    Except for two noticeable exceptions, Glenn . . .

    The near-total lack of coverage in the mainstream media about:

    1. Stolen elections

    2. the official cover up of the 9/11 attacks

    When we ask ourselves how it ever got this bad in eight years, I implore you, Glenn, to look beyond failed ideological and political tactics to the criminal rot in our voting system and in our national failure to examine (at least to the same extent as Europe, Russia and Japan) what really happened in the elections of 2000 and 2004; and what really happened on 9/11.

    What will it take for the blabbing to stop and for the truth to be confronted?

    The battle we are in has less to do with failed ideology and much more to do with our fellow citizens drowsing in the false comfort of American exceptionalism.
