How much can one say about a breath of fresh air or a light at the end of a long, dark tunnel? I guess that says it all other than the last pulsebeat of a free press or the dying ethical code of journalism.

Does anyone remember what a linotype machine clanking out better than 100 words per minute sounds like? That was when real newspapers were still in business.

Of course they are not going to report that you got it first, Doug, because then they would have to provide a link to your site. That is the LAST thing they want to do because then people would stop reading their fascist rags and start reading CHB and other alternative News sites.
Multiplied millions of Americans do not even know of the existence of alternative news organizations because of media suppression added to google's covert "manipulation" of search returns. There is absolutely NO chance of any real change being effected as long as the Mainstream Media has its way.

28 guage is a woman's gun. The foolishness, stalls and cover-ups make sense if Lynne Cheney pulled the trigger.

It is very possible to believe, that VP Cheney will NEVER bounce from this one. Whittington now has to suffer continuously knowing Cheney made a fool out of the entire government.
The way we see it, every time the government gets caught in their own snare, more and more people begin to wake up to the reality of the fact, there is no such thing as an American government as there should have NEVER BEEN ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
All stones will be unturned. It is just a matter of "Time Speaking."
We truly feel bad for Whittington and his family. As they say, . . . Whittington was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
However, it is true to say that we shall all pay for our wrong doings in life. As no one is perfect, it is likely Whittington and VP Cheney has paid a part of their debt of injustice they have created upon others. Only God knows the amount of everyone's secrets and hidden skeletons.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
-Samuel Adams

If Bush were a introspective person, it might have been a moment of "there but for the grace of God etc." when his fellow drunk shot his friend; The status of a "dry drunk" and an active alcoholic in tandem at the White House truly is a frightening image. Maybe Cheney's due to join AA and join Bush on the wagon.

DOES ONE ACTUALLY KNOW HOW DECEITFUL AND CRUEL A FORM OF GOVERNMENT CAN BE?
Governments do everything for 'experimental purposes', correct? So let's try this one on for size, . . .
Hang onto your hats’ folks, it is getting windy out there, . . .
Let's just imagine, . . . Based on the fact that governments acknowledge that there will always be casualties in the event of a war, that they will go as far as using an elderly victim of a hunting incident for the sole purpose of testing an opponent’s reaction?
Question: Who represents themselves being the leading opponent to the body of any form of government?
Answer: The people.
Question: In the war between the people and its government, how are each squads reacting toward each other?
Answer: As one stands in force, the other stands in defense.
Question: Which one of the two is standing in the position of force, as the other remains in the position of defense?
Answer: The one who finds it necessary, to experiment with life and death, is always found in the line of defense.
Analysis to conclusion: The one in force is with a clear focus, as the one in defense is with rambling confusion.

America has too many poor followers, and not enough valuable leaders! That is America's downfall!
Has anyone questioned the reasoning to why we war with other countries? (Set apart from the fact it enhances man's economy).
To honestly think about it, . . . War kills off a generation of good people. War has the capacity to "skip a track of good people," as it then creates the remaining few, to become so ill (physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally), they are more often than not, useless onto themselves and others, to do any world of good.
Until thought goes into why man chooses to war, rather than getting beyond the obstacles of differences, . . . man will NEVER be given the blessing of knowing how to bring resolve and peace.
So everyone can chat away, . . . all the way to Kalamazoo, . . . but the answers will NEVER be given, until we search the soul of man's intentions, and correct what is found to be wrong!

Yes, you got it right and first, and that's why I stop by here everyday. I miss Thompson and I hope he comes back, but I can understand how this miasma of delusions, spin, and lies can destroy anyone.
In any event, I find it hard to believe Bush can order Cheney to do anything, or for that matter wants to. Bush is too disconnected and feckless to care. Rover is another matter. If Bush was really in charge, which he isn't, he would have ordered Cheney into the Oval Office and given him the straight dope, but hey, let's be serious.
At some point they will run out of feet to shoot, or should I say faces.

Richard, . . . Who is Thompson?
