Re: FOX News mocks Canadian military . . .
Who knows. He's trying to demonize me by claiming that I only watch FOX, which every good liberal knows is just a conservative mouthpiece for Republicans, so of course I would defend them.Spider Johnson wrote:Where did anyone claim Fox News was the one true source of hard news?

Re: FOX News mocks Canadian military . . .
and I love how those whose only apparent source of news is Fox are so quick to claim that theirs is the one true source Actually, I very rarely watch the news on TV at all and, when I do, it's usually CNN. and then resort to name-calling if questioned. Really? Who did I call names? Did they measure...

Re: FOX News mocks Canadian military . . .
I misspoke, as was pointed out, a disclaimer is all that is evidently needed. But the fact still remains: "hard news" vs "spoof of news". comparing this piece to The Daily Show is a bit of a stretch. I didn't compare it to the Daily Show, but I would think that anybody with any ...

Re: FOX News mocks Canadian military . . .
one might think that unless they issued an apology, given that it was done under their broadcasting license, that it is their position. Not sure I understand that logic. I seriously doubt that you'd agree that Keith Olbermann's calling President Bush a facist means that President Bush is a facist i...

What a 'class act' from FOX News . . . [smilie=puking.gif] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS6cVJ5bFRc This show aired within hours of another four Canadian soldiers being killed by roadside bombs in Afghanistan.

I wish I had a link to show you, but I'll never forget the day we went to the Phillies game back at the Vet and they flashed up on the screen, "IF YOU CAN'T READ THIS, CONTACT THE MAYOR'S COMMISION ON LITERACY (215)***-****".

Re: American Legion Opposes President's Plan to charge wounded..
Is this the same Obama who, during the campaign, accused the Bush administration of "turning it's back on our veterans" or is this some other President Obama?
The looney left has always had contempt for our military and those who protect our freedom. Why should this be a surprise?

I do not think it is for us to judge why Jimmy and Jane made the decision to have their kids attend boarding school. I'm not judging them for it, but he's the one who chose to make it a topic for public discussion. Quality time outweighs quantity time I disagree. There is so much that goes on betwe...

Re: Jimmy's son Cameron
I'm a little confused about Buffett's children. He's said that they're all off at bording school (or attended boarding school) while he goes to play all over the world. I wonder how much time he actually spends with his children. For that matter, what's the point of adopting a child and then shippin...
