The current leadership doesn't even give this lip service anymore. Hence, my contemplation of changing party affiliation.

Just give your money to Snowe, Collins, Chaffee, Shays, and McCain. (and maybe a couple of others.)

He's the chair of the judiciary committee, though. In the house, all that matters is being the chair.

Ah.

Why is it that the majority of americans see through this shit and vote intelligently, and Ty all his toadies don't see the bias?

You raise a good point. Similarly, the Pulitzer committee gave the award for fiction to Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, the story of a 76-year-old preacher from Gilead, Iowa. What about the rest of us who aren't old and don't live in Iowa?

Because they'll give it that lip service?

Equally telling is what the photos don't show:

• US forces looking heroic: 0
• US forces helping Iraqi civillians: 0
• Iraqis expressing support for US forces: 0
• Iraqis expressing opposition to insurgents: 0[/list]

You guys want to find liberal bias hiding under every bed. There is a reason none of the photos in those catergories won Pulitzers.

• US forces looking heroic: - forgot to take the lens cap off

• US forces helping Iraqi civillians: - batteries in the digital camera died,l didn't get the shot

• Iraqis expressing support for US forces: - got the picture, but one of the Iraqis was making bunny ears over the head of a soldier

• Iraqis expressing opposition to insurgents: - bad lighting

Were there any young characters in the novel?

You can't be that dense- can you?

AP submits 20 (that's 20) photos- they win! the 20 had the mentioned breakdown. You think your little fiction story means anything? Keep your head in the sand, but unless you change your outlook you may have to pull it out someday soon so you can dob at Mecca 3 times a day.

I don't know; I haven't read it. But I gave it to my mother, and she loved it. It made her cry.

No, but thanks for asking.

Maybe they picked photos with a theme, instead of trying to pick 20 photos that in the aggregate reflected the scope and diversity of our Middle East policy ("OK, let's find one of our embassy staff in Bahrein now."). Maybe the Pulitzer committee then compared those 20 to the sets of 20 photos submitted by other people and thought the AP's photos were the bestest, photographically speaking. I don't know -- I'm just sayin'.

For whom?

Them moderate Republicans don't ever seem to do much of anything. Like a wheelbarrow, they just keep getting rolled.

On the plus side, recent legislative developments may make this incredibly biased selection of photos "indecent" and subject to criminal prosecution. God knows that'll produce an informed electorate. Regards!
