The Thin-Skinned Right Wingers
R. Alex Whitlock
I like Fox News. Not necessarily for its political biases (I don't typically watch their "personalities" and prefer Keith Olbermann to Bill O'Reilly) but rather because it makes the news punchier. If I want dry reporting, I won't go to television to find it.

I'd like them a lot better if they could take a joke. Between this and the threatened lawsuit against Al Franken, they strike me as someone that can dish it out but can't take it.

Update: Boy being stuck on this modem is killing me by being out of the loop. Apparently Groening was joking and the AP (and I and Dean Esmay) didn't get the joke. Thanks to Mike for the tip.

Uhm... that story, ITSELF, was a joke. Fox never intended to sue over it, Matt Groening made the whole thing up and later admitted to it.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
