And yet she got to tell her story.

And yet idiots like bobbski get to tell their story.

What bothers me - and don't let any of teh liars fool you - is that Denver & DNC convention seemed comparatively tranquil in the news reports of protests and demonstrations. It was not, although the gross numbers may be lower than in Minneapolis. The liberal blogs certainly did not emphasize the protests in Denver as they did with Minneapolis.

We've entered a new authoritarian phase. The likelihood of a protester being detained is slowly working it's way higher. And the more likely the conflict or detention, the more regular people - those whom really need to take a stand - are going to be scared away.

We have imported most everything else from China, why not their system of presenting a quiet public scene to TV viewers?
