FOXNews IS on top again... as they have been for most of this decade.

Soooo... when someone posts anything about ANYTHING, *YOU* infer that

believe in it.

It's surely as accurate as "MakingSureNeophyteBarack(is)Chosen"... you
have to admit that.

One sure sign of a small and parochial mind is its inability to
