You criticize me in another thread, saying that I say nothing, yet you make an entry that is asinine. You should do a self examination. Either your playing bait games or you just mean.

Do you know anything about Pajamas Media? Even pundits on the Sunday talking heads shows reference stories originally appearing on this online media venue.

You need to expand your horizons to the online media. You wouldn't want to be left behind.
