Another One From Michelle MalkinTom Brokaw is all upset about the mean, mean bloggers waiting to criticize him. Let me state the obvious. Again. The press is forever puffing itself as the national watchdog. They pompously spout off about how they provide a vital role in keeping our democracy relatively clean, and fostering the national debate. But again and again, these whiny, arrogant bitches complain when any outside scrutiny whatsoever is cast upon them. They apparently claim to be the only institution in America capable of self-policing, and furthermore that any attempt of outside policing consists of something very close to an unconsitutional "chilling of their First Amendment rights." I'm trying to curse less now, but I feel a stream of vicious profanity just dying to get out. But I won't. I just cannot. Understand. The arrogance. I don't understand how someone can go through their lives with such arrogance, condescension, hypocrisy, and feeling of entitlement and never once question it. They don't question themselves-- ever. Others they question, and when they do, they clap themselves on the back for "daring" to ask the tough questions (as if this were Cuba, which, by the way, they're big fans of, mostly). But when you presume to question them -- when you assert your rights as American citizens to question and dissent -- they get pretty snippy, don't they? This election isn't just about Kerry. It's also about these arrogant, hypocritical cowards. If we beat Kerry, we beat Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, and Dan Rather too, and quite frankly, it's the latter victory I yearn for especially. Vote. I'm not kidding here. For once, it actually is important, and yes, every vote will count. posted by Ace at 04:44 PM
CommentsI'm beginning to wonder if we should start thinking of the Blogosphere as "The Fifth Estate." Of course, if it's an estate, it probably looks a lot like Carl Spackler's shack, what with all the C-4 on hand to kill the Varmint Cong. Election Day 2004: Cannonball. . . cannonball comin'!

Remember that for all their professional lives press people have been talking AT people while people could not talk back. They developed very odious habits from this authoritarian relationship. Now people talk back (horors) and therefore they whine. Posted by: on October 28, 2004 05:20 PM
That is so well said, Ace! Posted by: Major Domo on October 28, 2004 06:29 PM
I loooooove this little whine: "I think there were people just lying in the Internet bushes, waiting to strike, and I think that particular episode gave them a big opportunity." Well, Tommy, we'd all still be in the bushes (in our pajamas?) if Dan and Mary hadn't made it so damn easy to figure out. Bitches. Posted by: Sean M. on October 28, 2004 06:37 PM
I'm trying to curse less now, but I feel a stream of vicious profanity just dying to get out... let it fly my brother! Posted by: Madfish WIllie on October 28, 2004 08:00 PM
I don't know if I can. Trying to get advertisers, you know. OTOH, when I tried to stop cursing before (back in like February or something), it was a living hell and I didn't have any fun at all. Had to give it up and start cursing again. I had one reader tell me he wasn't reading my site as one of his first-string blogs because I was cursing too much. Maybe I can just scale it back.

CNBC ranks Tennessee as dead last in its “Worst States to Live” analysis. The specific reason is that cross-dressing men in TN are denied access to children and women’s private spaces. Texas finished 49th. The “worst” states were all red states. [Buck]
Senator Lindsey Graham (R - SC) has died after a "brief and sudden illness." [Buck]
The "Evel Knievel Experience," a museum dedicated to the famous daredevil, opens in (where else) Las Vegas
Well I guess they could have opened it on the Snake Canyon.
In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):
Candace OwensFor such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:
Blake Neff Fenix Ammunition Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round. Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

And a song with another song as an intro, too: Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch There's something Inside that we need so much The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up Thru tarmac, to the sun again Boy do they look like absolute dorks.

Doing alright A little jiving on a Saturday night And come what may Gonna dance the day away Jenny was sweet She always smiled for the people she'd meet On trouble and strife She had another way of looking at life
