back. and disappointed.

ok. i'm back.  i moved to san francisco.  will offer more about that in the next post.

the impetus for this post was found when i was reading the Old American Century that Ian always told me to check out. i was appalled beyond comprehension.  while i suggest that anyone with a mind checks this site out, i want to point out one (of many) instances of frightening "news" reporting.

this article, which was linked by OAC, has poignant commentary by Obama, saying that the 2008 election should take Bush out of office, not an impeachment (obviously making a stab at the attempt to impeach Clinton).  the points are clear and the article demonstrates his intelligence on the subject matter as well as his eloquence.  an anomaly appears at the end though.  after they have highlighted all of Obama's points, for some reason, they FINISH the article by saying, "Obama, son of a Kenyan father and American mother, spoke at a weekly constituent breakfast he sponsors with Illinois' other senator, Dick Durbin. He was asked about impeachment."

think about that.  they write an article where Obama makes valid, clear points, and it is ended with a statement that has nothing to do with the article, simply to remind the readers that he is, in fact, tied to African roots.

>--this is where i would usually insert a "(sigh)", but that statement of frustrating displeasure cannot encompass my feelings in this situation.  i just feel sick.--
