- Sunday's "60 Minutes" piece about the incarceration of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, a Democrat, didn't air on WHNT-TV in Huntsville, Alabama. The story alleged that the prosecution was political, with involvement by former Bush advisor Karl Rove. What a coincidence that the CBS affiliate just happens to be owned by two brothers who were huge fundraisers for Bush/Cheney in '00 and '04 (at the "Pioneer" level), and that their "technical difficulty" lasted exactly the length of the "60 Minutes" piece. As broadcasters, it's their absolute right to pick and choose what they want to air, but if that's the case, they should be honest about it. Raw Story has more, and here's the "60 Minutes" story.

On the first story, to paraphrase one of my favorite characters from a TV sci fi series " Of course I believe in coincidences, I just don't trust them" .
On Ralph Nader's running (again) for President. The writer from the Nation expressed my thoughts far better than I could. Mr. Nader is putting his ego over the good of the American people.
