Take the tax benefits out of marriage and you remove the government from marriage. Put the tax benefits on child-rearing, and the potential for creating new life, and you put the focus back where it belongs, on the family.

This comes only a couple of weeks after Bob Beckel used the term "Chinaman" and then said he was just making a joke.

As Cary Grant says to Rosalind Russell in "His Girl Friday" from 1940, "Well who's going to read the second paragraph?"

His point being that he wants the name of the newspaper in the first paragraph, but the same applies when a media outlet has an agenda they want to push - Front-load your angle and bury anything that might play against it.

It's a practice that's been going-on for decades, if not centuries. Heck, there were probably cavemen who came back from the hunt bragging about how well they fought their prey before they mumbled under their breath that it got away.

Readers of any news article should always keep this in mind, and we should thank outlets like BigJournalism for calling the media out publicly when they do see this happening.

Didn't all that raw goat milk result in 78 people becoming ill and 1 death (in Sacramento, California)?

Oh, wait, that was 36 million pounds salmonella-tainted turkey that Cargill produced for more than 5 months and sold in at least 26 states. - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-04/cargill-...

At least the turkey was FINALLY recalled after an "internal" & "painstaking" investigation.

And at least Cargill has all the proper paperwork so that “[o]nce [the tainted meat is] removed and the shelves are restocked, most people will go back to buying it”.

Thank goodness that undocumented raw goat milk won't be in the fridges of a handful of people around Venice, CA, when they stock their fridges with ground turkey again.

Someone might get sick.

Yeah, we all know Jeremiah Wright was black. I was just pointing-out that there was a typo.

It does seem that some are almost joyful at the word that The Norway Nut Job said he was Christian. And life would be so much easier if any belief system could be fully explained by just one word. But that is not the case.

Speaking of just one word, I think, "On Jeremiah Wright being just a “libertarian ‘Goddamn America!’ theologian," was supposed to be "... liberation ... theologian."
