By "those who take journalism seriously", I mean, of course, those who are interested in facts & truth, not "hot bodies/babes/bikinis". :rolleyes:

There have been many, but the prestigious awards are the National Magazine Awards, which are the magazine journalism equivalent of the Pulitzer. MoJo has been nominated 27 times, and won 6. That kind of cred is impeccable, in the eyes of those who take journalism seriously.

Jon Stewart has twice won the Peabody Award [for distinguished & meritorious public service], which is based upon excellence, rather than popularity or commercial success. According to Wiki, the judging is "unusually rigorous", and Stewart has won twice. Did I mention it's for "distinguished and...

They just need to get on the wrong side of Anonymous, lol. ;)

One more thing about the Daily Caller: when the slideshows & "hot topics" consist entirely of variations on "hot women/bodies/bikinis", I consider that a mark against serious journalistic credibility. Just sayin.....:rolleyes:

Regarding the credibility of Mother Jones: the site/team has won a great many prestigious awards for excellence in investigative journalism. The Daily Caller [a conservative news & opinion site] has been kown to publish unsubstantiated allegations [against Senator Bob Menendez] that reputable...

If computer forensic specialists can't recover them, maybe some po'd hacker will, just because it's so nice to see liars busted.

Pilgrim: I got the impression the wife thought Wilcox should have been running for cover instead of attempting to end the threat, rather than as a preliminary step. I could be wrong, though, lol. PS I think the problem is people who spend the money to buy a weapon, take whatever classes are...

It was the realization that he would probably have done the same thing as Miller [approach an armed threat] and been shot by an accomplice he hadn't seen, that got him thinking about the wisdom of carrying a weapon to protect himself. Because he's right: if you have a weapon, you will probably...

Link is bad. I read a bit of a story in the Wall Street Journal [couldn't read it all, not a subscriber] about 2300 docs who billed Medicare for cardiac procedures that cost north of $500,00. Each. And the kicker is that not one of the docs was/is a cardiologist.

Did you see any billboards that say "Use yah blinkah"? They crack me up, lol.

Nowhere in the article does the author say, or even imply, that carrying [concealed or openly] is stupid - that's your [mis] interpretation. What he said is that it got Miller shot, and that it could happen to him, or anyone who carries a weapon, and that is the simple truth. It's what you...

Linder, it might be easier if you wait until cold weather to try it, because summer is when there's so much fresh stuff available [farmer's market, roadside], and you want to grab it when it's in season and the opportunity pops up. [This week, it's cherries - I swear, they're like crack, lol]...

I believe you're making my point: it's all about cheap labor. I'm a firm believer in capitalism - but left to itself [unregulated], it tends to get warped. CEOs are an example: given the privilege of declaring their own 'worth', [and everyone else's, in their own area], they abused it. Just a...

No. Because unless I somehow missed it being changed in the past six years, it's exactly the same. :rolleyes:

"I never used the word liberal." That's funny, right there. Say "Dumber than dirt liberal morons" to any EO member who reads the Soapbox, and whose name pops into their head? Contrary to your assertions, we do need liberal ideas. And we need conservative, and independent, and progressive - we...

I don't want to "cut CEO's pay" - what I'd like is for them to recognize that their insane greed and 'entitled' outlook is both unpatriotic and detrimental to a civil society, and try to be better people than they are right now. We need an educated middle class, and people need to feel that...

That's like the question on a 'test' to determine drug dependency: "Do you find yourself watching the clock until it's time for the next pain pill?" If you're in pain, absolutely - but that's considered a sign of 'dependency', and the need for treatment?! I guess it's all about who wrote the...

1: I can't 'explain' it - there isn't enough information to form an opinion, even. 2: There are plenty of examples of people who pretended to be hetero most of their lives, then giving up the pretense. Many even tried to convince themselves, so great was the resistance to being 'queer', with...

As noted, PDs aren't going out and buying this kind of military equipment, it's being passed on from the real military. There is a correlation in some minds that equates defense spending with patriotism, and the DoD takes full advantage. [As do the contractors.] If the DoD got the kind of...
