For those of you dependent on the lamestream media....

Dec 26, 2009 30 Replies

Depending on the news item I will check a range of sources. For TV I have BBC and CNN. CNN gives much better coverage of Europe/world news for example. But the net is now my main source.

The BBC TV and radio suffers the same problems as most MSM. More interested in celebrity and trivia than actual news. And too much of the news is politically correct.

For example they started calling Burma Myanmar because that nice bunch of generals prefered that name. Then the generals let thousands die in a cyclone a year ago and now they are no longer nice and the BBC calls it Burma again.

It all went well... absolutely great!

Only thing stressful... son-in-law-to-be's parents are our same age, but they ACT old :-(

I still thinks like an 18-year-old, then I falls asleep ;-) ...Jim Thompson

How would they extinguish fire without blankets or pillows?

Well, airports and planes are already a lot like places of detention. As if terrorists couldn't attack shopping malls, schools, churches, theatres, etc.

Just provide enough of free alcohol. Besides, jetlag combined with hangover will help questionning at the border.

the shoe bomber lit his shoes so now they make us take off our shoes

this guy lit his pants..

I found it amusing that the media decided he had to have help because..get this.. he had a cover story all ready that he "had a stomach ache". I laughed my a** off... my 4 year old can come up with a cover story like that..

Also this shows that Homeland security and all the inspections are nearly a waste of time and money... the authorities were warned about this guy, and yet he was able to board a plane ..

in the end, an informed public took matters into their own hands and saved their own butts,, that's they way it should work..

No, they need a way to toss them off the plane without depressurising the cabin.

Greed is the root of all eBay.

Just watching the leftists stumbling all over each other to ensure that this latest terrorist is tried under a criminal complaint, rather than as an enemy combatant, I come to a conclusion...

Leftists and Democrats stick together like flies on a pile of horse s*it. ...Jim Thompson

They're in denial over the nature of the threat.

For one, they can't conceive any 'sane' person could possibly take religion 'that seriously' (if at all) and, of course, most people are 'sane' ergo these must be 'isolated incidents' despite all evidence to the contrary.

The far left has essentially taken over the Democratic Party despite their majority being achieved by running candidates espousing a 'conservative', or at least moderate, appearance.

Pelosi doesn't want other members of her own party 'reading the bills' any more than she wants Republicans, or the people, reading them.

There are lunatics of all persuasions. For example the assassin of Yitzhak Rabin. They are not heard of much because mostly, the Jewish state does much of the work on their behalf.

I deplore the antics of the Taliban and found the film of the religious police whipping women in the street distressing. However at least they are open in comparison to the torturers in Guantanamo who waterboarded some suspects hundreds of times and then, to protect themselves destroyed the film. Those men are just as evil.

Not at all. Republican abortion doctor shooters are commonplace.

If you weren't a liar you'd have nothing to say.
