Media Bias Roundup - 05/23/08
May 23rd, 2008 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
And this folks, is how I feel at the end of this week… 
The Anchoress makes a very serious pronouncement about the GOP and I agree: If the GOP does not now trash the farm bill… We the people need to take control back from these whacko politicians before they totally do us in… The Anchroess asks:
IF the congress is out of control/out of its mind, do not the executive and judicial branches have a basis for stepping in?
And Brutally Honest has a follow up: GOP in need of some Viagra. Funny title, sad, sad situation…
And The Anchoress points us to the great Ace of Spades blog: Democrats Lied, People Died: Congressman Admits Democrats “Stretched the Facts” About Ending the War. Meh and nuance liberal style - more disconnection among politicians and the great hordes of ‘we the people’ and a brazen display of a ‘Let them eat cake!’ mentality. Great post by Ace…
From John Hawkins at Right Wing News comes this: Why I Will No Longer Support John McCain For President. You and me both John, you and me both…
Our favorite military sleuth, Bob Owens, at Confederate Yankee has a killer article at Pajamas Media today: Are Soldiers Really Being Assaulted on the DC Metro? Check, double-check and check again - the facts that is… Excellent reporting Bob as always…
And from Tom Elia over at The New Editor: Andrew Sullivan’s Boilerplate? Agreed…
The Radio Patriot: MEMORIAL DAY FOR THOSE WHO PURCHASED OUR FREEDOM. Amen - a post you just have to read…
Before we get into the listing of posts for the day, MMB would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very happy and blessed Memorial Day. All gave some and some gave all so that Americans can remain free. We are so very proud of all of our boys and girls in uniform who have come before, are here now and have yet to serve…
