As if anything we watch on television is really that believable. :)

When you'd rather watch the South Park parody of a show rather than the show itself, then there's definitely a problem. I'm really hoping it's more like Season 1, but I'm probably hoping for too much.

skipsul--sorry. :)

Amy--you know, I actually don't mind how HBO has compressed the story (though I still wish there were more episodes). Martin tends to draw things out in the books probably more than necessary. For example, I think HBO has handled the Daenerys storyline more deftly than the books. As for him finishing the books, I've heard he's not well and people are worried he won't finish. Do you know anything about that?

Amy--I agree. I don't want to lose the quality. I guess they would make more if they could. It's just frustrating, especially having read the books.

I hate to say I told you so..... here and here. 

Crow's Nest---truly shocking. Absolutely unbelievable.

WC---so right. It did start with Joe the Plumber and the release of his private information. And yes, they seem to have been quite the busy beavers to win that election. But I don't think that surprises us that much. I just hope more people realize what's happened and don't vote for Hillary. I'm not holding my breath though.

I'm visiting my parents outside of Camp Lejeune, and I drove on "Ronald Reagan Freeway" coming in from Wilmington today, so I feel inspired. :) Coming home to my Marine Corps roots always gets me fired up.

Ditto, Dave. I wish we could drive your truck up to Boehner's house and blow the horn till he cries uncle and appoints a select committee. We can't let let this slide--not on any of the scandals. Our freedom is at stake.

Oh, Nick, you are so not encouraging. Unfortunately. I'm just waiting for a real leader in the room to stand up.

Ryan--I agree that the current liberal outlets need to go, but that won't just happen. I do think we can train and raise up conservative journalists to infilitrate these outlets and create their own. I would love to see more private conservative colleges focus on training journalists, more scholarships, more institutes, all training subperb journalists so the fourth branch of government can be restored.

You might want to look at the link I included in #20 and scroll down through all the data. I think you will find it very interesting about race/age/church attendance/etc.

Ryan---the MSM is dying, that's for sure, but I think there are pockets where the free press is hanging on and even on the rise. If the free press dies, we all die. You can't have a free country without a free press.

Western Chauvinist---are Latino Catholics somehow less Catholic than white Catholics? I don't really understand why you're making this distinction.
