It's a horrible paper -- basically a conservative answer to the "liberal" Washington Post. It's circulation is wide inside the Beltway, but nowhere near the level of USA Today (the largest in the country), the NYT, the WSJ, or the Post. It's mainly bought by militant Washington Republicans who can read enough to avoid USA Today and the NY Post (both of which have so many pictures and so little text that they border on comic books). Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
I was just trying to look on the bright side. For Jerome's sake. :)
But seriously, it is rather cool that these rags are even listenning to him. Maybe they'll eventually catch on to some of his more progressive ideas. Like, "Well, he seems to know what he's talking about. He was right about Russia (confirming their beliefs that Russia is forever up to no good)... What does that mean about his take on windfarms?"
I don't know. But welcome to my fantasy world where Moonies get hip to energy. And the French. Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
Prepare to be invaded by ill mannered trolls.
Moon is the financial force behind the rise of the Christian right in the US. He bankrolled Jerry Falwell, and he's a dangerous megalomaniac.
He managed to get himself crowned the second coming of Christ in a Senate meeting room. Several senators and represenatives took part in the ceremony. And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
Let it run for a while, it just keeps getting better. Kim Kim Il Sung on bad acid meets the monster from Alien.
It's a little incredible when you think about it that this freak, whose worshippers abducted kids at airports in the seventies, is now an established Republican pillar of society. If he'd supported the Democrats, I have this nagging feeling that someone would raise some hell.
This notwithstanding: congratulations, Jérôme! The world's northernmost desert wind.
