"as usual we're here to talk about jobs, about protecting medicare and protecting the middle class. if you're here to ask a question about congressman weiner, i won't be answering any."

and what does cnn, fox and msnbc do? they cut away from the press conference. pathetic. according to the cable news networks, sex scandals are more important than jobs, the economy, wall street corruption, the conflict in afghanistan et al.

personally i could care less about any politician's private sex life: democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, libertarian, social democrat, whatever. mark sanford, john ensign, john edwards etc. who the fuck cares.

i hope social media will be the biggest influence on our next election ...

cnn, fox and msnbc? they promote the owners' agenda while balancing that with ratings...

When Thailand was burning and Nero fiddled, CNN(the one dispatcher of truth I felt I could count on) was totally and utterly full of shit. I need not mention FOX. And, yes, even BBC were full of shit of what was really going on.

There was not a "People's Reform" here if you happened to channel surf that melee that transpired last year. It was a rich(Thaksin) paying poor people to Protest. Stay tuned. Coming to a channel near you soon, if you're not careful.

The only channel that hit the REAL news, oddly enough, happened to be Thai channels.

And there was a new election last week...Oddly enough Thaksin's Sister was Elected...Imagine that. Blue Skies and Bright Lights lie ahead. Who said Cronyism is dead?

One nation under Oligarchy...FOR ALL
