Chuck Todd, Ben Smith Lament Lack of Trust In Institutions They Helped Destroy

In the end, it's kind of nice to see Todd and Smith reduced to whining, especially when you consider the fact that they’re really not pleading for us to trust government and media.

But don't question Battleground's 49-48% outcome. In fact, don't question anything anymore -- or the media will question you and mock you as a "truther.

'The Best of the Carol Burnett Show' DVD Review: Proof That Comedy Genius Is Timeless

Of course, there's always the worry that like "The Six Million Dollar Man," time will not have been kind to meeting the expectations of childhood. So it was with some trepidation I dived into the set, yes, on Saturday nights. But I had nothing to worry about.

Fuzzy Math?: CNBC Describes New Unemployment Numbers as 'Contradictory'

What this .03% drop means is that the number of unemployed people dropped by 456,000 when only 114k jobs were created--well below the monthly average, and below population growth. Where did 342k people go to lower the number so dramatically just 31 days before a presidential election? Did they retire, leave the planet, die of old age in the unemployment office? 5 Oct 2012
