In Europe newspapers biggest revenue comes from readers in the U.S. it comes from advertisers. If European papers don’t deliver the news to their readers revenues go down. In the U.S. the news is scripted to please the advertisers. Big difference. Legitimate 4th Estate in the U.S., not so much.</p> Michael Moore raised an interesting point in comparing U.S. newspapers to those in Europe.

I loved being at sea. I only had one week aboard a ship, USS SACRAMENTO, where I didn’t have to do anything. In transit and since the 2 of us had just come from the Tonkin Gulf fiasco we were treated like gods.</p> Don’t know how I missed that but I was a blue water sailor long before I was a brown water sailor.

Sorry, relatively new and FIRST I’ve heard of this shit.

Now THAT’S what makes me want to show up at an event packing heat.

An insurance industry convention event.

That is InFuckingTolerable in the “richest” country in the world, and happens every 30 seconds (bankruptcies due to medical bills). And of course while the Rethugs ruled everything, they got a brand new bankruptcy bill to fuck over the little man even more.

Ever notice how when the Rethugs are in total power, they get their agenda DONE. But when the Democrats are in total power, they too get the Rethugs agenda done.

Funny that.
