Every four years, the U.S. press corps vows not to get lost in

off the wagon. On NBC's "Meet the Press," Tim Russert became the
latest big-name journalist to trivialize the selection of the
President.

It took a bit longer than we had expected, but we've finally reach
our spring fundraising goal of $25,000 -- thanks to you.

Of course, we're still happy to accept contributions. And we have
some investigative projects that need special funding

Treason, which we can substitute, if you wish, while supplies last.)
