Gentle Reminder....

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Gentle Reminder....

Post by cgarison »

In case you ever get so caught up in the horrible political spin as to how our president or the legislators that oppose him are terribly evil, just remember one thing, The USA ROCKS!!! The Declaration of Independence allows us many freedoms that people in other countries do not have. Need more evidence, let's look at Germany...

And even if politicians call Snowden a traitor, we still have not formally accused the New York Times, Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald, or Jacob Applebaum with committing treason (although they are each harassed every time they pass through customs because they have been placed on a watchlist.)
