Monday, September 22nd, 2008

I only caught a small chunk of last night's Emmy Awards, but what I saw, and have since read in the news, shows exactly why these people should stick to making films rather than entering the political dialogue.

China: Same Kind Of Goons for 60 Years

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Can anyone tell me why CNN owes China an apology over a reference to the totalitarian government being referred to as "goons and thugs?" It sounds to me like Jack Cafferty hit it out of the park. Okay, he was wrong on one point, and for that maybe an apology ...
