Puppy Pride
The entire week of campaign coverage was unwittingly summed up without a hint of irony by Chris Matthews's substitute on MSNBC's Hardball. "Why," he asked the Republican and Democrat strategists who were his guests, "with all the important things going on in the world -- Iraq, the economy, gas prices -- are we spending all our time talking about the so-called "race card?" "Because," I wanted to scream at him, "you're the dork who brought it up." There actually was a full day when the media didn't obsess about Obama 's and McCain's sniping. That was Tuesday, the day the "Big One" hit Los Angeles, and the news was dominated by coverage of skin cream bottles that had fallen off the shelf of a Wal Mart.

I am far away in the land where the gypsies play and the river is no longer blue, nevertheless I follow you drawings and your commentaries with all the enthusiasm of an incorrigible tourist of the mind. Here in the Old World the politicians who control the state television channels have not yet caught on to the fact that if you fill all the waking hours with pundits who talk and talk, who one day play the race card and next day deny they have, then the distracted and easily bored populace will be so sodden with useless debate that they will not rise as one man or wo-man and remove those who govern corruptly from power. America, for all her faults, has always been the forerunner. Once upon a time there were no supermarkets other than the A&P (appropriately Atlantic and Pacific); now the supermercato has invaded all these shores. How many years will it be, I ask myself, before the Talking Heads rules the world? Unlike what Orwell predicted, it will not be Big Brother who will do us all in. It will be the Chris Mathews’.
Amen.
Yes... I don't know why people don't just cut to the chase and elect Rupert Murdoch (grin)
