Noel Sheppard is an insufferable ass. NewsBusters is a cottage industry stocked by otherwise unemployable idiots living off the lie of the left-leaning American media.

Their stock in trade is "Imagine" - as in "Imagine if a Democrat (or Liberal) (or any other group they hate) had done/said/thought/felt..." Because such a claim has no basis in fact it has no limit to its applications.

They use "Imagine" more than John Lennon.

You got that right!

I used to post a bit on NewsBusters. Noel Sheppard threatened to ban me because I failed to toe the party line.

Wait, the wingnuts are now complaining because a corporate person chooses to send takedown notices only to violators they <em>don't like</em>? Why do they hate freedumb so?

In Germany in the late 1930's, two Jewish gentleman were sitting on a park bench.

One was reading the Jewish newspaper, the other a copy of the Nazi Party rag.

The gentleman with the Jewish newspaper asked his friend "Why do you read that? My paper has the truth. Times are horrible now. Our lives are in danger."

His friend replied "I read this paper to cheer myself up. It says Jews are running the world."

A good friend of ours has a small retail store. She used to play tapes and CD's. A representative of one of the music publishers (either BMI or ASCAP) visited her and told her she needed to purchase a license to play copyrighted music in a commercial establishment.
