Jeer - Eric Ruff, political appointee of the Pentagon, left behind notes at a Starbucks detailing part of the Bush administration's strategy on handling the Dick Clarke v. Condoleezza Rice issue. The notes were then found by a Starbucks employee and published on a liberal advocacy group's Web site. The Daily Orange would like to jeer the jackass coffee server for not minding his or her own business. If anyone else left behind a personal note, none of us would want to have the green-aproned hipsters that serve overpriced lattes and cappuccinos to pry into its contents. Given that Ruff's notes weren't detailing plans to assassinate John Kerry, bomb China, or the secret ingredient to Coca-Cola, the publisher of the notes quadrupled in lame points once uploaded. It's ridiculous to think that the Bush administration doesn't have a strategy for dealing with Dick Clarke's claims; it's part of their job as the people who run the country to figure stuff like this out. They should be left alone while doing some of it.
Cheer - The past week has been a successful one for liberals in terms of getting their voice out in mainstream media. Comedian and author Al Franken has been syndicated in five major cities and XM Radio with his own liberal radio talk show. Also, former Vice President Al Gore is reportedly very close to sealing a deal with the Vivendi Corporation in acquiring a cable TV channel. While the station will allegedly be targeted at a younger age bracket, it's hard to believe that someone with a leftist agenda like Al Gore wouldn't use such an outlet for combat personalities such as Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Michael Savage. The Daily Orange would like to cheer these recent achievements and looks forward to a new voice being heard in popular media outlets.
