The Souless Susurration of the Times' Editorials

I find nearly the same sunny, optimistic attitude on NPR.

"Numerous vibrant cultures in Africa are being decimated by vulgar American culture."

"Numerous exotic species of wildlife are going extinct due to American expansion into the rainforest."

"Numerous orphans are being exploited by American corporations."

Numerous Americans are tuning out in droves. You can keep your damn tote bag.

Carbon Monoxide = C01, not C02.
Otherwise you are right on. Pessimism sells. Flinging wild ideas against the wall accomplishes purpose.
"In Washington, you are presumed innocent until you are investigated" [or accused by the NYTs?] -- From the hollywood move-on-type propoganda machine via Syriana movie based -- but not based -- on See No Evil. Not to mention its ironic speech on the value of corruption.

To be fair, the corruption at UMDNJ is tremendous and may cause the closing of at least one hospital in Northern NJ.

So, they got one right. But I think 1-12 is a bit below the Mendoza line.
