@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.
@Bos'un's Mate: Sorry, I keep getting lost here. I went down the other way but then I saw some Sheila posts and was like, WTF? and realized I had stumbled into 2008.
My wonderful but politically misguided father got me a subscription to the Times a couple of years ago, and I always enjoyed reading the batshit insane headlines before chucking it into the trash. But! You also get the FREE perk of being put on every god damn freeper mailing list in existence, and my neighbors probably think I'm some sort of ex-pat militia member at this point. Damn you, Moon! #washingtontimes
Are we still operating under the assumption that the Washington Post is the liberal opposition to the Times? The WaPo (or maybe just the editorial page) seems like it's positioning itself to fill the neo-con void and I'm more than prepared to completely ignore their bullshit as well. The Weekend is still pretty legit but otherwise, the cord is nearly cut. #washingtontimes
@Helio: They are neo-con for sure. They let that failure of a human being Jendayi Frasier write an op-ed that made cancel everything with them #washingtontimes
I was at an event at the Council on Foreign Relations ( John Kerry) and it was opened up to questions. Reporters were sitting in the back. Except one, Barbara Slavin from the Washington Times. She was sitting with that awful Congresswoman Harman. I noticed it because all the other questions came from the back. Even stranger was Congresswoman Harman asking Sen.Kerry a question as well as if she couldn't kick with him on the Hill. It was very odd because she asked her question (really 3) after it was announced that these would be the last questions taken. I put her in my Moonie category that day. #washingtontimes
@Go Like Hell Machine: Sorry, I will try to explain it without any shortcuts. I went to an event at the council on foreign relations in DC. John Kerry was speaking , he had just gotten back from Afghanistan. The reporters were all sitting in the back , they had to. It was marked media. The room was small. All the questions came from the back, except this one lady Barbara Slavin who got up to ask the question, but she wasn't in the media section . She was sitting next to Democrat Congresswoman Harman. The Washington Times has been quite supportive of Harman through her possibly criminal involvement with those Israeli spies. i know this is really confusing. My point was that no other media- there were some heavy hitters there- sat in anywhere near the front. The second weird thing was Harman asking Sen. Kerry a question , like a reporter would. The mediator said these will be the last 3 questions and Harman raised her hand. She then asked 3 questions in one, they were not friendly questions either. I thought it was odd since I am assuming as Democrats in foreign relations committees albeit in 2 different houses of congress, she could ask him whatever questions she wanted at some other time. I think those questions were for the benefit of the Washington Times. I hope this makes some sense #washingtontimes

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

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