It's a conservative paper, so they must be lying?

Being naive and sophomoric is not the way to go through life.

@CountryClubRepublican: Oh, it's not just a conservative paper. It's a conservative paper run by the Korean reincarnation of Jesus Christ, who also happens to be a convicted tax fraud who marries thousands of strangers at a time and makes people who belong to his church work for free.

That's funny, I have an algorithm in my brain that matches up Washington Times, mass weddings and dead people with poisoned Kool-Aid frothing out of their mouths. And that's just their foreign affairs desk.

I'm kind of thinking the same thing here as many of you. I can understand a computer pulling the pic, but who the fuck doesn't at least glance at their product before allowing it to publish? It just kinda smells like horseshit to me.

@the cajun boy: An aside, I enjoy your posts. Don't get me wrong.

I just don't agree with this one.

@rudolphdude: No, if anything malicious was involved, it's to link the idea of "oh man Chicago is such a crime-ridden corrupt place" to the Obama Administration. No one would interpret this as "wanting Obama's kids to be murdered", but to link in reader's minds "crime" with Obama.

@rudolphdude: No not at all...I'm thinking it might be someone's idea of a tasteless joke. Trust me, I'm not suggesting widespread conspiracy.

Great timing. The fact that The Washington Post couldn't figure out how to launch a political blog before the presidential election speaks volumes about what's wrong with newspaper companies.

Politico -- and Talking Points Memo for that matter -- have indeed shown how political blogs can break stories and set the agenda. But it's really not clear whether they -- or the Washington Post for that matter -- will be able to finance that coverage. We found it really hard to sell any advertising on Wonkette -- tho advertisers might have been the assfucking references as well as the downer political content. And the subscription-based political news services tend to be small businesses, little more than newsletters.
