It’s not the alternate opinions from the [I]other side[/I] – on everything from healthcare reform to the situation in Afghanistan – that’s givin’ me the [I]booboojeebies.[/I] It’s The Stupid – the unbearable, smack-your-forehead, roll-on... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/NanceGreggs/534 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:21:02 I made a terrible mistake tonight. I turned on a TV news network – or what passes for one in today’s melange of mainstream mediocrity – and listened.

What I heard was appallingly mindless and shockingly superficial – and I realized that my country’s story is being told, as it unfolds on a minute... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/NanceGreggs/533 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:55:05 A rightwing acquaintance recently sent an email with a link to the following, [link:www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=736154|“Christians on high alert over hate crimes passage”], adding the query “Is this one more nail in the coffin of Christianity?”
