Your Say
My mother is 87. She was getting to be like Helen Thomas. We took her to a psychiatrist who prescribed medicine for her. One MG of Risperidone daily is al it took. She is much less confrontational now. I hope Helen has a family that will do the same thing for her.

Lesson of the day, comrades: if an average Joe (in this case, a rabbi) with a flip camera can bring down a "Washington Media Institution" all by himself... so can we.
Get over to Amazon.com and check those cameras. Pronto!

Think how much damage Giles and O'Keefe did to ACORN, newton. A small camera, the internet, and that is all she wrote.
The gatekeepers are stil guarding the gates, but they are wondering where the walls went.

Having Helen Thomas 'retire' was an actual pleasant surprise.
I guess even an icon of Liberal Journalism is not invulnerable

Are we absolutely, positively, 100% sure that Eva Braun died in the bunker? If not, we may want to check it out again and see were Frau Thomas was in late April/early May of 1945.
