I am curious at to where you get the 90% from. Is this an actual statistic? How was it quantified? Just curious.

In the end, the debate about media bias is kind of silly. Are they biased - yes. But they are not biased in the way most people think they are. It is not so much a liberal/conservative thing. It is a matter of the $$. The media is a business. The story that sells papers or advertisements is the one that will be printed. This leads to some with a conservative bias- Fox News and some with a liberal bias- Art Voice. They tailor their viewpoint to their audience to make money not for some conspiratorial reason.

I do agree with (e:Jason) though that the political dialogue in the U.S. has become too much about partisanship and not enough about actually addressing the problems. Rather than have actual discussions about the issues, people just yell their views at one another. That does nothing and is waste of time. Lets talk about the issues not the bs.

Watching the VP Debate. This is so much better than the presidential debate. They are so ornery, going at each other's throats, and they are well spoken. It is awesome. :)

Howdy all,
My apologies for lying about the new design. New site/New design same diff. The site does look good. Some suggestions if I may. How bout you have a way to see the reviews listed in order of being posted - similar to the "Last 12" box on this site. I say this because I saw that two restaurants had been reviewed but to find those reviews I would have to click through all of the restaurant names at the top. Another thing I noticed is that on the Brownstone Seafood House Page, the word Brownstone is partially covered by the "start date" box.

On to other topics, I would just like to say that "Trigger Happy TV" on Comedy Central is such a funny show. I wish the advertised for it more so I knew when it was on, but everytime I do catch it, it is so funny.

I guess that is it. I really should work on my research paper thesis so I can run it by my advisor tomorrow before having to hand it in on Wednesday. I also have to write a new closing remark for either Bush or Kerry for the debates. Hopefully it won't be a pain. Take care and talk to you later.

I can't wait to see the new design. Should be good.

I just got back from my GA meeting (General Assembly - its the representative body for our student government). It went well and I am glad I got involved with it. I am really happy with where I am at in my life. A lot of the stuff I am working on seems to be progressing and I seem to be on a good track. Hopefully I can keep it up. I really like all the stuff I am doing this semester. Between my classes and extracurriculars, I am doing the stuff I want to do. It is good and I am just very satisfied and comfortable in my skin. :)

To all who care, I will be back in the B-lo this friday and will be home until tuesday afternoon (like the Moody Blues song). I can't wait to see all of you and hang out. Take care of yourselves. Talk to you soon.

Where did you hear that this is Bush's hometown newspaper? Though it clearly is a media outlet based in Texas, it does not appear to be anything more than a website. Not that there is anything wrong with a website based in Texas endorsing Kerry, but there is a HUGE difference between a website and a newspaper endorsing someone for president. No offense to the internet but anyone can put up a website, it takes a bit more to publish a newspaper. If it really is a legitimate newspaper, I will withdrawl my criticism.
