Excerpt:

It's no wonder George W. Bush has such contempt for the media. His cronies must laugh regularly about how easily they manipulate reporters.

HARPER MAGAZINE READY TO ADMIT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING MIGHTY FISHY ABOUT THE NOVEMBER ELECTION

First, even Harper's Magazine is now ready to admit that there was something mighty fishy about November's election. Their cover story in August is titled None Dare Call It Stolen - Ohio, the election, and America's servile press.

"FLU PANDEMIC: LETHAL YET PREVENTABLE"

Here's your daily dimesworth of difference between Bush's priorities and those of the guys who actually won the elections he stole.

I can think of many Dems and GOPs who would have done the same. -K
