Doing the heavy lifting

Here's a group providing a real public service. News Hounds, eight middle-aged citizens who believe a viable democracy depends upon viable media have banded together to take turns watching Fox "News" so you don't have to. Thanks guys.

Perfect typecasting

You have to love the dubber's refined sense of humor here. It seems he found inspiration while cleaning up the curse words for an in-flight movie and replaced the word a**hole with former AG, John Ashcroft's name. In other words the villain says, "Take this you f-ing Ashcroft!!!" Brilliant.

Ashcroft didn't return calls when queried on the switch. I can't think of a more perfect substitution myself.

In the beginning...

I know what you're thinking. You already have two other blogs. Isn't that enough?

The answer is apparently, no. Last One Speaks is too narrowly focused for general politics and the Detroit News is too family oriented for everything I have on my mind. I need a place to say what I really think. So enter The Impolitic; dedicated to the premise that the truth always serves - no matter how much it hurts.


I don't really have time to get serious about this for a few more weeks yet but I want to hold the name, so I'm setting it up now and will fill in the template and start posting regularly later.

Much more to come.
