How we feel and think depends on our data. Being the Browncoats that we are, I doubt many of us get our news by watching the MSM boob toob nooz.

So OOC, where do you get YOUR info? Which sources do you find most reliable?

Take a look. Yeah, they get a lot of weird stuff rolled in, however, they also publish the stuff that other news agencies would be scared to.

WASHINGTON, D.C.- As outgoing President George W. Bush exited the White House for the last time on Monday, taking one final load of high school baseball trophies out to the moving van, witnesses say the swinging door malfunctioned, smacking the Texan hard enough to knock him down onto the icy pavement. When asked to describe the location of the injury, paramedics were reluctant to reply at first, citing HIPAA privacy regulations. Pressed for an answer, they hinted that the door had hit him in the general area of "where the good Lord split him."

"I should have seen this coming," said Bush. "Just in the last week, I was warned several times about this potentiality and admonished to not let it happen."

The injuries sustained in the incident were not critical, say doctors, but there is a strong likelihood that he will feel the need to affect a limp for a month or two in order to save face and generate sympathy. If his approval numbers don't turn around by the spring, however, it's possible that he may have the limp for the rest of his life. In addition, Bush may have suffered minor cranial trauma when the door made contact with his buttocks. According to his medical records, it had been stuck up there since the fall of 2001.

Although initial reports seem to indicate that the episode was nothing more than an accident, outgoing Bush appointees in the departments of Justice and Homeland Security are taking no chances. Secret Service agents quickly apprehended the door and are currently holding it for questioning, but so far no amount of harsh interrogation has managed to glean any information from the alleged assailant.

Unnamed sources tell us that intelligence officers are using their soon-to-expire permission to torture to the fullest extent but to no avail. Agents hung the door outside in the sub zero cold for more than two hours with no results. Later, they poured water over the door to simulate drowning but apparently its ingenious screen caused the water to flow right through it. To the great frustration of investigators, the door was similarly unaffected by loud music and barking dogs.

The primary question on their minds at the moment is whether the door acted alone or if it had an accomplice. For many of the agents working on the case, the plot seems far too complex for an inanimate object to pull off without help of some kind. Then again, they certainly don't want to fall into the trap of underestimating an assailant just because it doesn't happen to have a brain or consciousness of any kind. We can all recall the embarrassment in 2002 when officials failed to vet a pretzel that attempted to choke the President to death just a few yards away from on-duty Secret Service agents.

"I think this incident is a testament to my legacy as President," said Bush from his hospital bed. "I may not have 'protected' the country or abided by the 'Constitution', but hey, at least I managed to escape this job with my life- and in the grand scheme of things, I think that's enough of an accomplishment for any President. So, at least on that front, I come off looking better than Lincoln or Roosevelt. I can live with that

FARK.... you kidding... don't they have a section devoted strictly to boobies....??

that's not news - cute, but not news....

call me old fashioned, but i still pick up a Dallas Morning Newspaper every morning - most of it isn't worth lining the birdcage with, but since it's a daily routine, i suppose it is my favorite...

Broadcast media would be PBS News Hour with Jim Lehrer

eta: still check Huffington Post each day - it was better when it was just news and politics - but still some good stuff there
