with that :) I’ll hope to hear the good news tomorrow. You’ll stop by?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Here’s my email to Robert Iger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can’t believe that you have gone ahead and aired that smelly piece of propaganda The path to 9/ll.  I had read that you were really a good guy.  Well forgettaboutit……….you’re true colors are flying.  I hereby vow to never, ever go to Disneyworld, or Disneyland, or buy any Disney product ever.  I hereby consign ABC to the dustbin of history.  You will be a footnote in the story of how America flirted with fascism - the marriage of corporations with government.  What an infamous footnote you will be.  Hopefully, the forces of good, the people who still believe in the constitution and the balance of powers, will win.  If not,  your history will be even blacker…..think about it, when your time came to carry on our great American traditions, you failed - utterly.  I hope the WhiteHouse paid you big bucks from their propaganda budget.  Sincerely,  A real American from the midwest,  Carmen Ferguson&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;McCafferty on why nearly half the people think Saddam responsible for 9/11 — e-mail answers say, “because people listen to idiots like Russ Limbaugh”  or “because people swallowed what you told them” or “because people are dumb as wood” or “because they are ‘true believers’” or “we’re a nation of idiots; where’s the outrage?”  Another scientific sampling.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So why did the Pres’ poll numbers go up (42 percent JAR) in the latest poll rwcole reported?  Something’s amiss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’ve been following Hugh’s daily posts on retail gasoline prices, you’ve noted the downward trend in same. This decline will help the incumbents a little.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
