The mischaracterization of who said what ... and when pervades the political arena 2008, yet again? The old saw of "How can you tell a politician is lying? When their lips are moving ..." takes on a whole new galaxy of import with the 24/7 news cycle, IMO. The phrase "Politics makes strange bedfellows" also proves that their may be "nothing new under the sun?"
Those of us who supplement our television channel choices with either cable or satellite offerings find that info-glut is alive and well, with back channel politics displayed ad nauseum by well known media presenters, pundits of every stripe and individuals who seem to lack any other credentials, save a current a pay stub.
Separating fact from fiction is becoming the focal point of any registered voter's search for political savvy and decision making resources. I am certain that this is not a recent concept, but it has reached a level that staggers this old curmudgeon's mind ... considering what "mind" I have left!
Good fortune America ... may the choices "we" make be valid and correct for our journey into this "brave new world."

About Me
- Sergeant America
- I'm a Boomer who is way tired of the bovine excrement that masks itself as media reports and journalism! I am a Vietnam-Era Veteran along with my wife; who is also a Vietnam-Era Veteran, that believes in our Nation, Culture and Flag. I've had some life experience, been a few places, done a few things. I defended my Country, rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-5) in the United States Air Force (1966 - 1970). I enjoy life as much as one may and hope that my readers can do the same. My best friend is my Wife.
