I mean honestly, why can’t you keep to mildly misrepresenting the Iraq-OBL link?

Why can’t you maintain a consistant stance on issues that I can simply disagree with, note that you’re less rabid than the usual Bush appologists, and move on?

Why do you have to write a piece that I completely agree with?

It really makes me question my political vision when you do things like that. I mean honestly, an avowed Republican whom I can see eye to eye with? Who’s differences of opinion I can respect? Who is also in the media?!? :eek:

I mean honestly, you were a speachwriter for Nixon. NIXON! Can’t you see how this “making sense” thing is going to freak me out? You were there writing with Pat " ;j " Buchannan. Prolonged exposure is supposed to lead to fits of madness, and yet there is this moment of clarity.

You’re absolutely correct that everyone from the FCC to the Senate is having a love in with modern media mergers. You correctly point out that Murdoch is going to have a mine’s bigger than your’s fit, if the Comcast/Disney merger goes through. You lambast your own party for a piss poor sense of responsafuckingbility regarding media access and amalgamation. You even cast a Clinton appointee in a favorable light!

So stop already, Tuesday is freaking me out enough as it is and I’ve got another 30 pages of Scalia to read tonight.

Got behing in my Admin Law reading. :smack: It’s done now, but I’ve got this urge to deprive someone of non-explicit rights. To top it off, the Lawrence dissent in Con Law tomorrow. Life is suffering.

…not to mention Safire writes an ‘On Language’ column every Sunday in the NYTIMES Magazine. His etymology books are about 90% for the most part. Pretty damn good for a journalist. *And[/ik], he likes baseball and baseball history, words, etc.
