They influence (or reflect - hard to tell where the circle starts) ReichWing thought, and with it, not only the Repugnicant party but the idiot conservadems. And it continuously throws red meat to the very vocal faithful, who then get reported on what passes for real news outlets, Trabaggers, anyone? Not only can Old Rupe well afford this investment; he gets his return in ways other than high viewership or immediate financial payback. He is in the righteous business of corrupting hearts and minds. Bleeech! JzB Murdoch's propaganda machines don't have to make money.

Now, that's a billion $ vanity project of dumb. And frankly, I still don't get what Rev Moon has on Bush pere, why do he and Bitchface Barbara always show up to their hilarious shenanigans, like when he crowned himself king of the seas or what have you? Cuckoo! It's true, though, in a way, Moon does control a frighteningly large proportion of the world's sushi grade tuna. Actually, "mass", the Washington Times, like UPI, is owned by the Moonies.

They couldn't have. Have you priced beer and cigarettes lately? NASCAR bling? Besides, with those 10 copies of Sarah Palin's book they bought for friends and family (even at the discounted price of $9) money is tight. FauxNews itself only draws an average audience per day half that who watch Judge Judy yell at defendants and plaintiffs alike. Not so good.

And Lou Dobbs, jobless once again, will decide to take the fight to the enemy, and parachute himself into Ciudad Juarez. I look forward to news reports about a bedraggled, incoherent Dobbs roaming the streets, extolling the superior virtues of Mexican coke. S.E. Cupp? Is that for real? Who else works there? Hugh G. Reckshen?
