Oh, That Liberal Media...has two very annoying stories for you to be angered by. He told the students that changes in military combat tours is "an unwritten, sneak draft." And he said an official draft could be coming soon. "Everybody in this room who is 17 years old should know that the likelihood of a draft in a second Bush administration is almost a certainty," McDermott said. Well, that is indeed a sobering prospect for young men. Bush is bad-- he's bringing back the draft. The Seattle Times, amazingly, fails to report that there is already a bill to re-enact the draft in Congress-- co-sponsored by Baghdad Jim McDermott. I think that's sort of relevant to the story, don't you? Meanwhile, Congressional Democrats vow to inject government censorship into news-coverage. They don't like FoxNews, and they think "legislative means" might be helpful in forcing FoxNews to report stories they way liberals think they should be reported. Ummmm... I don't like tossing around the word "fascist" lightly, but aren't we entering a real danger area when partisan government officials are taking it upon themselves to limit free speech? In the "public interest," of course-- they're always acting on behalf of the masses. What the hell else can you call a demand for government monitoring and approval of media reportage? As Kevin Pollack might say, "Were you absent the day they taught law at law school?"

I hate to think democrats were this despicable back when I voted for democrats. These democrat lawmakers smell really bad. Really, really bad. Posted by: Fletcher on August 5, 2004 02:09 PM
I'd love to come up with some eloquent argument in Fox's defense, but I really can't top this: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. " Posted by: Brian B on August 5, 2004 02:10 PM
Hey, the Weekly World News publishes disinformation, and some really deluded people believe it. No one is proposing to shut it down. Why should Fox be regulated? Posted by: Dianna on August 5, 2004 03:40 PM
"they're always acting on behalf of the masses" When they aren't acting for "The Children"(TM). Posted by: RonB on August 5, 2004 04:17 PM
Thankyou for that Brian B...none of us can top it either. Posted by: terrier on August 6, 2004 12:58 AM
BrianB, I hate to have to criticize you on your command of the law, here, but I think you've missed something. In the 2002 Supreme Court case of Democrats v. Reality, 803 U.S. 961, a sharply divided court held that "the First Amendment's guarantee of Congressional non-interference with the press, so highly valued by the framers, was written for the purpose of ensuring a robust and vigorous political discourse. But in the ensuing centuries since the founding, we think it manifestly clear that vigorous political discourse is no longer a desireable policy, as the temptation to misuse is grows ever stronger. We recognize that we are breaking from the literal text of the Constitution, but we do so in order that we might better preserve it from those who would actually read the words - and in so doing, hamper the progress of liberty." I will assume that your mistaken assumption that the First Amendment had not been struck down as unconstitutional is because you haven't been to a liberal law school. Not you fault, of course. Ah, that was a good day for the Democrats. Posted by: Aaron on August 6, 2004 01:16 AM
The media has sold its soul to the Democrats, and the Dems have sold theirs to the media. They will use and defend each other to the death of one or both. Posted by: Tom on August 6, 2004 12:57 PM
The trouble with freedom is, people use it. Posted by: lauraw on August 6, 2004 01:00 PM
Wait a minute! You mean it is acceptable to have to sit here mum and watch some a-hole make a picture of the Virgin Mary smothered in dung for freedom of speech, some sanctimonious reporter clam up to protect his source for freedom of the press, (the good kind) hear sermon after sermon of hate speech directed at everything under the sun for freedom of religion, but if someone presents a point of view that runs askew of yours and you are a legislator it is perfectly acceptable to invoke change through "legislative means?" That is too much to swallow. These guys display too much hubris. Where are the lightning bolts? Posted by: Rob? on August 6, 2004 06:16 PM

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
