Ah but CNN, the first 24 hour news network, hit the air in 1980. Way before the internet was available to the public. While CNN is definitely not the most egregious offender of polarizing news propaganda by any means, they did lay the foundation for Fox and Msnbc, which spawned hyper-partisan blogs. IMO.

Actually I think it started with the 24 hour cable news. Had to find something to fill those 24 hours so why not hyper-analyze politics and create shows hosted by pundits that just spout opinions about politics for half the day. It's no longer "news", it's propaganda and has been for years.

I'm wondering what my dog would do.

I'd really like to see a reality show where we take the Romney's and make them live like the average struggling American family, living paycheck to paycheck, little to no insurance, trying to keep on top of the mortgage. That would be worth watching.

Well I never like to see anyone's marriage break up, but I always thought Will Arnett was a little creepy. **shudders**

My mom talks about this being a tradition when she was married back in the '50s in our small hometown (in the US). Grooms friends "kidnap" the bride and take her around the town until the groom can find her. Lots of Germans and Irish in this town so that's probably where it comes from.

Naked Prince Harry Penis video STILL not as embarrassing as Prince Charles saying he wanted to be Camilla's tampon.

Jesus Christ on a school bus. I just wanted to say Divergent was a good book I'd recommend, but wtf happened to the comments? I'd scan the comments to find out but I can't even figure that out. Just when I had the multi-threaded thing figured out they go and throw this column shit in here? Why not just take…

Hell I remember when there weren't red M&Ms. There were orange, yellow, green, tan and brown.

I doubt 6am is a time R Pattinson normally sees. Actually I bet 10am is a time he rarely sees as well.

Not just me then.

According to the Straight Dope, US women weren't made aware of unsightly underarm hair until after 1915.

I was just flipping channels and saw him in Third Rock From the Sun.

Preach it! It is amazing how demanding physically it can be to ride, even just a grade horse. You get one that is strong or lazy or leans too much or doesn't want to do what you want and you are in for a work out just trying to school the horse to do what you want. Even some of those top level horses in the…

His inflections make me think he'd be excellent at Shakespeare. I never looked to see if he'd done any though.

How about the big plothole at the end when he flies that neutron bomb out over the water where it explodes and he doesn't die of radiation poisoning? Or did I miss something there?

Unfortunately as long as there's a 2nd amendment and an NRA lobby that owns congress I don't see anything changing on the gun control front. I doesn't matter how many crazy gunmen shoot up schools, malls, cinemas, or what have you, nothing will change because congressmen don't want to lose their NRA money.

I think Mitten's goose is cooked on this one. If he holds out and doesn't release his tax forms he looks elitist and guilty of something terrible. If he does release them, he's probably going to be found out for being a rich ole tax evader which isn't going to look good, especially when people are out of work and…

Wasn't the deal that she would have had to resign her seat on one of her House committees? Maybe even that House Intelligence committee? I could be wrong but I thought she was going to run into some conflict in her representative job, which god knows she isn't going to give up that power without a fight, so she…

A-yup.
