I really get a kick out of reading their knee-jerk tear-jerking libaral
crap, like stories of starving Ethiopians and disastar victims and poepal
living in their oan shit, all framed by $10,000 wristwatch and $6,000,000
condo advartismants. It shows how much they REALLY CARE.

So they take money from people who want to advertise their goods...to
pay for stories their readers want to hear about...and the free-market
conservative is complaining? Suddenly, the magical, infallible free
market is in BAD TASTE? When did that happen, when an occasionally-
liberal newspaper tried it? All at once, you've discovered
sensitivity? Dude, you're killing me...

I would think taking money from those same people, and then NOT
reporting on starving Ethiopians, would be the failing. You know, like
the Wall Street Journal. Or the New York Post.

I assume you know this, but companies often pay a premium for the
right to place their ad within the paper. They often pay more to have
it on a certain near-the-front page, or for "no further back than Page
X." And in a broadsheet like the NYT, they pay double for above the
fold, where the pressing stories that catch readers' eyes are. So the
placement was probably not even unnoticed, let alone a conscious
decision.

Conservatives are really funny. Insane wars, unheeded terrorism
warnings, untended flood victims, mass job flight, wiretapping and
outright jailing of political enemies--none of these even register on
the conservative's Rage-o-Meter. But if a liberal cuts a fart, it's
"OH MY GOD, THE HYPOCRISY! YOU TALK ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING AND THEN
RELEASE FILTHY METHANE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE! LIBERAL HYPOCRITE!
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Hoo-hah!

After the last eight years, I need no rightard urine to get me going.

Why do you pose this poignant and yet asinine query?

In I think the last issue of Time, they were calling for
war with Burma.

They think that war is 50 minutes, with 10 minutes left
for commercials, or something.

i don't expect you'd be sufficiently bored to look up the columns of
Andrew Bolt. he writes for the Australian Herald-Sun, and is a, well,
actually, he's rather juvenile when it comes to ragging on the people he
doesn't like. his latest column was chock-full of sound effects.
