Time in thy flight....

Love him or loath him, Al Gore is occasionally animated by a solid idea.
Even as I write this he is flogging an idea 'round the mediaverse for a cable channel for liberal/democratic viewers.
It is ironic that Al Gore is attacking the conservative media establishment given his centrist democrat bona fides.
Geez you'd think he was mad or something at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, with their seemingly endless Savages, Hannitys, O'Reillys, Ingrahams, etc etc etc...
Or maybe Gore has realized that if a moderate such as himself can come in for such flagrant abuse a dyed in the wool liberal will get picked clean in today's environment.
Al's other good idea was to decline an interview with Time Magazine in regards to this notional network.
Time seems to have simply shrugged and gone ahead with the usual hopelessly inane profile written in that shrill patronizing middle school tone that the indispensable newsweekly so loves.
But it's a hollow little article without Al there to put his head on the chopping block.
Oh Time tried...echoing Jeff Jacoby's agitprop line to the effect that the left "lacks new and coherent ideas".
That is a baseless canard worth a whole paragraph these days.
News flash to the above mentioned news media, when I want ideas from the left, I WON'T look for them in the pages of Time Magazine or one of Jeff Jacoby's columns!!!

Yup good for Al...say nothing until you've got that bear trap well oiled with it's teeth properly sharpened.
And Mr. Vice President, if you need any help setting that bear trap drop me a note....
