Hey, I know about what you are saying since I had to work very hard to get my Masonic father to vote for Kennedy since he knew Kennedy would turn us over to the Pope. I won out, anyway. We voted for Kennedy because he was a Democrat and my wiser mother voted for Nixon because he was a Republican.
Ain'r it funny how politics works? I mean like me voting for all those men because they weren't socialists in my eyes. Nixon, Eisenhower, Bush I who I still don't like, Bush, and McCain. All of them because I thought all those Dem nominees were just too socialist.
You can't talk sense to someone who doesn't want to listen, which is what I find happens with most of the Fox viewers I meet.

You suffer from "voting against" syndrome, and it is a large part as whats wrong with our political system, and country as a whole. Vote for someone, and if you can't find someone to vote for, write in. Voting against Obama, or against Romney is simply not good enough, anymore.

While I wouldn't go so far as to say you must watch something. It's also not out of bounds to point out that it may hold some information one might find interesting. I might flip it on in between innings, if a game is on.

Come on know, that's right up there with the easter bunny.
I don't expect you to do anything, was simply posting a story I just received this morning from a co-worker? And now, I'm finding out, it's been posted before...so do I feel like a fool...no, as I just heard about it...
by the way, many thanks to all of you for telling me...

so, nothing gained, nothing lost...

The trouble is with Fox, and most cable news operators for that matter, is that they use half truths to connect the dots to things that aren't even in the realm of reality.

Like, "Obama went to college with a leftist professor" followed by "He is a communist".

One thing does not lead to another, and I have no doubt that this "documentary" will be much of the same. Then to come on a forum and say "you must set you DVR, this could bring down the whole administration...."

Kind of see where thats silly?

Ok. If you get any more stories from coworkers or anyone else in an email just toss it. Nothing "breaking" comes in an email. By the time you get it the darn thing has usually been around the globe and back a few times and changed details to suit whoever/whatever you want to target.

I had read somewhere that he enrolled in college under an assumed name? If it's true, why would you do that?
Another email?

Don't be stupid, Roy. Just check the schedule. It's actually on-line you know?

Because checking the schedule makes so much less sense than believing a three year old Internet rumor. That choice explains a lot about why you are almost invariably wrong about even the most non-controversial things.

And I am stunned that you actually believe the identical rumor that has been proven fake year after year after year is suddenly, this time going to happen. Really!! It really is this time!!! I promise.

That's the "official" schedule.

This "expose" will no doubt air on the super-secret, only-for-true-believers FOX channel. They only send the channel coordinates to those who have been initiated.
