    Sure.. It's just somehow, each and every example always falls into a tyranic mess or economic morass.

    Honestly, I haven't seen any Citgo stations around Michigan, or in Canada, but I wouldn't go there either way.

    Wow, Chavez is going through the tyrant checklist so fast you think he was on a deadline.

    I don't want them shut down. I just want their budget slashed so bad that they couldn't afford an opinion.

    Ya, then the only opinion you would hear is from the guy who can afford to give you one.

    I'm sorry.. was CTV a Conservate or Liberal shill these days?

    I'll support a broadcaster who I like but I'll be damned if I'll be happy supporting one that keeps telling me that I'm on the wrong side.
