That's where Germany attacked the US and drew us into the
Spanish-American War.

"Remember the...starts with "M" ...Merrimack"

Half the kids in my 1977 High School history class drew a line (east to
west) across Asia, Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, North America, and out into
the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii - to show the route Japan used to attack Pearl
Harbor. Some went around Africa and South America because they knew it had
something to do with aircraft carriers.

They didn't know that Japan moved her entire attack force throught the
Panama Canal, huh?

Yup, flat map - US on the left, Japan on the right.

Flat map -- flat earth!!

Right! What's the problem?

Isn't that why all our aviation maps are flat?

I thought that it was because globes are so tough to fold.

Hey, I'm with you on this.

Too much of this "It's the other guy's job to be honest" stuff in
corporate America, as far as I'm concerned.

And the free market is fast destroying honest journalism, which once
upon a time we could depend on to reveal the machinations of
deceptive government and dishonest business.

Unfortunately, the Fox News model seems to be growing rapidly
dominant. Shill for anybody as long as it turns the most profit.



I gotta call BS here...

The "traditional" broadcast networks were (and are) capable of being slanted
themselves...while being commercial enterprises. Don't hang it all on FOX.

It took FOX (right leaning though they may be...) to show that the status
quo had been leaning the other way for quite some time.

Even when we did a story on the flight school I trained at, and I pointed
out a number of glaring errors long before deadline, they were not fixed.
Among other things, it "sounded better" to say "license to fly" when the
student had only soloed.

Sorry, I don't see what's inaccurate there. A solo endorsement *is* a
license to fly (but not with passengers). Why not refer to it as such?

There was a time that the TV news departments were separate entities,
and not answerable to the commercial side, and did not have to fear
offending the commercial interests.

That all changed, and the networks are now almost as bad as the news
channels, although probably less so.

60 Minutes caved in to the tobacco interests back in the days of the
guy (forget his name) who ratted out one of the tobacco companies,
because they feared a huge lawsuit. They lived to regret it.

About the only real journalism that's left is the Lehrer New Hour on
PBS, where you can actually get two civilly presented sides of real
issues.

Unfortunately, Bush and Co are loading up the CPB governing board with
their right-wing cronies, and we will soon be treated on public TV
to staged news conferences and shlled performances where hand-picked
audience members ask pre-screened softball questionsin an attempt to
make a moron president look like he knows what he is talking about.

Heaven knows what we will do for real news after that.

President Bush will hold a (prime time) news conference Thursday at 8:30
p.m.

These things need to be approached with extreme caution - pizza (cold/hot
your choice) and much, much, much ice cold beer in the freezer will be
needed. BTW, 29 F beer (in bottles) can be thrown down quicker than normal
40 F refrigerator beer ...useful tip for emergencies like this.

Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush - doesn't matter:
Recliner, remote, friends, beer, pizza, beer, pizza.

"My Fellow Americans ....."
Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer.


Montblack
Anyone going to eat that last piece of pizza?

Recliner, remote, friends, beer, pizza, beer, pizza.

Feh.

The two things that go with pizza are red wine (syrah, shiraz, petit
syrah, or most Italian reds) or orange juice.

Yes, orange juice. Try it.

Ick.

Ok, I'll try it, but I have severe doubts.

Ever tried shrimp as a pizza topping? Delicious.

There was never such a time. CBS News in the time of Edward R. Murrow was
subject to sponsor created heat from time to time.
