Here's a fun link from CNN.com:

Cheney says the media is "not doing their homework". Hmm... Interesting. Let's roll back the clock to another link:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/g8/interview5.html

I'll even quote the relevant bit from that one for you:

THE PRESIDENT: We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them.

We found them. We'll find more. You're all wrong. Those are some pretty strong, decisive words coming from the leader of the free world. Wouldn't you want someone who was saying those words to have... oh, I don't know... proof? Now what was that about 'doing homework', Mr Cheney?

All this mudslinging just sickens me. If there were a "Personal Responsibility Party" candidate, I'd vote for him/her in a heartbeat. In the meantime, I'm sticking with my current motto for the election:

John Kerry. Because I have to.

And finally, this doozer:

So let's see... eight jackos in an SUV got bored, and set a homeless man on fire. If I needed any more proof that this country's well on the road towards anarchy, this would be a good start.

This was uplifting, wasn't it? I gotta stop reading the news...
