Now this is a newspaper correction.

Randall is back from Vegas, and perhaps he should have stayed in Vegas if he finds it so preferable to Peoria.

Someone notify John Plevka: The printing press also grants a power that’s easilly abused. The owners of this printing press wants to pay anyone who’ll tell them that video games made them violent. If only it wasn’t so easy for unethical people to own printing presses.

No, I do not think she needs to apologize for shopping at Wal-Mart.

Jake Jarvis doesn’t think much of newspapers’ chances for survival:

Comedian Margaret Cho tells the Huffington Post what she thinks about when she thinks of Tibet.  Because being an accidental tourist makes her an expert. Her observations?

Germany’s chancellor will boycott the opening ceremoniesat the Olympics. Naturally, President Bush just wants to do what’s good for bidness:

China’s brutal crackdown on Tibet has caused Europeans to reflect on a similar situation back in 1936 when the world ignored Nazi Germany’s treatment of Jews and others to take part in that Olympiad. The rest of the world became props in Hitler’s propaganda coup.

Where is Bush? One would think that a nation dedicated to human liberty would be in the forefront of such a protest. But the president - like his counterpart in Britain - believes that rocking the boat with China is not a wise move at this time. It is a realistic and not idealistic position. But considering the president’s grand statements about democracy and human rights, one would think he’d be at the forefront of any effort to highlight the plight of the Tibetan people.
