Elections lasting longer than four hours . . .

The liberal media is blocking advertising of Fahrenheit 9/11 on DVD. ABC, NBC, and CBS refuse airtime to distributor Sony during news broadcasts; some also ban the ads on news magazines and bubblegum "news" shows like Today. Sony makes the point that their target audience, adults, is hard to reach without access to time slots in news programming. http://www.laweekly.com/ink/04/45/deadline-finke.php It made me wonder what I would say to my kids, if they were still young, if they saw an erectile dysfunction commercial and asked, "Daddy, what's an erection lasting longer than four hours?"

Painting by numbers

Careful, you might be taking drugs from “a third world.” Might be the world W-Ya! lives in, I don’t know. Where’s the second world? Bush responding to an audience question, Friday night in St. Louis, about why he blocked prescription drugs from Canada, via U.S. drug makers . . . he’s afraid they might be dangerous, might come from “a third world.” I guess he forgot to say the word “country.” I might be wrong.

Ever wonder why Helen Thomas rarely is called on during one of W-Ya!’s rare press conferences? Probably not, it’s pretty clear. Now, why did we invade Iraq again? Has credibility lost credibility among voters polled? In this column Thomas scratches her head along with many of us. http://www.thebostonchannel.com/helenthomas/3788822/detail.html

One reports, the other decides and makes it look like a report.

Either this reporter needs to get out more and look around . . .

Or the New York Post should send one of its own to Baghdad to investigate The Wall Street Journal:
