I Can Has Shock?

About animal torturer, Michael Vick, Jim Henley writes:

No, I wouldn't really execute Michael Vick out of all the Earth's criminals. My principles aren't so easily discarded. I would not electrocute him. Or drown him. Or hang him. Or slam his body to the ground until he died. There are in fact a thousand ways I would not kill him. I will now spend some time composing a list for myself, just to make sure I've thought of them all. Mother. Fuckers.

Perfect.

Shock

Public Opinion, WWII

Blake's Law

Look at CNN getting all picky and defensive and hyper-critical about Michael Moore and his new movie. They do an exhausting point-by-point rebuttal of Moore's rebuttal to their initial point-by-point critique of the movie. That's right, this is a re-re-buttal of a critique of a movie. Boy how they hateses it when someone fails to present the data in the proper way! I pity the next fool who tries to make a point but fails to adequately concede all the different ways the same data can be interpreted !

Indeed, I heartily applaud their zealous pursuit of the truth. I wonder, though, did I miss their rebuttal of Colin Powell's 2003 Iraq WMD slideshow ? That raised, for me, a lot of questions that I thought somebody should've asked. Did CNN ask any of them? Doesn't look like it. The closest thing I could find was an article which uncritically listed each of Powell's main points - "Powell said...", "...said Powell" - without a hint of skepticism or critical examination. Should I be puzzled ?

CNN: bitchy nitpickers when it comes to Michael Moore / kowtowing stenographers when it comes to BushCo's case for war.
