How They Treat You When You've Said "Crazed"

Step forward and greet the truth, my friends, there's no need for a spiritual quest. But just remember, once it's handed to you, don't act like some petulant suburbanite just because it's not the truth you wanted but the only truth there is. Blame yourself. Yes, blame yourself, because you allowed your unskeptical head to be filled with assumptions and lies; pretty fantasies about a glorious utopia, and friends just beyond the horizon, put there by NewAgers who have never been in a fight in their lives and have no business acting as sentries.

I love this exchange. It's just swell. The ladies are getting nervous. The old man smiles.

Somebody better get him off soon.

We Were Sold Out (And It's Time For It To End)

"Many observers believe that the mainstream media could have blown Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign to bits over a single long weekend. A couple of hit pieces featuring Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Edward Said, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, the lost years at Columbia, ... well, you get the picture. Any of the big outlets could've put a stake in the heart of Obama's campaign with a single 20-minute segment of John Stossel presents: Barack Obama's Whackjob Friends.

So why didn't our world-class U.S. journalists explore Barack's background? In fact, the world wonders how our media could be so biased, so in the bag, so incredibly tilted that even the Saturday morning cartoons are mocking 'em. The answer is right in front of our noses.

• Senior Obama adviser Susan Rice (a former Clinton administration official) is married to Ian Cameron, the Canadian-born executive producer of ABC News’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

• NBC's David Gregory is married to Beth Wilkinson, a partner at Latham & Watkins in Washington and a former official in the Justice Department during the Clinton administration.

• ABC's George Stephanopoulos hosts a show bearing his name and earlier served as a senior advisor to the Clinton administration.

• Chris Matthews hosts MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews and served as a speechwriter for Jimmy Carter.

• David Gergen is a political analyst for CNN and served as a special adviser to President Clinton.

• Paul Begala is a CNN commentator ("[President Bush is] a high-functioning moron") and a former senior adviser to President Clinton.

• Bill Moyers is a journalist employed by PBS and was a press secretary for President Lyndon Baines Johnson. His son is a producer for CNN.

Put simply, there appears to be only a turnstile between a Democratic administration and a cushy media job. Perhaps that explains the disconnect. After all, career and spousal advancement come before integrity."

We need new pundits and journalists in this country - and I want to be one of them - but new voices can't be heard without your support, which should go to:

The Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time Players

Isn't it wonderful when the truth slips out? When the "spin" gives way? When, no matter how hard they try to keep it from us - which is the ultimate wrong in a presidential season - the whole of the American people are finally allowed to hear what the political operatives are really thinking? This admission is right up there with the one (also by Obama's people) that Obama's got a cult following.

Hell, deny it all you want, y'all, but it's clear the sickly health-conscience generation, known as Boomers, have a taste for greased pig.
