Well, you know, I heard that Fox lost 60% of its favorite demographic since the elections (ours, not Iraq's) so that could cause some stress in the ranks. That, and acting like Rogue Republican Staffers while claiming to be a news show can do things like that to the mind.

======== Corporate media says: CRISIS IN RECRUITING!!!!!!!

In maybe 6 months we're going to be in real trouble. They even reported that the Army missed its reduced recruiting target in May. Actually it missed it by nearly 40% and it's something like the 4th month in a row.

Seems like stories such as these will make recruiting just a wee bit tougher. Bring on those $40,000 signing bonuses AND promises that the recruitee will not have to go to Iraq.

Yeah, right.

Hey, they keep raising the age limit for recruits as well.

Maybe Middle America isn't as out-to-lunch as it sometimes votes.
