You Know Times Have Changed When Fox News Blows Off Osama Bin Laden
You know times have changed when Fox “News” dismisses a tape released by Osama Bin Laden — as their news reader just did — so they can cut to the case of a missing Yale University student.
But still, let’s not forget the recent past and how Fox (w/the Bush administration’s blessing) terrorized us for years by keeping images like this on-screen 24/7:
We’re the “Greatest Nation On Earth”?
While we screw around talking about birthers and the Tenth Amendment, ceding, and shooting ourselves in the foot over health care, Denmark has dealt with all of that already. Denmark has moved on to — get this – building superhighways for bicycles.
They’ll have the last laugh. We think we’re the “greatest nation on Earth?” We look like barbarians in comparison.
The Difference Between 70,000 Protesters and 2,000,000 Protesters
Yesterday I read somewhere that the Washington, D.C. fire department estimated the crowd at the tea party protest to be in the neighborhood of 70,000. I also read that one of the organizations that helped put on the rally estimated the attendees at 1.5 million. Then today I read that Michelle Malkin is claiming 2 million. The difference between 70,000 and 2 million is huge. Check it out.
I tend to think the fire department, albeit a socialist commie pinko entity, is the more reliable source here.
