And that's not all. Lenora Fulani has a column at World Net Daily, a hard right news/commentary web site that Joseph Farah edits. A while ago, I sent a e-mail to one of their writers on a story they ran, at a length of pages and pages, on the, "militant homosexual agenda" in the public schools re: the stright-gay alliance student clubs contro in an Orange County, Ca. high school. For all the words the writer spent decraying moral decay and such, my brief e-mail, didn't even get a thank you form letter response.

P.S. And on Peter K.'s list of words to be banned, how about adding these two from the lazy journalists and editors stylebook, "Self-described activist..., " "In a scene reminiscent of the 60's, " and "left-leaning" when describing orgs and individuals that don't lean left, they are left! Like IPS, who I've seen described that way. For the converse it would be like saying "right-leaning" to describe Tom DeLay. And a new one, I noticed in the SF Chronicle to describe, CSIS, the conservative think tank on foreign policy at Georgetown, "non-partisan". Well, ya, they have Demos and Repubs, but they are all right-wingers.
