    @daveyjonesisdead: Wrong post. You'll need to go back down the hall towards President Obama (you'll see him charming a fat turkey), and look for the first post on your left. Be careful - Martha Steward is helping Jack Torrance look for his son; it would be best to smile politely and scurry past.

    Great post, Pareene. Keep shining a light on the deceit and obfuscation.

    Sadly, it seems that Fox "News" (and the Republicans in general) are the Jedi masters of self-fulfilling prophecy.

    I suspect that the Republicans didn't want to attend an event that didn't feature copious amounts of MEAT.

    Though I must say I found the state dinner menu a lot like food porn, except with some spelling errors.

    I went to UNLV right at the ending cusp of LV's glory days (More classic hotels on the Strip than douchebag attractors, Tarkanian was still coaching, slots still dropped coins etc) and even in 1993, with under a million residents, LV still was a two-newspaper town.

    In fact I still have my mint-condition copies of the LV Sun's farewell to the Dunes Hotel special issue .. though, little did the Sun know they were about to implode themselves :[] .. good times though.

    @lobstr: I forgot! Yes! You're a UNLV grad. For the record, the Sun's still alive, it's just a fold-out in the RJ, now. A 20something year-old reporter at the Sun won the Pulitzer earlier this year for Public Service reporting on construction project deaths. Must've chapped some old asses at the RJ fairly well.

    If the internet had been set up originally on a per-fee basis, maybe there wouldn't be resistance to the idea of internet-only news. "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" comes to mind.

    I was hoping for the death of print media if only to save the forests.

    @Lysergic Asset: Compuserve, payable by the minute. Something called The Source offered all sorts of university (East Mississippi Barbers', I think) research opportunity at $7 per minute. Other deep resources offered a cover charge to the Inner Sanctum. This was connectivity in the late 80s, when I started. Even the local "tree board," the BBS which organized chatter so it went on forever like an organization chart, began charging.

    Then somebody said, hey, everybody's still listening to radio and watching teevee. What's their business plan again?

    @BadUncle: Actually, the flow of Conservative time stopped roughly after Ronald Reagan, when he immediately ascended to heaven and then recrafted his life story. There was a brief respite for the G.W. Bush years, and now there is no time yet again.
