Forget Osama bin Laden, grumbles one House Republican. The real enemy is sitting in a fancy corner office in some corporation, figuring out new ways to cook the books. I want this person named. Get a backbone yourself and put a name behind your words.

I'd like all of them to get a backbone. The republicans are doing a great job of playing rope-a-dope. They let the Dem's pummel them on stuff that occured for the most part when Clinton was president without one decent argument. You can't control the house or senate without having a vision for the country, the republicans have a vision but are afraid to articulate it. So sad, all the popularity from the war on terror goes down the drain because the republicans can't or won't fight back.

Never, ever lose sight of the fact that the media can and do make things up. Unlike other businesses that can be sued for defective products, malpractice, or malfeasance, the media is essentially above the law. There are no consequences to anything they do on the air or in print. They can hide behind anonymous sources and we, the public, will never know if the source ever really existed, or if what the reporter claimed is actually a lie, or if it was a composite made up from bits and pieces of info from several sources. Always take such anonymously sourced statements with a heavy dose of cynicism.
