Couldn't you give us some kind of warning before sending us to that disturbing image?

Damn Dave, at least warn us to use eye protection.

Thanks. Now I'm blind.

If we consider a US Senator as a "Fed" and Mary Jo Kopechne as the college student, does murder constitute "harrassed"?

I dearly hope someone offers Senator Creosote a "waffer-thin" mint, pronto.

That picture is bad, but distracts from the main point of the blog:

"Even if the assertion was a hoax, she said, it did not detract from Kennedy's broader point that the Bush administration has gone too far in engaging in surveillance." ie. No proof of abuse but we're going to use it anyway.

In other words, news stations might as well lay off their reporters and camera men, and just accompany their stories with footage from "dramatic recreations", because it would be cheaper and just as relevant.

Don't they already do a lot of that with shows like "Dateline" and "48 Hours?"

Remember "Dateline" got itself in deep kimchi some years ago over an " expose' " of the supposed unsafe design flaws in the Ford Pinto by rigging an extra gas tank in the back to make the thing explode when they thought it should. Again, fake but accurate!

Kind of like my tax return.

Ted Kennedy is afruad himself

I think that's what Ace was referring to when he said "you know where this is heading, right?"

(They also do it on Forensic Files, although I like that show...)

I could be wrong, but I believe someone's photoshopped that pic. Ted's complexion is usually much blotchier than that.

Is that a still from the poignant new film Broke Chair Mountain?

Some things never change. The LA Times just ran a story about the collector who found a letter from Sinclair Lewis, in which he confesses that he was told by Sacco and Vanzetti's defense attorney that they were guilty of killing the guards and robbing the payroll. Lewis went ahead and advocated for their release along with all the other good liberals.

Actually, Tubby's statement is completely in keeping with his historical accuracy. Especially when you consider his statements after his "incident" at Chappaquidic: they may have not been entirely true, but his statements captured the essence of his innocence.

My Pappy used to tell me that 99% of the people in the world are stupid, and 99% of the rest of them act that way. Fortunately for him, he only needs 50% + 1 of the voters to be that stupid to keep being re-elected. Kinda like most the Repubs now. RINOs!

I know for sure that they did that with GM pickups - I work for The General, and have not forgiven Dateline yet.
