The TWXSTERS give further evidence their no-longer-flagship pulp pile could print any day of the week and it wouldn't help: PEOPLE NEWSRAG turns 9/11 into Vietnam. We don't know who this Nancy Gibbs is (wasn't she a heroine in a girl's book or something?), but if this be the bold, forward voice of the NEW PEOPLE NEWSRAG the TWXSTERS had better get ready to fold it, which can't come soon enough.

And as he's booted out of the premises -- rather, as he moves to a new strategic position within ST. WARREN's media heaven -- Mr. Mark gives us News You Can Use® about the Every Child a Dilbert Act -- mostly what we could already guess. (You'd think these folks would be celebrating because it means more money to K * * * * N.) One thing we already know: the newsrags are the blindest of the blind leading the blind.

P. S. Speaking of blind, the publisher of PEOPLE NEWSRAG, Richard "Can't Anyone Here Play This Game?" Stengel, barely cognizant his cover story turns 9/11 into Vietnam, issues a -- NOTE:

A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to have attended a small lunch for General Brent Scowcroft, National Security Adviser [SIC] to President George H.W. Bush.

That's FORTUNATE? Or are you merely showing off? It must have had an effect though as it brought out Dick's INNER SENATOR:

At the end of World War II, we faced a new world order that challenged some of the basic tenets of what we stand for as a nation. In response, we developed a bipartisan foreign policy to deal with those new challenges and dangers. We helped create nonpartisan global institutions like nato [common PeopleNewsrag.com SIC], the World Bank, the U.N. and the Marshall Plan. The strategy of containment was accepted by both parties. I believe that our circumstances today offer a similar opportunity and we must consider policies and actions on a comparable scale, with that same spirit of bipartisanship. This is an opportunity we cannot afford to let slip. We must be as creative today as our predecessors were a half-century ago. Realism and idealism are two strains not only in our foreign policy but also blahblahblah....
