NBC upheld journalistic standards?

Unfortunately for Joe and his supporters, turning 73 is not his worst liability.

The question remains - How much is Sounder subsidized. A few years ago a Seattle Times columnist commented that we could buy a Lexis for each rider for what it costs us in yearly subsidies. Once initiated, well intentioned government programs continue to run regardless of the outcome. This subsidy ...

The sub-title states "The bungled prosecution of former Alaska SenatorTed Stevens." Stevens lost the election, so it appears to me that the prosecution's actions achieved exactly what it desired. The prosecution was unfair and deceitful but in no way was it bungled or ineffective. We can thank the prosecution for ...

Hey, what's the gripe, Oliver Stone has been modifying history for decades.

Excellent points, citzencane. I often wonder if anyone in this city sees the big problem. We live in a big spending city, county and state. Well meaning politicians have approved programs for every victim group and good cause. We couldn't afford the programs then and we really can't afford them ...

As part of the ignorant tax averse electorate, I want note that over many decades I have voted for more money for schools, parks, transportation, all sorts of projects. However, we seem to be getting less and less for our dollar. At times like these, it is worthwhile to consider ...

I thought maintaining the infrastructure was a primary duty of the local government. Unfortunately, during good times, transportation funding is diverted to other programs. Now, in difficult times, we can't fund all these programs. We really do not learn from the past. This is a repeating story of profligacy in ...

I suspect that the Administration or, at least, Democratic operatives are behind the first occupy wall street effort. This is what happens when you elect a community organizer who is an inept leader with no experience or knowledge in economics. Obama's only path out of the economic problems, he and ...

The Wall Street demonstrations are described as spontaneous. Demonstrations are a common part of the Community organizer tool kit. I would not be surprised to hear that the President or his staff were behind the initial Wall Street demonstrations. Suspect, those across the country are of "me to" variety. It ...

This is a remarkable piece of writing and thinking (hallucinating?). No doubt, Obama was dealt a difficult hand. however, In his anti-business attitude and costly ill-defined policies, he made a bad economy much much worse. In the end, I think there will have to be tax increases for the "rich" ...

When a Tea Party member demonstrates it's a scandal, when an irate liberal shouts down an opponent, it is freedom of speech. The headline alone tells us what we are to believe. Sounds to me like the media and the heckler are on the same side. Seems like the call ...

You make your own luck and you reap what you sow, best describes the President's situation. I only hope the country can survive until he departs the scene.

Tim, Get a grip, man! You are a good writer - I thought the worst hard times was really well done. Your remarkable left-wing bias and your red meat to the liberal masses columns are annoying and silly. Take an econ class and talk to some people outside of the ...

Steve, It took a lot of courage to publish this in Seattle.

bkochis, If I remember correctly, the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese military assassinated thousands of village officials and killed thousands upon thousands of peasants. At least the vast majority of those the Americans killed were combatants. While I'll grant you that Johnson, McNamara, Nixon and Kissinger were terrible wartime leaders, ...

POP SCIENCE CONJECTURE: There are clearly reasons not to support McCain, this silly speculative appraisal is not one of them. This fellow needs to get a grip.
