you are not talking about the clear and present mistruths in Ms. Palin's book.

No. And they won't. They have to talk about the number of people looking for lies in Palin's book as though that were the significant fact.

Certainly, there are enough hacks on the right-wing side…

Sarah Palin's is the only one that I have ever heard of that was 'fact-checked' by the media just to dig for dirt.

Prospectors dig for gold where they expect to find it. And Palin's book is a veritable gold mine.

For example, he says you shouldn’t sing in the bathroom. I agree with him. He says it’s anti-socialist to be in a Jacuzzi, 100%. I have tiny soaps, not too bad,” he said, drawing laughter from the audience.

This brings back memories of the Woody Allen movie, Bananas, in…

Besides, I believe the Japanese find this behavior somewhat amusing and odd to have Obama bowing as low as he did. I found it a little gauche and know Akihito may have been embarrassed by it all; not impressed. Most Japanese don't expect bowing from foreigners anyway. Bowing is…

Funny, I have a Persian friend who constantly tells me that the US overblowing of the hostage crisis...

To overblow means to make too much out of. Your friend is suggesting that the U.S. made too much out of the fact of an embassy being siezed and Americans being…

Look at Obamas most recent efforts to sideline Fox as an example of how much the Libs hate and fear Fox.

Spending 4 or 6 months to consider a troop request isn't careful consideration its ducking a decision.

If the 4-6 months involved nothing significant changing within the country -- something like, say, a national election -- then it could be considered ducking a decision.

Better a good decision in…

Allowing entry into the US of the exiled Shaw [sic] was one of the primary bones the Iranian students and their government supporters had to pick with Carter's administration. That's all I've said about it.

And that is what is called "minimizing." The reduction of selective historical "facts" in…
