At least we kick Uzbekistan's butt
Forget the recent failures on the global front of teams USA in baseball and basketball: America ranks 53rd when it comes to freedom of the press, sliding from No. 17 just four years ago. That’s behind Bosnia and Herzogovina, Trinidad and Tobago, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, El Salvador and South Africa. Oh, well, at least we’re tied with Botswana and Tonga.
Actually, this suggests a surprisingly uncanny strategy when it comes to the war on terror. Our Administration, convinced “the terrorists hate our freedom,� have instituted warrantless wiretapping, scuttled Habeas Corpus, scrapped Article III of the Geneva convention and run ads insisting that terrorists will kill you if you don’t vote Republican.
Look, Mr. Terrorists: No freedom here. Why don’t you go take a look at the Netherlands?

About this blog
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
This kind of stuff makes me pee in my pants.
Have we, as an ENTIRE country, gone stark, raving mad? It would appear so.
