…but I just have to say that I was astonished by the bias I heard in two different stories from Milwaukee NPR station WUWM in the last two days.
The first was about how John McCain commanded a training squadron after his time as a prisoner of war.
All the interviewees in the story said glowing things about John McCain’s leadership, cialis generic sales but somehow the tone of the story implied that John McCain was not a good leader. For example, viagra ampoule the story ended talking about how the squadron fell apart after McCain left. (And the point wasn’t that he was such a great leader that his absence was felt, here it was more that he failed to prepare the squadron to go on without him.)
Then, today, I heard the end of a story about how Barack Obama worked briefly in the financial world. My sense from that story was that Obama was prepared to fix the economy because he was passingly familiar with financial markets almost twenty years ago.
Again, I can’t link to the stories and I understand that my own biases may be affecting the way I heard the framing, but my honest response after both stories was, “holy crap, that was propaganda” – a response I very, very rarely have listening to pure news on NPR.

Keeping in mind that Barack Obama considers himself an expert in Constitutional law….do you think he’d nominate himself to the Supreme Court?
(Hell, cialis sale health I’d do it. Supreme Court justices are so powerful they make Presidents look like Vice Presidents.)

…I think Barack Obama really does think he hasn’t shifted to the center to try to broaden his appeal.
Having read his book, generic viagra store The Audacity of Hope, cialis discount I know that Barack loves to say that he understands and values the arguments of the Right, but in the end he’s always reliably liberal.
I don’t think the hard Left should worry too much. He’s just doing what he’s always done. Sorta say one thing, and always do another.

“I am sick of Republicans pronouncing Barack Obama’s name like it was some sort of cuss word, viagra canada cialis sale ” Mr. Strabone wrote in a manifesto titled “We Are All Hussein” that he posted on his own blog and on dailykos.com.
So like the residents of Billings, ambulance Mont., who reacted to a series of anti-Semitic incidents in 1993 with a townwide display of menorahs in their front windows, these supporters are brandishing the name themselves.
“My name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name,” said Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis, who changed her name online “to show how little meaning ‘Hussein’ really has.”
The movement is hardly a mass one, and it has taken place mostly online, the digital equivalent of wearing a button with a clever, attention-getting message. A search revealed hundreds of participants across the country, along with a YouTube video and bumper stickers promoting the idea. Legally changing names is too much hassle, participants say, so they use “Hussein” on Facebook and in blog posts and comments on sites like nytimes.com, dailykos.com and mybarackobama.com, the campaign’s networking site.
I think this “movement” should have been named “We Are All Insane”.
