Tony Snow Dies...

[revolutionary8]

Every one of our greatest national treasures, our liberty, enterprise, vitality, wealth, military power, global authority, flow from a surprising source: our ability to give thanks.


George W. Bush broke a mold four years ago: Even though he lost the popular vote, he governed as if he had won by acclamation.


If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down.

In many cases, a bout with sickness stretches your soul, opens your eyes, and introduces you to a world of unimagined grandeur, possibility and joy.


In other words, Social Security is every bit as insecure as the stock market.


Investigators have discovered that dogs can laugh, which can't be too big of a surprise.


It is a common mistake these days to politicize anything and everything, including music.

It makes no sense to pack an auditorium with 5,000 people and then tell them to keep quiet.


It serves notice that President Bush is serious about promoting freedom, because free societies are a lot more peaceable than dictatorships and monarchies.

Many people don't give a rip about politics and know as much about public affairs as they know about the topography of Pluto.


Millions of Americans annually commit themselves to such good works, and no country on earth comes close to matching our record.


Pet lovers know that animals sometimes understand us better than we do, and the annals of human sin and desire provide plenty of stories to drive the point home.

Another one bites the dust..... Bush's puppets fall one by one....

Having been warmed up by the death of Tim Russert, the mainstream media now gushes over the death of "one of our own," Tony Snow. One of their own, indeed; a man who, like Russert, had the mechanical skills of real journalists, but lacked the one attribute that distinguished both from the likes of Mencken, et. al.: a passion for truth-telling. To so easily move from network studios to telling lies for the Bush administration - as Snow did - speaks volumes as to the sorry state of the MSM. While I can sympathize with those who lost a loved one - even if that person had been a politician - I cannot bear the continuing dishonesty that insists on following one of its practitioners to the grave.

It is noteworthy that both Russert and Snow died in their fifties. Perhaps a lifetime of being well-paid shills for the state took its toll upon the inner life; that charming smiles with which each peddled his statist wares to a gullible public, were not sufficient to overcome the erosion of those inner forces that others refer to as "karma."

Six days from today will be the 71st birthday of the late Hunter Thompson, a man with a genuine journalistic spirit. A number of us will celebrate his life by attending the movie about his life, "Gonzo." What a contrast that will be from what now flows from the cable news channels!
