    Zylos is right!

    Without hard working, media-savvy intellectuals like Zylos to keep the likes of the Olbermans in line, I can't imagine where this country would be today. I mean, come on! The Green Party is completely past its prime. Today, even Ralph Nader realizes that the real action is with the New American Progress Party of Youth (NAPPY). As part of their post-Libertarian, anti-Green agenda, they make it clear that Olberman's brand of mealy-mouthed hand-wringing flim-flam trickery is destroying not only decent American values, but our environment as well.

    Besides, everyone knows that in 2006, we can only believe what we hear on the 700 Club or in internet chat rooms. Keith, do us all a favor, go back to ESPN sports highlights, and just "put the biscuit in the basket."

    Selah.
