Did you know that Russia, China and Cuba control the American media?



Or at least that's what my co-worker, who I thought at one point was semi-rational but now just appears to be driving off the nutjob cliff, thinks. Oh, and that we need more Bob Woodwards in the world.



Take a look at that statement. It's got to be the dumbest thing I've read all day. Possibly all year. Possibly all decade. You couldn't Google such whackjobbery with any tangible results.

What level of paranoia would lead a degreed individual to write something that would come across as too whacked for even the Glenn Beck set?

How would someone even work that out?

I think, and the Romney interview just capped it . . . this is why his party is going straight in the crapper: the lunatics are running the asylum and the rational ones are abandoning it entirely.

extortionist - Rev Moon and Rupert Murdoch - globalfascists pushing GHWBush's NWO agenda and masters in charge of the GOP talking points for over 30 years.

Funny, how they end up carrying water for the very NWO global fascists they once claimed to be against.

3. The truth makes the "Comm'nist Media" conspiracy ever sillier . . . .

. . . we have, generally, the most conservative and uninformative media in the world. Unless one would consider a daily trash-heap of fluff and non-issues as news, our crack Fourth Estate pushes corporate narratives. They're not paid to educate or inform.

4. To pinheads on the right, Russia was the Great Boogeyman from 1945 to 1990 then China took the honor

Looks like China may hold the Great Booogeyman trophy for even longer than 45 years.

The right likes to find a foreign foe to blame for our problems - kind of takes the scrutiny off our own 1%.
