Re: Nonsense, the left Dems and all parties left has never achieved a voting % above 24% when framed against the electorate,

Nonsense, until the 1970's, the so-called Left used to attract a wide plurality in this country. Though if you become dogmatic about it and only talk about the American Communist Party you are exposing yourself as a fringe thinker.

As far as media coverage of the anti-war protests yesterday, I'm delighted with what I see on the TV so far this morning. The coverage is vastly more honest than it was in October. While the media is still lying about the size of the protest movement, they are at least giving some coverage to the "human interest" side of the events. For instance, CNN failed to give estimates of crowd size in Washington and San Francisco and utterly sandbagged the movement by indicating that there were protests in two dozen other cities across the U.S. Poppycock. There were a half a dozen in Oregon alone. And the preponderance of satellite protests were occurring east of the Mississippi. So, they've still got a ways to go before they are really being honest about the large number of people across the political spectrum who feel that Bush is a grave danger to civil society.

Here's something I'm having some fun with this morning:
dailyfeed.com

Be sure to check out "A Different Kind of War". It really skewers el Presidente Corrupto in a most delicious manner.

Enjoy!

FYI: You are a bit low the U.S. population. Here's the real deal: blue.census.gov

You are correct about the "odd" aspect however.
