E Pluribus Unum

Future historians will point to the day that cable and network news divisions were directed to support themselves and that the the free lunch was over and they'll say that was the day that our country took it's first steps to hell ... and in a handbasket, too!

Seriously: when news needs to score in the ratings to stay on the air, that's when you get wall-to-wall coverage of Lindsay Lohan (over 6 thousand stories) instead of Alberto Gonzalez (less than 400).

Of course, who am I to talk? Of all the sharp, insightful, biting, taut and gripping commentary you'll find here, it's Chuck Norris and Kucinich's wife that puts us on the map.
