Scientology Pamphlet Traces the Evolution of God From Zoroaster to Kenneth the Page [Photoshop Of Horrors]
There are a lot of strange religions in the world... but of all the ones I have experienced, I really think Scientology takes the cake. When I went to their center in Portland, they showed us a video, which proclaimed that L. Ron Hubbard was man's greatest friend. It went into detail, more so than Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr, Jesus... Common, he was a science fiction writer!

Fox Decides, Then Reports: Coverage Of Obama Town Hall Clearly Unfair | TV | Mediaite
When Sen. Arlen Specter's town hall meeting this morning got contentious, all the cablers were there to cover it live. Fox News spent the most time, giving it 55 uninterrupted minutes (according to TV Eyes). Then there was Pres. Barack Obama's town hall this afternoon, that each cabler again covered live. But Fox News ended its coverage after just 30 minutes. It was the latest, and one of the most blatant, example of the decidedly non-fair and balanced way FNC has covered the town halls, and health care debate.

Now Would Be A Great Time For the MSM to Prove It’s Still Relevant | Online | Mediaite
It's been quite some time since a summer news story high-jacked the national headlines the way the shouting over the Town Hall-Health Care debacle has done in the last few weeks. The ratings gods must be very grateful! The question now, of course, is does anyone actually know what exactly they are shouting about? It's not like the cablers are adding much insight beyond a lot of additional chatter/yelling. You know what would be great right now? Some MSM intervention. Everyone still employed by newspapers and networks is so keen to tell us that newspapers and networks are still relevant, wouldn't now be a great time to demonstrate that fact?

Who Will Replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck On The View? - elisabeth hasselbeck - Jezebel
I think it would be a rockin good time to have Sarah Palin replace Hasselbeck on The View. Whoever replaces her, should be a conservative, to keep the balance on the show (well it really isn't balanced). Sarah Palin has the free time since she isn't working. It would give America a chance to really get to know her, from what we have seen so far I think everyone judgements are a little premature.
The Daily Gut
Twitter might be a great tool for communication, but sooner or later unless people get out of their houses, and off their computers - nothing is going to happen. The Twitter crowd might be less prone to do that than anyone else, because they might miss some tweets from their friends while they are out doing something about their beliefs in the real world.

Mourning The Death of The GE/FOX Deal | TV | Mediaite
One week after news of a supposed truce (or ceasefire or deal or...) between GE/NBC and News Corp./Fox, it's clear the deal has passed away. Following Keith Olbermann's strong attack on Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes and Fox News in general again Friday night (video after the jump), and another story about in-house tensions at 30 Rock, it's time to talk about the supposed 'truce' in the past tense. So what killed it?

Where Have You Gone, Joe the Citizen? - NYTimes.com
You can't deny that the tone of discussion around health care has been heated, you can't deny that their have been people who are working together with shared interests. You even can't deny that some of these people could be called leaders, and some of them have positions of power. What that does not add up to, at least not in my mind is astro-turfing. What makes someone who believes something, and then finds figures that represent that belief and meet with others that share it some how false? What makes a movement invalid because it has strong and connected leaders. We are not talking about organizations busing people to events, sometimes even paying them to be there - that would be union organizing.
However, as this points out, when the tone and the volume of debate gets too loud, those who speak quietly and calmly have a harder time being heard. They deserve to be heard as much as anyone else. I have my doubts about health care, but I have greater doubts about the nature of the discussion around it.

As American's we need to learn to communicate. It appears to be a sad fact that more and more, we only listen to people who agree with us, and talk to people who agree with us. This means when we run into people who don't agree with us, we don't know how to talk to them. We see them as being less than us, we see them as being stupid. In a absence of real communication, violence is the natural result.

Mrs. Clinton's trip probably never would have gotten much media attention, helping Somalia may be something very important to America, but not to Americans.
