The Discerning Texan
All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.

The Associated Press is telling us all about the "evil" Republicans have who have killed funding for the Woodstock Museum. (How dare they...)
But--as Don Surber correctly points out--the real story here is not the fact that a patently ridiculous use of taxpayer money was nixed by Republicans, but rather of how Big Media has shown its backside in suddenly becoming a champion of Democrat pork, and in using this inane story as an excuse to attack a Republican Presidential candidate. (Quite frankly, I am not a big McCain supporter, but you have to admit it was a good line...)
It is almost getting to the point where I cannot even pick up a "mainstream" publication of any kind without experiencing disgust or revulsion at its so-called "objective" reporting. It is like a disease; a virus that continues to multiply--only in this case the "host" which is threatened is Big Media itself; or else our Constitutional form of government--whichever dies first.
