		<description>&lt;p&gt;The media’s response does seem to be changing fast, and that is VERY worrisome.  The corporate masters and powers that be must be really shitting their pants.   Are  they coming clean in a “launch the lifeboats” effort to avoid being sucked under in the ensuing undertow when the ship sinks?  What do they know that they aren’t telling us…. yet?!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Scarecrow:  I read your post during lunch at work.  I really enjoyed it–keep em coming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I especially loved Frank Rich’s line about the purple ink…hehe&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                               21              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rayne –&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As if we’d forgotten the media’s complicity in the disaster that is unfolding before us with greater breadth, only suspected but now confirmed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep.  To the extent they’re self-aware, they must be hoping everyone will forget they fell asleep in the poppy field.  Still, better late . . .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They didn’t fall asleep in the poppy field, scarecrow, they were the freakin’ flying monkeys.  They’ve simply tucked their collective tails away and are trying to look like doves of peace; hoping no one will notice they are freaky, flying simians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gad, I think the most ironic aspect in recent years was watching Shephard Smith’s uncontrolled indignation at the complete and unnecessary horror that was befalling his home town during the Katrina disaster.  Someone at the Murdock flagship obviously got to him quickly and gave him the, “Loose the conscience or loose your job,” line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe Shephard will come out of the closet and tell many, many truths in some future memoir.  For his sake, I hope so.  He seemed like an alright human being for one, brief, shinning second there.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                123              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-405404&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;twolf1 @ 118&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;angie - wondered if you saw this yesterday:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBaDfue_Rys&quot;&gt;Kool-aid caller on CSPAN calls Pres. Carter a bigot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was watching and heard the gasbag live.  I made some loud noises at the tv after I picked my jaw up from the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was amazingly calm and polite to her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thanks for the link!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Look, that’s the meme Rush et al are pushing these days, although the racist epithet hurled at lefties has always struck me as funny and clueless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just like we’re all hippie-commie-pinko-fags…right?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;WooHoo, Scarecrow!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Too little too late and they’ll call themselves heroes anyway for daring to call the Emperor on his lack of wardrobe - after he’s dressed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh,well, I’ll take what I can get.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WooHoo, Scarecrow!  Hope there’s more from you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
