I stopped watching MSNBC a long time ago, and I only view Fox in the clips that appear online. Don't watch any evening news. <br /><br />Because the blogs cover much more of what's going on, there's much more about which to be crazy disturbed... <br /><br />I do read the NYT, though, by holding it in my hands. I find that a little calming.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-14709747822558011772010-05-07T08:37:03.162-07:002010-05-07T08:37:03.162-07:00PT: somehow I'd missed that.

On the other hand, in reading about the Lieberman Law I learned that there are actions that can lead to the unilateral removing of citizenship; eg, joining a foreign army that works against the US... So by that criterion, this guy has sort of announced he's renounced. <br /><br />The difference is that Scottie and Joey think that all it should take is the <i>belief</i> by the State Department that a person is in <i>some way</i> affiliated with a group that it <i>believes</i> is a terrorist organization. <br /><br />I've said many times I disagree with Obama's Afghanistan policy, and that includes predator strikes -- at least to the extent that they aren't able to eliminate civilian casualties, and targeting errors. When they nail a guy, though, I sort of like hearing about it -- and the fact that they're more successful at it than GW was (which I attribute, in part, to efforts to gain cooperation) adds to the pleasure.<br /><br />I also like the fact that Greenwald and many others, including, very often, columnists on the Huffington Post among others, strongly criticize Obama from the left. You never heard much criticism from the right, no matter what Bush did. In fact, it's quite remarkable how critical the right is of the very things on which they were silent a mere couple of years ago.<br /><br />As I've said, I think that's a difference between the liberal and the conservative mind.
