Every once in a while I slip, and I think, "surely there must be some meaning, some train of thought beneath the ever-onward march of crazy right-wing-o-ville. There must be some trail of rational thought that it follows, some basic idea in there somewhere that makes sense." I was a journalism major in the 80s, and we were trained to do that, to summarize statements into a newsbyte with details at 11.

And then I read stuff like this, and I realize there really isn't one. Greg Kelly isn't making a legal point, has nothing to say. This is just noise to keep people too stupid to watch FOX News angry. It doesn't even matter what they're angry about, as long as they buy whatever crap shows up during the commercials. It's just as well my old journalism teacher died young.

Now, if I were conspiracy minded, I'd check that guy out to see if he's been funded or supported by anybody. If.

The interesting thing is, on the tape, Ol' Swampy just says "Coke."

It is the one Emilio Esteves you don't have to be embarrassed about liking.

Except President Very Stable Genius likes to crime all day and guzzles Diet Cokes all day, so the chances he's criming and drinking Diet Coke at the same time are extremely high.
