October Surprise

WASHINGTON — It has been more than four decades, but Ben Barnes said he remembers it vividly. His longtime political mentor invited him on a mission to the Middle East. What Mr. Barnes said he did not realize until later was the real purpose of the mission: to sabotage the re-election campaign of the president of the United States.

Buying the vote.

Due to the extensive political education I am receiving at c99 University, I have been schooled in reading political opinion disguised as factual reporting. The current Fourth Estate is now, in the words of Newton Minow, a "vast waste land", one which is strewn with land mines to eliminate reflection by the unwary. For those who do not peruse AOL, let me serve you up a helping of just one article from today. It's not that this particular day is unlike another day. It isn't.
