Maybe they simply don't matter?

Rare Mikey Monsoor memorial footage
Rare Mikey Monsoor memorial footage
"A little-known tribute some Navy SEALs gave to a fallen comrade is gaining notice.
Petty Officer Michael A. Monsoor was killed in battle in Iraq in September 2006, and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in April.
His funeral in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego was attended by “nearly every SEAL on the West Coast,” President Bush said.
During the service, as Monsoor's coffin was taken from the hearse to the gravesite, Navy SEALs lined up in two columns. As the coffin passed, video shows each SEAL slapping down the gold Trident from his uniform and deeply embedding it in Monsoor's wooden coffin."

No-contact advisory issued for Grand River
No-contact advisory issued for Grand River
"The city of Grand Rapids notified the health departments that a combined sewer overflow was released into the river at several locations, including the Market Avenue Retention Basin."
Why is "OK" for Grand Haven to be the alimentary canal of Grand Rapids?
This wouldn't be allowed if it was a factory sending the same garbage down the river!

Sept. 10th Democrats
"Such naïve policies suggest Democrats do not understand or are ignoring real threats facing our nation just as they did on September 10, 2001. The stakes for our security will be high this fall as voters choose between Senator Obama, who supports these dangerous proposals, and Senator McCain, who understands the lessons from 9/11 and will take a more responsible approach. Let’s hope the voters make the right choice this November."

MSM prefers fewer readers?

"If only AP was as skeptical of the L.A. Times as it is of the Bush Administration ...it wouldn't have left this uncommented upon:
'The number one reason that people cancel the L.A. Times is, they tell us, they don't have enough time to read the paper that we give them every day,' Stanton said. 'We're going to be more picky about the stories we choose to write long and a lot more picky about the ones we write shorter.'
Yeah, that's it. People are complaining about too much news. They're doing too good a job! That's their problem!
UPDATE: The LAT's appeal isn't shrinking -- it's just becoming more selective!"
The self delusion of the socialists who run (down to the gutter) newspapers is really scary.
After all, they provide much of the news we are exposed to.

Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims
Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims:
"But why would a presidential campaign that has its own 'Fight the Smears' website rely on a radical left-wing blog like Daily Kos to post its official documents, especially one as sensitive and controversial as a birth certificate? A few days later the Obama site would post a very low resolution, barely legible image -- it still is there on the site, with no reference to the one first posted at the Daily Kos."
This is getting interesting!

Granholm takes freedom (choice?) and calls it a gift.
Granholm outlines ways to save money
"'There's no doubt that Michigan's fortunes are tied directly to the cost of gasoline,' she said. 'People are hurting. ... That's why giving them tools to save money is very important.'"
Shouldn't this read:
"Granholm takes freedom, call it a gift of "tools to save money".
Only a democrat could get away with this lie.
Only a liberal media would report it as if it were a wise decision.
I guess "choice" means never having to say "I'll make up my own mind".

Democrats want 55 MPH speed limit!!!!!!!
Democrats want to enforce 55 mph limit!!!!!
"State Rep. Aldo Vagnozzi said Wednesday in a statement that he has introduced a resolution urging Congress to reduce the national speed limit to 55 miles per hour. The lower limit would save Americans money by reducing gasoline usage while saving lives and lessening U.S. dependence on foreign oil, the Farmington Hills Democrat said."
