PS Fox's "1/2 hour News Hour" is, so far, lame. Sorry, but they're humor-impaired, and I really had high hopes for 'em. Too bad Fox took none of my advice -- it shows.

March 4, 2007 - 23:27 ET by sarcasmoPerils of an early verdict, the segment poking fun at "the religion of peace" and terror was pretty damn funny, in a very SNL-like way (which in this case is a good thing). I also found this guy's take interesting.

March 4, 2007 - 16:02 ET by muh-oonAl Roker and Matt Lauer demonstrate how they plan to address critics' concerns on the steep decline of mainstream media's ratings, profits, and reliability. Split seconds after this photo was taken, several members of the audience were made painfully aware of this pair's particular brand of "hard-hitting" journalism when Lauer's braking system failed to compensate for Mr. Roker's mass and velocity.

The NB Staff for intentionally inviting homophonic/racist remarks in response to their “Captionfest” photo, or the actual NB responders for taking the “delicious” bait. Again I say, Sweet Jesus, what’s in your minds? Are you really this perverted? I really think this “captionfest” says it all about the Repugs on this site. CPAC really get’s your juices flowin’, donit? Proof below!!!

March 5, 2007 - 06:32 ET by Jack BauerWell, that's free speech for ya. The right for others to offend anyone they damn well please.
I realize that's a novel concept in your circles, but I suggest you get used to it. It predates you by over two hundred years.
There's no need for ns to step up to anything.
And before you "fire" back with an inane, sophomoric comment about NB removing the privileges of certain people to post on this privately owned site, don't bother to waste our time.
That fallacious and childish argument is dead on arrival and easily refutable.
The editors at NB have every right to regulate their own publication, just like the New York Times is not obliged to publish my letter just because I have the free speech rights to write and mail it to them.
