" Does this mean that the article in today's paper was written before the speech? Though it includes past tense verbs ("offered a necessary softening," "was introduced")?

You are so busted, JG-TC. "

" Well, Bob, if you find writing a daily front-page article of Republican propaganda too difficult, why don't you stop doing it? We won't mind. "

" I am finding this highly amusing. Those on the left are so enraged that this paper would actually send a REPUBLICAN to the Democrat convention that they are trying to make ridiculous points. Mr. Schultz admits that the article was written before the speech. I hope you all are as disturbed by what he wrote on the blog about the reporters in press row standing and cheering Michelle Obama's speech. This is the supposedly unbiased press some of you are all so sure we have and you're all worried about one guy from central Illinois and what he'll tell us. Think about it. "

" Hey JG-TC, will you send me to St. Paul next week? I'd love to do an observation of the Republican convention for the fine readers of central Illinois everyday. "

" Definately a better piece.

Florida and Michigan, might have made or influenced just enough difference at an earlier time that this convention was a Clinton ball instead. Frankly after the hanging chad, I would have cut florida loose, and let them bob around with the other island republics. Perhaps the fence funding can be stretched a little farther, and we can put them on the other side of it, change their currency to the peso, and let them thnk about it for 8 years plus how ever long it takes to get out of this mess.

Maverick more likely denotes the tom cruise likeness. A little man. Has been in the business controversially for a long time. Was portrayed as a pilot. Likely to jump on couches, hoot and holler, and run around in his boxers. That is if doctors hadn't warned him against it, for fear of breaking a hip. Doesn't fit the western vesion of the term any better, I think maverick might be a name McCain should drop as in loose, not the way he tends to. Kinda like that clark rockeffeller guy. That might be McCains VP pick, now I spoiled it. Darn "

" Perhaps people spending an eternity in a notoriously hot place, need to be ready to don their parkas.

An avowed Political party member, staffed by the local paper, be it short term or not, with ties to local business, has told the truth. Done it without long drawn out denial attached to it, no prolonged smoke and mirrors, or manipulating marionette puppet show boards. My hat is off. More of the same, has been long needed, in a broad area.

A long journey begins with the first few steps. None on the way are insignificant, but the direction each are taken in, can have a great impact on the end destination. "

" what a yawner....another attempt to be newsy using old news.

like i said, spend your money to bring back doonesbury. "

" I notice that this "reporter" still doesn't know how to spell Barack Obama's name. What a brilliant newspaper we've got. "

" Ya gotta love how old miltie bemoans the bias on the left. Hilarious! Of course being open minded as she is, miltie never shows any bias, or is able to see any from the right wing regulars on here such as Doh, who last posted as RushBaby. No bias there, huh miltie....

I love reading miltie's posts, she never fails to make me chuckle....LOL!

I think I'm beginning to see why the Reich wingers aren't able to pick up on the slant of the Faux news channel. If they're all this dumb...well you know... "

*************************************
You can't expect them to remember that Miltmart. Since it was so long ago that he explained he had a 9:pm deadline issued by the paper. "

" When I first saw the headline on Fox online about someone getting three DUI's I naturally assumed they were talking about George Bush. No, they were talking about some Pennsylvania college professor. Wondering why this would warrant a lead, I read further into the article and I came upon the real reason, this guy had worked in the Clinton administration. LOL!

Good old fair and balanced Fox news....

They always do their job in keeping us informed about the misdeeds of any Democrat, from dog catcher in Gary Indiana to John Edwards on the national scene. "

" maybe some of the editors need to move their columns over to opinions like penny says "

" McCain picks Susan Palin, isn't she the one whose steamy lesbian romance novels sell so high on E-Bay? Oops sorry, I got her mixed up the the real author of those books on erotic lesbian romance novels, Lynn Cheney. Sorry for the confusion. "

" Sarah. "

" See how the lefties are scrambling around looking under every rock trying to find some dirt on Sarah Palin. I think that her 4th cousin twice removed on her mother's side once copied on a test in school. Give me a break. LOL "

" No need to find any dirt on this woman, Sappy. She is a vapid zero from nowhere. "

" the dirt already exists "

" Idahoans and Alaskans will be pleased to know they are 'from nowhere.' "

" And Injustice I'm sure there are plenty of posters who will be glad to be more specific than you have been or at least willing to make things up. "

" make things up about Ms. Palin martha!? ha the story writes itself get a clue "

" and yes martha good job on catching the first name mess up, maybe you should be editor, we really adore your 2 cents "
