Great article about the Daily Show ... which is my only source of TV news. The rest of the time I read about things on the internet, or get it over the FREE airwaves. Try it ... you'll be amazed at how much thinking for yourself is liberating.
If you can't tell, I'm a bit tired of being force fed what the networks TV folks want to feed me.

About politics and truth ...
Democrat v. Republican
Liberal v. Conserative
Good v. Evil
These are convenient labels that apply to the political process so that we can align ourselves to one camp or another. When will the madness stop? How do we really make a difference? How do we challenge these people in Washington DC to climb down from their pedestals and see what is really going on in the USA?
I have been listening to the campaigns of both Kerry and Bush for the 2004 election. Admittedly I haven't been listening that closely, but I have heard and seen some things that are disturbing and others that just don't make sense.
Kerry's Military Service:
If John Kerry's service was truly what these Swift Boat talkng heads claim it was, would they not be condemning themselves? One of the main detractors of Kerry's service earned a Bronze star based on the same event that they are claiming was false. His own account of the events (captured at the time during Vietnam) contradict what heh is now perpetuating.
Iraq War:
Rent the documentary called "Uncovered: The War On Iraq". It's a very good look into the PR machine that the Bush Administration is. The DVD has a collection of experts from many different areas (CIA, foreign ministers, weapons inspectors) and the information that they provide via interview is damning. I am a firm believer that our current president took our country to war based on lies and deciet. The facts speak for themselves. Iraq was never a threat to the USA. Iraq did not harbor terrorists. Black and white.
I have been looking for positive from the Bush administration. All I am faced with day in and day out is fear. I'm supposed to be afraid that a terrorist is going to harm me and as such I have to keep the people that are keeping me safe in office. They are somehow protecting me by wasting my tax dollars on a farse called the "Department of Homeland Defense". What has this department done other then raise and lower the terror threat level whimsically? I'm tired of the fear-mongering. I'm tired of the talking heads and talking points. Please ... please ... please ... stop!
I will do what I can to bring an end to the Bush monarchy ... er ... administration ... what about you?
