Fun and to the point. People comparing freedom in USA with that of China should be ashamed.

Interesting numbers, supporting the general feel (from my perception) out there that Sen. Clinton is too controversial for both sides in many of her political issues. President Obama and Vice President Edwards looks more like the safe ticket every day. (And would personally delight me considering all I've heard spoken from Mr. Obama. He appears a uniter to me.) I'm also both confused and irritated by the continuous high rankings of Mr. Giuliani. (You thought Bush was bad. This is Bush with brains.)

He's comparing NPR with corporate-controlled purely-for-profit consolidated media corporations like Murdoch's infamous News corp? I stopped reading right there.

Isn't it an obvious flaw in the system when some parts of the legislature can take childish advantage of the other parts' absence? Grow up!

Courageous reporting on the part of the Washington Post on a potentially heated political issue. (Federal Agents raiding such an insignificant, in economic terms, group says quite a bit of the political level of where this was decided.) I wouldn't have expected this from such a right-leaning newspaper, but yet again, Washington Post continues to gain credibility in my book.

Bush's last quote seems only a desperate attempt of more fear-mongering. I think the last election shows the American people have had enough of that. Certainly the quote holds a lot of truth, but it's not very far-sighted, which his policies the last 6 years have repeatedly shown is precisely the case. The last paragraph speaks clearly what's at stake.
