Rules of Engagement

These are very important to remember if you're working for any network or cable news outlet (including the so-called "progressive" MSNBC). Here's the bottom line:

• ‎25 tea partiers anywhere = national news coverage.
• 37,000 unemployed people protesting in Raleigh = apparently not network newsworthy.

Any questions? Good. You now know the rules. But as my friend Pete pointed out: "Read your constitution. Ben Franklin had the foresight to guide the framers (with the help of Jesus, of course) to set the ratio for worker value at one tea partier to 1480 workers. It was called the 3/4440 compromise. It's right there in black and sepia, you commie."

I'm glad we had this discussion.
