The only thing Rick Majerus has led astray are fat phokks to the buffet table.

Majerus gets heat over pro-choice remark

ST. LOUIS – A Roman Catholic archbishop said yesterday that he will ask officials of Saint Louis University to take “appropriate action” against its basketball coach, who said in a television interview that he supports abortion rights. One of the game's winningest coaches, Rick Majerus made the comment at a weekend rally for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke declined to say what the action against Majerus should be, saying that was a decision for the Jesuit university. “I'm concerned that a leader at a Catholic university made these comments. It can lead Catholics astray,” Burke said by telephone as he attended March for Life anti-abortion events in Washington. “I just believe that it's of the essence for people to understand as a Catholic you just cannot hold these beliefs.”

just because the gubmint can't (legally) crack down on "freedom" of the "press" doesn't mean the "free press" can't crack down on itself

Al Jazeera's Struggle for U.S. Airtime

Note that the first commenter has almost certainly never watched a minute of Al Jazeera.

He has a point. If meeeellllions (beeeeeeelllllions?) of people are getting "news" we don't like, it's best that we remain ignorant of it.

Clear Channel trying to kill The Boss's new album

unClear Channel refuses to play Bruce’s new album

Not that i've ever been a Springsteen fan, but if a conglomerate (monopoly in some markets) that owns 1,100 radio staions nationwide refuses to play the #1 album in U.S. America, how is that not censorship?

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Darlin' your tyrants and kings fall to the same fate
Strung up at your city gates
And you're the last to die for a mistake
