Is it conceivable that this might be a consequence of what people used to call "an honest mistake," rather than the sort of dog-kicking wickedness that deserves a blog-swarming?
Maybe people don't need journalists to help them see through the lying promises of people like George W. Bush.
Maybe people know the "facts" and vote for Republicans because they like the violence that Republicans reliably deliver.
After 2000, 2002 and 2004, you want journalists, or anybody, to have greater faith in the electorate?
I, for one, am glad that the religious and the secular can find common ground in the need to tell me how moral they are.
Were "warlord," "warmonger" and "war lover" taken for other CNN documentaries?
I wonder if Benedict thinks of what he did to Hans Kung as protecting the faith or academic politics.
Which would make the men and women who write for the National Review and various right-wing blogs Dick Cheney cosplayers. A painful thought.
Maybe his prediliction for being addressed as "Dr." offended GE's sensibilities.
"Sorry about that, Chief."
As Nero Wolfe tells us, a guest is a jewel, resting upon the cushion of hospitality.
The name is spelled "Kierkegaard."
"Kirkegaard" is the modern Danish spelling of the word for "churchyard" -- as in, "Soren Kierkegaard is buried in Assistens Kirkegaard," as depicted here.

If Lincoln was running the show, there'd be a hell of a lot more chilling of dissent going on. There'd also be a #*&(#@ draft.
I doubt that the Railsplitter would have invaded Iraq before having captured Osama bin Laden.
I can't believe how quickly a rant on breasts degenerated into a discussion on ancient history.
Isn't that sort of a reversal of the usual progress of comment threads? I.e., start out arguing about the identity of the inventor of the pith helmet, end up discussing how actresses on television are too thin.
I think the iconogrpahy of skintight superhero garb generally follows the example of Superman, who was the forerunner, and whose costume mimicked those of circus acrobats. But a heroic figure in a skintight suit, as Warren Ellis has pointed out ad nauseam, is effectively naked, and heroes have been routinely depicted in the nude before (i.e., on Greek vases).
