		<description>The last substantial article was back in July about the geography of Alaska.  At the time I made my comment, I believe it was a valid point which has since been mitigated.</description>

		<description>Mmm, yeah, because SEIU and ACORN totally have as much outreach and visibility as Fox News.  

Question:  when was the last time Fox News did anything positive for the average, everyday workers of America, as opposed to the rich, fat cats that fund it?</description>

		<description>Does your political bias trump your ability to use the search function?

You&#039;ll find posts about that if you care to look for them, there aren&#039;t going to be new posts about Sarah Palin every day.</description>

		<description>For a blog such as this that sees sexism everywhere.. I&#039;m surprised there has been no mention of the dehumanizing attacks by the Left on Sarah Palin.

Does your political bias trump your concern about sexism?</description>

		<description>The &quot;conservative echo-chamber&quot; is like a tin cup compared to the State Run Media echo chamber.

here they are excusing Tim Geithners tax cheating:

(From Rush Limbaugh transcript)

KERRY: It is possible to make an innocent mistake. I think this is an honest mistake.

CROWLEY:  The transition team put out a lengthy list of reasons why this was just an honest mistake. 

BORGER: ... I would not describe as a huge mistake.  

HENRY:  It is a common mistake.

KING:  Maybe an honest mistake.  

ALTER: It does seem to be a honest mistake.  

SHUSTER: He made a common mistake on his taxes.

BARNES: Yes, it is a common mistake.

STODDARD:   The Obama administration is saying it&#039;s a common mistake.

HARWOOD:   It is being described as an honest mistake.  

VIEIRA: ...Geithner&#039;s tax problems, honest mistake...

BROKAW: This does look like an honest mistake.

MITCHELL: An honest mistake...

STEPHANOPOULOS: This was an honest mistake, fairly common. Geithner himself is embarrassed by this and he&#039;s sorry.

===================

The aftermath of the Holocaust Museuem shooting (Funny, no calls to not jump to conclusions)

LAUTER: Clearly Obama&#039;s election has fueled the right-wing extremist movement.

MATTHEWS: This is a political action by a far right extremist

COOPER: The rise of hate groups in the United States of right-wing extremists.

OLBERMANN: Right-wing religious based domestic terrorism.

BROWN:  Right-wing extremism.

WALSH: There is a rising climate of right-wing hate, a lot of it directed at Obama.

RUSH:  See how this is being set up and it&#039;s all very predictable, but the truth is just the opposite of this, which I&#039;ll get to in just a moment.  Here now is Hillary Clinton this morning at the State Department.

HILLARY:  It&#039;s a terrible tragedy. The kind of hatred that the killer evidenced over many years toward different groups within our society is deplorable, and I hope that we will be able to send out a clear unmistakable message that hateful rhetoric, violence based on any kind of discriminatory attitude towards any group in The United States is not acceptable.

======================================
RUSH: Let&#039;s go to a montage we have here of Drive-By Media trashing Joe the Plumber.

BRIAN WILLIAMS: (dramatic music) What do we know about this plumber named Joe?

JOHN BERMAN:  It doesn&#039;t actually appear he&#039;s a licensed plumber, and, it does appear there are some issues about past taxes.  There are records of a tax lean filed against Joe!

WYATT ANDREWS:  The man whose personal story steered a presidential debate over taxes, owes some $1,200 in back taxes.

DAVID &quot;RODHAM&quot; GERGEN:  When we found out he was Sam the Non-plumber, it changed a little bit. (snicker) Why the McCain team didn&#039;t vet the guy...

ROLAND MARTIN:  Joe, you know, the fake plumber...

ANDERSON COOPER:  Joe is not actually a licensed plumber.  He admits he&#039;s not making anywhere close to a quarter million.  His name is actually not Joe; at least that&#039;s not his first name.  His name is Sam: Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher.

CHRISTOPHER HAYES:  There&#039;s this tremendous gap between the mythical creature of Joe the Plumber and the actual real-life guy, and we see this time and time again.  Sarah Palin is a perfect example.</description>
