Quality enemies

As one fraction (the Tea Party) of one third of our government affects the lives of all those governed by it I am struck by their unity. And that unity seems to be that they truly are against anything and everything that Barack Obama supports, no matter who or how many are hurt. Their single minded enmity brings to mind  the memorable sentiment of Franklin Roosevelt, that he is happy to be judged by the quality - or should we say lack thereof - of his enemies.

The Faux News Network Principles


A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
