cyber-jack Wrote:Hmmmm? I guess you missed that headline...It read something like this:

Arrogant and egotistical tyrant seizes American throne and declares himself King of the World.

or maybe it was more like this:

70's cartoon hothead, The Heat Miser aka GWB (see Year Without a Santa Clause) slays rival and assumes control of both hemispheres. Currently squandering American Finances for personal gains.

That sounds like the NYT, all right. Is Jayson Blair back?

I don't read the Times...I'm a bit farther west than you are and contrary to popular belief, not everything revolves around NYC, so I don't know who the f*&# Jayson Blair even is...

Did you notice how I used the color red in my post as a symbol for the Bush Administration's foreign policy...oh wait, maybe a post is just post after all... :p

Well now, Cyber-Jack, I never said everything revolves around the Capital of the West, did I? But just so you know, Jayson Blair was the NYT reporter who whas fired in disgrace for fabricating his articles wholesale. About par for the course for "The Paper of Record" these days.

Ahhhh! That name does sound familiar put in the context of the event.

For the record, I wasn't implying that you said everything revolves around NYC, only that it was a "popular belief".

And on a side note, I find it amusing that a Bush supporter takes issue with any fabrication at all, but I guess that's really a topic for the political board, eh? Big Grin

So was Jayson Blair the liberal version of Stephen Glass?

Gee, you mean there's actually something out there on the other side of the Hudson? Big Grin

Mike, do you remember a New Yorker cover, or maybe it was a poster, from the early '70's that depicted just that...a New Yorkers' view of the US, with the City front and center and the rest of the country beyond the Hudson waaaaayyy off in the distance. I had one in my room during college and I remembered keeping crayons nearby for those who were so inclined, usually after indulging in some... uh... illicit substances, to color the poster as they wished.

But, hey, I no longer think that way. I know there's a right coast and a left coast and the fly over zone in between. Big Grin

No, really, honestly and truly, I love New York, but I also totally respect every other state in the Union. Man, does that sound trite and insincere, or what. But I do mean it. Really! Smile

Yeah, sounds like it! :p Wink
