And the best scolding for their absurd brand of journalism came from Stephen Colbert who satirically suggested the headlines for the rest of the year should just all read “bad thing happens some place; Muslims involved” while journalists devote the rest of their time to the retractions (it’s a must-watch).

With the 2012 election a mere 512 days away, we are re-launching Countdown in time for tonight's Republican primary debate on CNN in New Hampshire. Even though the debate won’t include all the delightful candidates polling below 2%, we’ll try not to be as elitist as CNN is accused of being but we are still launching our 2012 coverage with the first debate that people from Washington care about. Read it and let us know what you think. And even better, feel free to drop us an email with items we should include in future editions of Countdown. Read More »

Or would we? Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War, and it’s an opportunity for us all to reflect on how we let a small group of neo-conservatives capitalize on the fear of terrorism to launch our country into an unnecessary and counterproductive war. Good thing that kind of broken foreign policy-making is a thing of the past, huh? There’s no way, in our modern enlightened age, that we would sit idly by while Congress pushed the country ever-closer to war, relying on circumstantial evidence of an “imminent threat” based on weapons of mass destruction that no one has actually confirmed. And there’s certainly no way we’d believe that a military confrontation with a large, populous state in the greater Middle East would somehow improve regional stability, instead of driving the region deeper into chaos. After all, the majority of American people don’t favor military intervention right now, and our president has stressed the importance of diplomacy with even the most intractable regimes. So, rest easy, Countdown readers, there’s just no way our government is foolish enough to attack any countries that start with I-R-A anytime soon, right? Right? Read More »
