I really don't agree with everything but he is a great presenter. Also interesting is the fact that he said as much about the state of affairs in the world as BinLaden, referring to sensitivity training and low self esteem, needing counselling and compensation. They probably should've dragged BinLaden's ass back to NY for trial, this would let people know for sure he is dead, and nobody in the world would be bitching. Of course they might not want to do that because of Saddam. That fucker had more ties to US politicians than fucking General Electric. So did BinLaden. Neither one is talking now. I would carry little or no dissent concerning the elimination of Saddam or BinLaden had they been put in power by Arabs. But the fact is that they did not choose either of those "leaders" for themselves. WE DID. But, back to the subject, this guy is good. Unfortunately the news media here would not think he is good at selling drugs, new cars and auto insurance, which is the chief function of the US media today. It just dawned on me, I get more news from overseas than here. Between dailymail UK, Haaretz, the BBC....... Well Huffpo is in the US right ? AFP certainly is but it's not normal media, in fact I am reluctant to quote it here, someone might get hurt. T^T

OH and we have ditto heads believing shit like this from el rushbo Rush Limbaugh has gotten a lot of mileage out of his claim that volcanoes do more harm to the ozone layer than human-produced chemicals. He featured it in his best-selling book, The Way Things Ought to Be (paperback edition pp. 155-157): "Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines spewed forth more than a thousand times the amount of ozone-depleting chemicals in one eruption than all the fluorocarbons manufactured by wicked, diabolical and insensitive corporations in history.... Mankind can't possibly equal the output of even one eruption from Pinatubo, much less 4 billion years' worth of them, so how can we destroy ozone?" Limbaugh calls concern about the ozone layer: "balderdash. Poppycock." The only people who worry about it are "environmental wackos," "dunderheaded alarmists and prophets of doom."

When one is to the right of El Duce,most everyone else seems like a flaming liberal.
