Shouldn't home grown terrorists be news?
They're not Muslims, so they don't exist. Good God-fearing conservatives don't do things like this. Ergo, there's no story.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

I haven't seen any coverage in the New York Times yet, and I've looked.

Really? I mean, I'm proud to be a Democrat, but some of us are weird(in general, I don't think that weirdness is racial, but I think I have met, say, 9/11 Truthers at some of the local stuff,so if somebody flashes a Truther sign in Charlotte, I wouldn't think they weren't Dems. Just not the ones I would vouch for.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've barely seen any mention of it. It's an utter shame.

All cynicism aside, I think a plot against the president is always newsworthy. Maybe the evidence against them is slim? Except, ya know, for the hard to explain away $87,000 worth of arms and explosives.

Some of you may remember when my close friend and Emmett's godmother, Karen, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Today is her five year all clean.
A little good news when it seems in short supply.

That's big news, Hecubus. In other, smaller good news, some petition signers have thanked me for apologizing and for not adding to the flow of crap on the internet.

A serious one, yeah. And that does sound serious.

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

I really think the mainstream media is afraid to embarrass the Republican party. Why has there been so little coverage in the national media of Republican's efforts in many states to disenfranchise voters who tend to lean Democratic? Why has there been so little coverage of how climate change is mostly responsible for all this weird weather we've had over the last few years?
I think these things should always be newsworthy too.
