I saw this on Slashdot and thought I'd pass it along to the dKos audience.

Stern: The commissioner has fined me millions of dollars for things that I've said, and consistently avoids me, and avoids answering my questions, and I'm wondering how long he'll stay on the phone with me.

... the first question being, how did you get your job? It is apparent to most of us in broadcasting that your father got you your job ...

Twelve-minute mp3 is here, and a CNN article is here.

I live in Oklahoma City, where Sinclair owns two stations, KOCB and KOKH. Since it's likely that many local progressives don't check dKos daily, I assembled a Sinclair summary from AlterNet, dKos, TPM, and boycottsbg, and sent it out the local progressive mailing lists I'm on, and the contact points for other lists I'm not on.

The letter is after the jump.

Feel free to replace the Oklahoma City contact information with local information for your area and let a thousand flowers bloom. Read More

It's ancient history, but I just stumbled across this news article regarding two of dKos' most loved Republicans, Tom Coburn (OK) and Alan Keyes (MD^H^HIL), so I thought I'd pass it on for humor value. Don't miss the part where Coburn compares Keyes to Lincoln...

MANCHESTER, N.H., Jan. 28 PRNewswire -- U.S. Rep. Tom A. Coburn (R-OK) today endorsed Ambassador Alan Keyes for the Republican nomination for President, calling him "the one candidate for President who actually understands what is wrong with our country and who has the vision, the courage, and the clarity of principle to put it right."

Coburn is a practicing physician who has earned a reputation as a leading budget hawk during his three terms in Congress.

If you can stomach the source, check out this Newsmax article for a laugh.

NewsMax's Insider Report has been warning our readers that Democrats and their supporters may be laying the groundwork for a massive effort to "steal" the election come Election Day.

And how, you may ask, are they going to "steal" the election? By -- gasp! -- registering new voters. Great for democracy, right? Wrong.

This Bush quote is reportedly from the Feb 25, 1990 Dallas Morning News:

I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes. -- George W. Bush

Damn, I missed last night's Very Special Episode of Fishing With Dubya. If only I'd read my BushCheney04 inbox sooner.

If Bush is this hard up for a chance to get his message out to the people, I'm sure Dean would've been happy to give him time during the Tina Brown show...

Who is georgewbush.com aimed at? It might throw red meat to people already voting for Bush, but looks to me like it does more to scare away undecideds -- it's basically a hi-res newsmax.

Kerry gets more landscape on the front page than Bush does.
All kinds of lies, distortions, and half-truths on the front page -- "Convention wrap: Irresponsible and proud of it.' ... 'most out of the mainstream' ... 'kerry can't makeover weak national security record.'
They run the laughably innefective Kerry 'clean suit' picture on the main page.
They cite to factcheck.org stories that give Kerry at least as much ammo as Bush.
Their blog has... no comments allowed?! BWA ha ha!

I heard part of it on O'Franken today, and was impressed with how much better it comes through with Gore's voice than from moveon's transcript.

Apologies in advance for the one-liner Diary entry...

I logged on this morning and noticed that yesterday S in Mich scanned through all the comments I posted last week and marked them as trolls even though they weren't. WTF?

Maybe I'm overreacting, but I thought I'd post a diary entry in the hopes of (a) learning the right Scoop etiquette for responding to this, and (b) embarassing S in Mich to not pull this kind of cheap crap again. Read More

This entry is embarassing to admit to, but since some Kossacks are asking how anyone could support Bush after last night, I'll post it on dKos anyway.

Last night I started listening to Bush's press conference on my kitchen radio. Every time he was asked a question he would dodge it and retreat to a jumble of words from his 2003 phrasebook. He was so bad that I turned on the TV to see if he would come across better there. It was worse on TV: his darting eyes, his weaving body language (and his tie, but let's overlook that). My wife was convinced that Bush was on something. It was literally the worst presidential press conference I've ever seen.

In short, it was the same conference that everyone in last night's dKos threads saw.

But then... Read More
