Just had to ask. You share a first name and our Melbourne area as homes. I thought I detected some extra makeup in those pictures. :^)

I still have the Bush Legacy, Whither Conservatism, and some Errata to go. Looks like it will be a total of 9 diaries.</p> <p>Maybe at some point Jack will let me post some of the comedy night, I can't tell you how funny that was. But he has a good point, people paid a premium to go on a cruise and see that. Not really fair to turn around and give it away for free.</p> I promised Jack Fowler (the NR publisher) that I won’t post the comedy night video, so I have 3 more of these to get up.

Maybe at some point Jack will let me post some of the comedy night, I can’t tell you how funny that was. But he has a good point, people paid a premium to go on a cruise and see that. Not really fair to turn around and give it away for free.

I only gave it one sentence though, not an entire diary. :)</p> <p>I wish Brent had been a little less dismissive though, someone with connections to Bain Capital should be able to leverage a buyout on the NY Times or CBS.</p> But I did mention that in my post election diary.

I wish Brent had been a little less dismissive though, someone with connections to Bain Capital should be able to leverage a buyout on the NY Times or CBS.

Nevertheless, the electoral themes SET by the media were followed to the letter. Most Americans think the Bush economy was horrible. The successes in Iraq went utterly unmentioned. The recent economic freefall CAUSED by Democrats was successfully hung around the necks of Republicans.

Why? Because the national media DOMINATE the scene. They set the terms of the debate. They still do, and they will for quite some time.

Mitt Romney, our resident business genius, said, let’s buy some. He agrees with yours truly, as I wrote in this diary just the other day.

Bozell’s thoughts are forward-looking. But I say the dinosaur media aren’t dying fast enough, and while they still can, they are KILLING America. Buy ABC, NYT, and Reuters, I say. Buy them today.
