Come on....I suppose next you will be telling us that Wolf Blitzer or Chris Mathews would be popular with just liberals....now that would be a shocker....NOT!!!!

well, I for one was APPALLED by the fact that they barred people from leaving the Superdome.

I'm not alone in that, am I?

There are and will be a thousand versions of the same incident. A polite request to return to your place in line will be told as being forced at gunpoint when you were only asking a question.

Supplies directed to the more needy will be told as being commadeered not to be used anywhere until paperwork is completed.

I will take all stories with a grain of salt and will evaluate the source before I take anything as fact.

RWS:

If the military is barring people for entering/leaving a given area, then they are doing it for the best reasons: to avoid adding more victims to the victims already in the area. New Orleans is now a toxic swamp acrawl with bacteria, poisons, debris, and not a few armed thugs roaming around. There are likely to be many corpses which remain uncollected, and keeping the media away from that spectacle is the only right and decent thing to do. Let the resuers go about their business.

That said, I'm sure that many of the stories we're hearing are apocryphal and will probably turn out to be overblown of made up out of whole cloth. It's always that way during big disasters, and they don't come any bigger than this. Also, when the media can't get actual facts to report, they'll resort to rumor, innuendo, and conspiracy. Or they'll just make shit up.

And it could have nothing to do with the fact that New Orleans is one of the biggest toxic waste sites in the country, and that unwarranted touching of anything there could be really, really bad for you.

Ace, news anger?

Don't let Keith (Who?) see that.

Olbermann's a nitwit. I once had a roomate that hated him from his days as an LA sportscaster (Olbermann's, not my roommates).

He's trying to be John Stewart, without an audience - either in studio or in America.

I used to have these sorts of arguments ("Wait! You said it was a strike! Now you're saying it was a ball!") with my younger brothers. When I was ten. All right, when I was fourteen.

Did you win?

Thanks, Bart! I'm afraid that was yet another "indelible" statement that will keep me up late at nights, doubing the very existance of Karl Rove Himself.

All right, when I was fourteen.

Did you win?

I did until my brothers got bigger than me, and began kicking my ass.

That's when I learned the value of calm, rational argumentation.

That's when I learned the value of calm, rational argumentation.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

Negotiate when you can. Compromise when you have to.

Olberman, Olberman... is he the one that looks like Groucho Marx.

Groucho was funnier.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

...turn out to be overblown of made up out of whole cloth.

But its *seared* into their memory.

Olbermann's argument against Chertoff sounds as pointless as his argument as to why Lance Armstrong was a "louse" who must have used EPO - for making a commercial, or a random mispelling, i forget which.

I wonder if he heard Mary Landreau refer to all of the "computer stimulations" that predicted flooding in New Orleans. He'll be all over that tonight

Did you win? -- I did until my brothers got bigger than me, and began kicking my ass. That's when I learned the value of calm, rational argumentation.

They're younger than you. How much bigger than you could they get? Are they funny, too?

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: Negotiate when you can. Compromise when you have to.

And my favorite quote is: Blackmail works, if not, run like hell.

What is worse then this petty rant is how he reported the CNN poll last night (9/7/2005). Somehow - the only place I have seen this done - he managed to combine the 13% that blamed the President for the problems in NO following Kat with the 18% that blamed "federal agencies" and came out with the conclusion that this combined 31% beats the 25% that blamed the state or local officials. He never reported the individual 13 and 18% numbers, not once!

That is just not right. You can't combine numbers like that if you want accurate results (he is obsessed with accuracy isn't he, based on the story.) You have to stick to the question asked in the poll (which is a bad question anyway for many reasons!)

He completely missed that part that says 63 percent said they do not believe anyone at federal agencies responsible for handling emergencies should be fired.
DKK

how the magic of a baby's smile always leaves me feeling... absolutely nothing at all.

Ace, are you sure you're not gay?

Olbermann is a shining example of the Peter Principle . He was at his pinnacle of capability when hosting a sports oriented version of 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' Everything beyond that is an undeserved promotion placing him in the postion of constantly drawing ridicule upon his miniscule cognitive functions.

Braindead Brian gets support from the left-wing liars no wonder i cant stand the jerk

The rent for Park Place was $1500. Broadway's was two grand.

I'm smarter than you. Just like Keith Olbermann.

Now where's my cheesy "SportsCenter" catchphrases??
