Thanks "Free Press" !

With all the whooping about press rights and freedoms in the wake of the wrongheaded AP phone subpoenas...I can't help but think that I would be a lot more passionate about it if the press had shown any tendency in the past fifteen years to actually do the duty that the Constitution is supposed to guarantee that they have the ability to do. 

Instead, we have a press that panders...increasingly to ratings and the non-stories that drive them.  The worst president in US history (George II) got an essentially free pass as he and his minions dissected the Constitution for their own gain, destroyed American credibility abroad, and just for good measure destroyed the American economy as well.

The press has also ignored (not sexy enough I guess) the whole topic of the climate change that has been happening all around us.  

It's been awhile since we had a "bad climate news" Monday, so lets have one on Friday!  Happy thinking...
