You asked for my profile. I'm an American with a different viewpoint than most of you here.
I don't believe that the government is inherently evil or stupid. I don't believe that the media is weak and simply a mouthpiece for an administration. I don't believe taking action against enemies is a bad thing. I don't believe that our system of checks and balances is dead. I don't believe that the Constitution is in danger.
I believe that people like Glenn believe what they say but also are more interested in building a name for themselves and would absolutely take a position in the MSM if it came to them.

That's not a profile. That's opinions. It has nothing to do with answering the question about your profile. Profile might be your age, for example, which seems to me to be around 14. I say that because your comments have the thought processes of someone who is maybe 6 or so. That is an insult to most six year olds, and 14 year olds, but I don't how else to describe what I see in your comments.
Anyway, I wasn't asking you to repeat the same tripe you put into your posts when I asked for your profile. I can't tell if you knew that or not because...see above.

Tibby's Benefit...
[Read the article: Our rotted press corps, a division of "Camp Victory"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'll give the service men the benefit of the doubt that what they say is accurate. But it isn't the whole story.
-- tiberius
Was the Pentagon and the Army "accurate" and honest when they passed on a false story about how Pat Tillman was killed? Was the media doing their job when they passed on the story?
Was the Pentagon "accurate" when they told the heroine story of Jessica Lynch which turned out to be completely false? As was the story about Pat Tillman?
The vast majority of the MSM passed on these two false stories. Were they doing their jobs and being "accurate" in their falsehoods?

Or to put it another way, Paul: there's a big difference between Glenn having his finger on the pulse, and of Ann's having her thumb up her...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]There's a word for those that embrace failure, "losers".
-- shooter242
Does that comment from you help explain why you are still here? After all, lesser men or women would have moved on by now after having been incessantly exposed as a failure in the arena of logic from day one to the present day.
Are you trying to compare the imbecilic mind of George W Bush to the great minds of Thomas Edison and the others that you mentioned?

@Bebop-o about Arlo and Judy
[Read the article: Various items]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mountain Stage was live with Judy Collins in Boston Massachusetts. I must listen to her new "Wildflower Festival" 8- track disk?
--bebop-o
No, Bebop-o, I'm pretty sure that has gone all the way to cassette availability. Possibly even CD form.
Arlo Guthrie tells it like it is on there in the same way as he did wayyyyyyyy back in his Alice's Restaurant days. Arlo sounds danged near exactly the same with his odd speaking meter.

Popular Culture?
[Read the article: Various items]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Moreover, given the preference for authoritative violence over "core liberties" in action movies (Dirty Harry, Die Hard, etc.) and cop shows on television, one could also argue that the Southern view has become mainstream popular culture.
Entertainment and "popular culture" are Intertwined in more ways than Dirty Harry. Actual education, and "There's Something happenin' here' type documentary of real live (aka, the real world) are not in the basement of "popular culture". See the popularity of Fahrenheit 9/11, and now Sicko as examples of immense successes on "popular culture". If going to the movies is your idea of "popular culture", then you must know that Dirty Harry is old news, and Die Hard 4, 5, 6 and 7 are somewhat stagnant - even if money is to be made from blowing stuff up on screen.

tibby and "High Level Stuff"
[Read the article: Our rotted press corps, a division of "Camp Victory"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]kitt...
you're right about the 14 year old level of my writing here. It's annoying, but anything more than that would be wasted on people like you and the others here.
I save the high level stuff for my job and my family.
Please feel free to make insults about them now.
-- tiberius
Not a matter of "level" tiberius. It's a matter of lack of logic and ability to connect dots. Many 14 year olds 'write' way better than I do or some of the other commenters on this site. So my opinion of you and your writing is based on what the contents of your comments say about your inability to think rationally. Not your inability to write 'well' about what you think.
You should stop saving the "high level stuff". It's good practice to use any "high level stuff" you might have as often as possible and in any venue where the opportunity to practice using your "high level stuff" presents itself.

No disagreement here on that.

Cotton Candy
[Read the article: Various items]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Kitt, Do YOU like Farris Wheel rides? I hope?
--bebop-o
I like ferris wheels. Tibby and Shooter have made clear how scared they are of most everything, including what they fear is hiding under their respective beds. So it's a good bet that they're both scared of ferris wheels as well. So they're not likely to have the nerve be around to steal corn dogs and cotton candy at the ferris wheel.
