He lied about his intentions when he talked with Obama - that he was going to buy a business - and has demonstrated a problem with his honesty. Oh, he lies: THAT is why the Right likes him! Now I understand! I guess if criminal Oliver North can become a journalist, the Joe the "not named Joe" the Plumber can as well. He seems as brilliant as the folks for which he'll be reporting.

I'm too late to the party. But if I may add, Pink Floyd's (or should I say Roger Waters) "Final Cut" was one of my favorite albums when I was a freshman in college. Remember, this was a time of uncertainty regarding nuclear war (1984). I just bought the digitally remasterd CD recently, and it's as powerful, if not more so, today! "The Fletcher Memorial, home for intolerable tyrants, and waste" Classic. Dammit! I’m too late to the party.
