Don, I believe there are plenty of honest journalists on both sides. Just because I don't agree with their views as expressed, doesn't mean they aren't honest or that they can be characterized as parroting anything. To do that, is dishonest.

I try and buy and read a Washington Post (left) and a Washington Times (right) every day, figuring the truth is probably in the middle.

And Greg, if you check my posts from the past, you will find that I was long ago advocating getting into Iraq, the Balkans and several other conflicts, because both the UN and the Old Europeans were incapable of concerted action. I'm not parroting Bush's lines, he's just reading my mail.

And when you attempt some perjorative diagnosis of my thought processes, you actually reveal more of your own "cognative dissonance". I mean, considering the fact that Clinton was a true Draft Dodger and a poseur, and that the elder Bush and Bob Dole were authentic war heros, I'm sure you had to have voted for them - NOT! Do I hear a little dissonance there...?

And Bobert, your on! The only real worry I have is when I have to go to any of the Doctors or car mechanics left behind. Actually I'm not so worried about the Doctors, as most of the ones at the VA are Indian or Pakistani, but where are we going to find a Wiccan mechanic?
