Tonight's post is a little bit more political...

Here is something I want to share with you in regards to the NEwsweek irresponsible posting about the Koran flushing...like the CBS fraudulent National Guard story, the media has been very very wreckless lately...

AM I the only one disturbed? what do you guys think?

they must be held accountable...'sorry' just doesn't just do it. WHere's the accountability of our media these days?

The Newsweek riots

How many stories has Newsweek written about the Bush administration allegedly "skewing intelligence" by relying on raw, insufficiently sourced data? How many times has it lamented that these mistakes have hurt the U.S. abroad? Too many to count.

What would be funny if it weren't so tragic is that some of them were authored by reporters Michael Isikoff and John Barry, the very duo that has itself dealt the U.S. intervention in Afghanistan a blow by stretching poorly sourced information into a false report about the deliberate desecration of the Koran by U.S. interrogators.

....

It's only getting harder. Back in November 2003, Newsweek complained in a cover story that Vice President Dick Cheney "bought into shady assumptions" leading into the Iraq war, partly because of his "dire view of the terrorist threat." In its Koran story, Newsweek itself bought into shady assumptions, partly because of the media's dire view of the U.S. military. And so the media party continues its decline.

Jimmy I apparantly have a hard time finding out where random voices come from. Anyway you haven't called me Stacey in a long time, so, props to you:)

YES there are Dodger games in the summer. You're a punk. I wanted to go to that one. Fifteen to five, Dodgers! I can't believe I missed it. Oh well. You should read this term paper I am writing Jimmy. I can't believe the stuff I am reading.

I've been thinking about that Newsweek business too. It's unbelievable to think that this "faulty" information that Newsweek used to publish their story incited bloodshed . . . I don't know what to think.

Filibuster today. Wonder what will happen?

Jimmy,
I have a small prayer request...I was just wondering and hoping you could pray for my best friend and her family in New Jersey. Her Grandpa just died today. It was kind of expected, but apparently some of the family isn't taking it very well. Her mom isn't showing any emotion at all and her cousins are just taking it badly. He was an amazing man, and I think he was a believer, but I'm not sure. Just send one up for my best friend, Lynn, and her family please, and if you can, pass this along. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

I don't ever read Newsweek, but I do read TIME Magazine! Our school always has a stack of them in the media center, and I always take a copy. And to answer your question about when my ship date is, I haven't signed my contract. I'm not really in a hurry right now, just trying to make most of life. I haven't really gotten the chance to do much since I just got fresh out of high school recently. I will sign that contract eventually though, but I'm gonna try to get at least a year of college in before I do that.

<TABLE class=blogbody cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=1 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="5%"> <TD vAlign=top> Your friend gave me your site her names Cara and, I just wanted to ask you a couple simple questions about your faith, Please dont get offended thats not my intentions, anywayz I wanted to know How deep is your faith to God and do you think its right that there are gays and leisbains, because I think insome bibles they say that not allowed, so then heres my theory about that is Jesus died for us but before he did he befriend the poor, theives, and any lower class people right, and another thing before he got hung on the cross he had his feet washed by a prostitute, that lady right there is just as bad as the gays and leisbains, and I dont think many people see that picture. I to am a believer in God and Jesus but some of the bible I can hardly beleive in what they say, and to top that there are many versions to, i mean different writers, but anyways Im sorry its so long but If you could write back that would be great thank you ~Ben~

Wow Jimmy Lee is busy shining God's light as always In response to your questions, I am very busy at school. Graduating highschool this year! So much to do before the grand night though. As to my faith, I am doing far better then I deserve. Right now my soul is in a inner turmoil as I continue to fight my sin nature. To serve God or the world. This choice comes up almost in every situation. Some fights I win, some I lose, but I know who my Saviour is and that in Him my ultimate victory is alread secured. Praise be to God! As to the La Rouche bit I wish I had something I've tried reading some of there bigger handouts... About at engaging as watching paint dry ) But hey before I lacked a partner to take it to them. What have your interactions with the La Rouche people been like? My own experince they were very aggresive with speech and didn't really want to face up to there logic. They just kept spouting facts at me! It got old quick.....Oh yeah your web site is down or something because that link takes me to a closed down site... Well thats it for me right now my brother. If you have a slot of memory in your brain thats free, could you pray that I survive this graduation and that my actions during this season would give glory to the King on high. Thanks bro, is there anything that you would like me to pray for?
