“The whole purpose behind funding faith-based programs is that they are, in fact, superior to secular programs. And the reason they are has everything to do with the inculcation of religious values disseminated by people of faith. No matter, Obama wants to gut the religious values and bar religious agencies from hiring people who share their religion. Hence, his initiative is a fraud.â€
Well, fuck, if Bill Donahue hates it, then I'm convinced Obama has the right idea.

Seriously. Reading that made me much less skeptical of Obama's policy.
Bumping this up again, just in case anyone was disappointed over this nontroversy. The kid was asking for a signature on his hand, and Obama declined saying the kid's mom wouldn't appreciate it.
McCain campaign a month ago: "hey, betch you haven't even BEEN to Iraq!"
McCain campaign today: "visiting Iraq is just a cheap political stunt!"
Sane World: .... While true, doesn't that kind of point out your infamous Market trip?
The whole thing was a trap set up by McCain. Didn't much matter what Obama did, but this is probably the politically safer move.
If you recall the nonsense surrounding McCain's Iraq trip nearly sank his campaign
Which nonsense?
McCain: Touring this Baghdad market, I can see that things are totally safe!
The Reality Based Community: Um, didn't you have like 100 soldiers as guards and 2 Blackhawks overhead while touring that market?
McCain: Shut up.
Though I don't think that was what nearly sank his campaign, it was more his lack of conservativeyness.
The market tour was pretty much when everyone was telling him to get lost.
If I ever get rich, I'm going to found a 24 hours news station which isn't completely retarded.
Which will go under in a year because it won't be retard-friendly.
Hence the rich modifier.
It will be kept afloat as a pet project of mine.
But...but programs on PBS are made possible by viewers like you! Just tell me you don't want an episode of Sesame Street brought to you by the letter O and also Jragghen?
Why is he holding the boy's wrist? If I walked up to some kid I just met, grabbed his wrist, and forced it into a terrorist fist jab, they'd arrest me!
So the non controversy over the fist bump snub was as usual an idiot making something up. How long until that gets added to the muslim email?
Bonus points if it refers to the bump as a terrorist fist jab before decrying Obama for not doing it to some wide-eyed tyke.

Isn't McCain the person who talked about how safe and normal it was while he had a ton of bodyguards protecting him?
And he said this:
General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed humvee. I think you oughta catch up. You are giving the old line of three months ago. I understand it. We certainly don’t get it through the filter of some of the media.
There was this CNN journalist stationed in Iraq who was almost speechless by the bullshit of the statement.
I honestly find myself confused how the WSJ manages to so closely marry paper of record status in terms of finance and world events with completely batshit editorial content.

And, if I'm not mistaken, he was confronted with that quote and claimed he never made it.

He seems to do that a lot. And it's a pretty sound strategy when no one will call you on it.

Maybe it's just something about NYC, because the Times has a similar problem.

Aren't they both owned by Murdoch? Or is it just the wsj that is?

New York Times is like...the quintessential "liberal" paper. Mostly because of its editorial page, if I'm not mistaken.
The Times isn't nearly as bad with the crazy editors as the WSJ, but I've seen some zany shit in there before.
I was listening to radio yesterday and happened upon a talk show where the host was ranting about Obama's "anti-capitalist" and "communist-sympathetic" ideas and policies. It's really sad how much of this country is still stuck in the Cold War.

Murdoch bought the WSJ a little while back. He put one of his cronies in charge.
Still it's important to note the WSJ's news and editorial staffs pretty much loathe each other.
The NYT's editorial staff is very..uneven. It varies quite a bit depending on who's writing the piece.

Yeah, seriously, PBS already exists.

Out of curiousity, I looked up Terrorist Fist Jab on Wikipedia.

I'm just happy that her idiocy resulted in her losing her show. At least there's some justice in the world, how ever small it seems some times.

It's owned by the Ochs-Sulzberger family.
Ahh gotcha, might have been confusing it with the post, someone said something her how the new york post and the washington post both suck equally.

Ah, yeah. New York Post is owned by Murdoch.
And they may have been talking about the Washington Times. I thought the Washington Post wasn't too bad. Washington Times is a Sun Myung Moon rag.
The New York Post and the Washington Times suck.
The New York Times and the Washington Post are good.
I doubt that the naming is coincidental.
