Human Events is more likely the "number one conservative mouthpiece" or whatever. Let's not forget the Wash Times, while unquestionably deeply conservative, is owned by the Moonies, not the GOP.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
the Wash Times, while unquestionably deeply conservative, is owned by the Moonies, not the GOP.
And yet, it reprints RNC memos, verbatim, as news.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Squid? Scallops?

Well, Moonies are strange people sometimes. I've seen some of the most entertaining tabloidesque paranoid screamers in the Times. They're funnier than my own local tabloid, but the Herald makes up for it with people who are often brusquely and foolishly, but ardently, devoted to the topics they cover.
I did not think that I could come to love tabloids, until I taught myself to see them as luridly OTT performance art. They're not all that for news (although sometimes have pretty good sports departments), but they'll certainly tell you a lot about the fracture lines in a culture.

No squid. I have a texture problem.

Capitol Hill Blue is pretty far outside the mainstream. Further than the Times, though in the opposite direction. So hefty grain of salt.

Rupert Murdoch is nothing if not an opportunist. He's just as fawning to the Communists in China as he is to the Republicans, because it's good for business.
Indeed - wasn't he a "liberal" once upon a time? Definitely a man who wants to know which way the wind blows.

bon bon beat me to it, but despite their towing the Republican line, I could see Rev. Moon (or whoever's in charge of the Moonies - is Moon still alive?) being a little leery of someone else, especially a president, claiming to have God's cell phone number. That would probably go double if there was any sign of a potential meltdown.

me, I'm having singapore noodles with beef, chicken and pork. I am starving, so I'm wondering if I should get a soup, too.

Ah lunch porn.
I had a piece of buttermilk fried chicken and a small roasted corn chowder. God I love the salad/food bar at Whole Foods. Despite their current campaign to demolish the Brown Derby.
