I don’t have the energy to debunk Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane’s…

contention that the nearly unanimous black vote for Barack Obama had little to do with race, viagra sale discount but the fact that not every white voted for him is proof that whites are racist.

Instead, best viagra diagnosis I’ll just answer with the same word that appears three times in the first three paragraphs of his article: ridiculous.

Too little, too late.

The Washington Post’s ombudsman concludes that the paper did favor Barack Obama during the campaign:

The Post provided a lot of good campaign coverage, generic viagra rx but readers have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama. My surveys, purchase which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts.

In other news, it seems bears have been known to defecate in the forest.

Does a new day require a new Daily Show?

So, viagra usa health will Jon Stewart of The Daily Show be forced to start making fun of the same politicians he’s fawned over for the last couple of years?

After all, sildenafil treat isn’t his humor all about “speaking truth to power?”

Well, the Democrats have all the power now. Shouldn’t they be the new targets for his jabs and “genius?”

Or will he keep kicking the Republicans while they’re down?

Purple, my butt.

Headline in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: State turns deep shade of blue

In one history-making election, cialis sale prescription Wisconsin went from the purplest state in the nation to a deep, stuff wide blue.

A man of honor…

…is someone who can acknowledge that something is wrong even when he personally benefits from it:

I voted for Barack Obama and I’m glad he won. I hope he becomes a great president. Lord knows we need one.

Now the bad news. I’ve been thoroughly disgusted by press bias in his favor.

As someone who is a “communications professional, viagra canada physician ” I have a healthy regard for the difference between what I do in advertising — advocacy — and what the press is supposed to do — report facts.

Press favoritism has reached an outrageous and dangerous point in this country.

It was clear from the day he started running that the press was in Obama’s pocket. Anyone who couldn’t see that is either a fool or didn’t want to see it. I’ve included some links below but for those who just want the topline:

By 8 to 1 Americans think the press wanted Obama to win.
In the last months of the campaign, viagra sales cialis the press carried three times as many negative stories about McCain as about Obama.
I have every reason to believe that Obama is an honorable man. But what if the press decides to adopt someone who isn’t honorable? The fact that they rolled over for my guy gives me no solace at all.

We are living in a nasty, salve troubled world and we need the best press we can get. Instead, we have a bunch of arrogant, snotty, know-it-alls who believe we need their advice on how to think. They are tough on the people they don’t like and fawn on the people they do.

I have no use for the self-righteous, god-botherers of the Republican right. But they’re dead right about one thing — the “media elite” in this country are a fucking disgrace.

I’ve said it before, the way the press behaved in this election was absolutely despicable and did more lasting damage to our democracy than anything George Bush could have done over the last eight years.

Blacklisted instead of blog listed

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s new Editorial Page Blog lists six blogs from the left and six blogs from the right in Wisconsin:

ON THE LEFT

ON THE RIGHT

Notice anyone missing?

I think they need to start a “completely off the board” category and stick me and Nick Schweitzer on there.

Actually, buy cialis shop I was a little annoyed that I wasn’t listed, medical but I suppose the Journal Sentinel (like Wisopinion) are sticking to their policy of not quoting a blogger that doesn’t really exist.

(Isn’t that existism? Shouldn’t I be eligible for affirmative action or something?)
