That's an interesting phrase.

So much of the media in America is weighed down with advertising considerations.

My ill-fated Iraq/Haliburton thread touched on this.

My heart cried about this from the beginning: this war was fought over rich mens' money.

The rich men manipulated the money.

It's now the economy, stupid.

You have to realize that America is looked on in a pitiful stance from many nations now. It's sad. It's sad that I yelled about this in Pixies because I cared and now what are people doing? Still nodding as they watch FOX?

PLEASE don't get me wrong. I appreciate the US. I just see the shifting change with Burma and Armenia and see that the rest of the First World is ignoring the US and we've gone on to *have* to consider international policy without you.
