I think the explosion of blogging along with all of the other media forms we have now, we are going to see a derangement syndrome with all presidents from now on. Things were rough with the Reps and Clinton, but then it just exploded when Bush was elected. Now Obama is in and it is just as bad. Tiresome I have to say.

Look, it's important for everyone to know that Obama is a Kenyan-born Islamo Marxist Nazi commie fascist oligarch community organizer.

And is married to a big, ugly, hateful, racist wife who has never been proud of the U.S.

The development of a substitute for traditional media is a wonderful development.

Without it, the WH narrative regarding Van Jones would be to continue to deny he is a 911 truther; however, we know through the blogosphere that in 9/11/2002 Van Jones gave a keynote address to a truther rally.

All I need are the facts. The MSM does not with frequency report the news: who, what, where, when, why and how. Seems editors run the papers and news anymore, and we as consumers get stuck with Op-Eds and slanted opinions disguised as news in lieu of what's really going on in the nation/world.

And in 2006, John McCain spoke at an ACORN rally, and you all saw fit to nominate him for President. If all you need are the facts, there are some...what do you make of them?

Indeed it is.

You are quite right only the blogsphere reports facts objectively and without interjecting opinion!

What in heavens are you talking about? Do you have some random ongoing conversation in your head that you occassional blurt out, leaving your audience confused as how its relative or relates to the ongoing discussion.

LOL. The so-called "blogosphere" is the nothing but the technolgical equivalent of 1950's stay-at-home-Mom's gossiping over the backyard fence. Yeah, some of those women were very intelligent and some very good and original ideas were discussed and debated while hanging the day's laundry out to dry. But 99.9% of it was pure schlock and drivel...just as is the case today...
