According to Roger Ailes, head of Fox News, Democrats will rue the day if they choose to boycott his network during the upcoming election.  First, I think Ailes needs to get over himself.  Fox News may still be popular, but the network has been losing viewers for years.  They have no more control over who Americans vote for than any other network. Yeah, Fox News is pretty much the mouthpiece of right wing bullshit politics, but those people aren’t going to vote for a Democrat anyway.  So, get over yourself, Rog.  Second, I think Democrats are handling this wrong.  No, unlike Ailes I don’t think the boycott infringes on freedom of speech.  Get real, Rog, they’re not stopping you from comparing Barak Obama to Osama bin Laden; they’re just saying they won’t participate.  However, what Democrats are doing is giving Fox News too much power over them.  It would have been better to attend the debate, I think, and denounce Fox News there.  Moreover, Barak Obama needs to develop a thicker skin because this is nothing compared to what could happen if he wins the nomination.

According to a government audit, the FBI has seriously misused the power it was given in the Patriot Act to snoop into our private business.  I find myself wondering if we should be surprised by this.  Considering this administration’s willingness to the circumvent the constitution and the law of the land coupled with an overly compliant FBI this should be of no surprise to anyone.  You know, I get that the FBI needs to the power to properly track down terrorists, but why is it this administration always wants to go around the law in order to do it?
