Greater American: Louis Vuitton or Louis Pasteur?

I am beholden to you all to admit a lapse in my best judgment. A cloud of self-doubt and self-loathing have hovered over me since I began to write this history. A certain diatribe I recorded here in March, titled "a penny for my thoughts - no refunds", opined what seems to be support for oil drilling in the ANWR in Alaska. It also went so far as to describe that Sean Hannity's radio show was the source of my external cues for reason. Maybe that very fact has been the one troubling me so. To agree with Sean Hannity is to loathe yourself. I have since reexamined my previous disposition, and as a result, do oppose drilling in ANWR. Unable to retract my statement because of its record in history, or perhaps a more general sense of laziness, the feelings of self-resentment lingered. Through the normal regiment of my daily enlightenment, I found my mirror of fallacious suggestion, which I fired upon several times with a high-powered hand cannon, and relinquished my captious villain to pieces. There was something eerily familiar about the piece I was reading on the Internet. Headline: Hannity, Interior secretary presented misleading claims on ANWR drilling as "fact". Then the date. March 10, 2005. In a fit of perseverance, I checked the archives and, sure as racism, the date of my indiscretion was March 9, 2005. I felt the cloud, heavy as lead, consuming. And then ... laughter. Reason suggests one should be wary of a liar's assertions, but in a mayhaps overzealous attempt to hear another point of view, intuition abandoned me, sipping a sloe gin fizz out on the back porch. Left vulnerable, I was raped by misinformation. But, the wounds have found that metaphysical salve: the Truth. In all of its glory.

Media Matters for America is a great asset in the Domestic Battle to The Death Against Blatent Misrepresentation of The Truth in The Mass Media. The blinding celestial light of evidence and its product shines right through the blood-stained lies. And that's The Shit.

Chicken Fries? Bush has spent 20% of his presidency on vacation at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. If they don't have pineapple, I'll get strawberry. A four-star Army general was relieved of his command for allegedly having an extramarital affair, as he finalized his divorce. No one of greater rank than Staff Sergeant has been disciplined in any way for the torture scandals in foreign prisons. Che?
