The United States, which is currently engaged in a complete war against some weird guy with a website, is going to host "World Press Freedom Day," the Department of State announced today. They're all especially excited about protecting the flow of digital news, which is why Washington is "concerned about the determination of some governments to censor and silence individuals, and to restrict the free flow of information." LOL. This is the same Department of State (and Justice Department and Pentagon and CIA and NATO and PayPal) trying everything to cut off WikiLeaks' access to the Internet and its own money. Washington is also, at this moment, planning to extradite Julian Assange if it can figure out what the Swedes want. Where is Sweden, anyway?
Is that Christine O'Donnell in that screen capture? Or am I just going through wingnut withdrawal from not seeing her on tv every day and imagining that I'm seeing the bitch everywhere?

State Department, this is unacceptable.
&quot;Media&quot; is the plural. &quot;Medium&quot; is singular. Like data/datum.
The diplomatic corps should set a higher standard than, say, Meghan McCain. A free press is important, but so is agreement of subjects and predicates.

No no no! They&#039;re talking about porn. Now it makes sense right?

Are we sure that &quot;press&quot; doesn&#039;t mean &quot;apply pressure to bring something to an end&quot;?
I hear there&#039;s a crack team available.
