Well, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Is he wasting money, or pouring money into the economy? Six of one these days...

You're moving the goalposts. If you said it so simply to start, I'd have no real issue. I still don't think you're quite accurately describing the objections over cost (they weren't simply financial). But it is the inclusion of fraudulent supporting facts that prompted argument.

Also, I have no issue with National Review nor Media Matters nor Fox News nor Instapundit. When they present sourced facts they present positions that can be rationally debated. When they don't, then they can't be. But simply being from one of those sources does not make facts any less. I'm sorry you filter yourself only to sources you perceive will slant the facts to your preference.

I never claimed that you have problems with any source per se. However, many posters call Fox News Faux News because of they perceive a bias. I am letting it be known that I have always felt the same about Media Matters. In the same way that anything that comes from Fox is doubted by many here, I admittedly have the same doubts about MM.

I'm apparently feeling harsh today. The fact that I have twice posted and then felt I should come back and remove or soften what I've said is strong indicator that today shouldn't be an internet day for me.

So I'm pancaking this and will move on.

Wolf Blitzer and Keith Olbermann are locked in a fierce battle to show who is the bigger idiot.

Right now my money is on Wolf for "And to all a good night" as Bush's helicopter was circling.

I believe that was Keith, actually.

OMG, I'm so ashamed, Joseph Enterprises is one of our long standing clients.

Happily, I do not do their work, but UGH, that's just awful and silly and more than a little creepy.

Yet strangely, I kinda want one.
