I just finished reading Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right' and I thought it was brilliant. It's an effective strategy, when you're dealing with a faceless corporation, to go after their representatives.

Last night I watched a piece on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart about a senator in California who wants to lower the voting age to 14. Yes, 14. They had Rob Corddry talking to a group of 14 year olds, asking them what was important to them. One said, you know, having the right clothes and stuff and fitting in with the crowd and stuff. Another said he thought Fox News was the best place to get your news, because they're 'fair and balanced' you know. He repeated the whole advertising schtick - "We Report, You Decide." He repeated
that Fox was fair and balanced, you know, not like CNN.

Heaven help us.
