a couple of years ago about the coming housing bubble. It made sense to me, so I sold my two rentals in San Diego. My friends thought I was crazy. Now, the same units are being sold in foreclosures at an asking price $150,000 each less than what I sold them for. I am sleeping well and my money is safely in T-Bills thanks to you guys. br> -- H.

The nation's media outlets will no doubt have their hands full trying to pooh-pooh Andrew Cline's sarcastic take on their reaction to the resignation of Karl Rove. But I believe that he has judged the media too harshly here. According to the latest edition of the "WEB-ster's Internet Dictionary and Eclectic Guide to Astute Politics" (WIDE GAP) compiled by dispassionate contributors to the Daily Kos and edited by the unbiased columnists from the New York Times editorial page, the definition of the word "impartial" is: (1) An opinion rendered by someone who sufficiently hates all things conservative or Republican. (2) Any statement that comports to the notion that all things done or said by political enemies of liberalism are inherently evil.

p>Using this indisputably non-partisan definition, it should be abundantly clear that no commentary appearing in MSM publications about the aforementioned Mr. Rove violates anyone's idea of sound journalistic standards or practices. Nor is there a shred of evidence to suggest that their characterization of him was unfair. Mr. Cline's veiled implication of some sort of media bias is therefore without merit. The problem is that all you right-wing neocons, paleocons and other assorted knuckle-dragging Neanderthals deny the fundamental truth as outlined in this, the secular progressive bible. You all need to learn to be more objective and stop trying to cram your pernicious ideology and your harmful religion down our throats. Ours is better and you know it. You people do not deserve freedom of speech and must be stopped! br> -- Rick Arand br> Lee's Summit, Missouri
