Faux News Channel*
As many of you are aware, I am *gasp!* a Republican. I feel it necessary to state that this does NOT mean that I watch, support, or endorse Fox News Channel. According to Fox "News" (yesterday, John Gibson's show The Big Story), Great Britain is not an ally of the United States. The British people hate not just the war in Iraq and President Bush, but America itself. Sweet fancy Moses, have they gone mad or do those fools actually believe this? Making fun of France is one thing (a people lead by Jacques Chirac deserve to be mocked), but this is outright xenophobia. The British hate us? Yes, obviously, I suppose that must be why Tony Blair has been removed from office over his support for American policies and why in a BBC poll, 43% or Britons welcome President Bush's state visit, while 36% wish he hadn't come. Oh, wait, Blair is still in power, unchallenged even by the red/peacenik wing of his own Labour Party. Idiots. When I am confronted with cowards and liars like those at Fox News hiding behind the First Amendment, sometimes freedom of speech and freedom of the press seem like to high a price to pay for suffering these fools.

*My thanks to Micah Wright, writer of the comic book StormWatch: Team Achilles for the phrase "Faux News Channel." Many people have made fun of Fox News (Fake News Channel, Vox News Channel), but none are quite as pleasing as Faux News. Bwa ha.
