PAUL BEGALA, on Crossfire: "Fox is suing over Franken's use of the phrase "fair and balanced." See, Fox trademarked that phrase in 1995 as a slogan for its alleged news network.
"Now I don't get the whole controversy. Franken is, after all, a comedian. And the notion that Fox is fair and balanced is a joke. So what's the problem?"

Tips for talking about Resident Bush with your children
Don't point and laugh, dear, and keep your fingers away from his mouth.
"Think about your values as they relate to this situation. What are your family's values about telling the truth? What would you do if your child lied to you and when you scolded him or her, he or she replied: 'I am not a fact-checker.' Or added, 'Isn't it time to move on?'
"Ask your children to tell you what words mean to them. Explain that words have consequences and lies can come in two, six or 16 words."
Katrina Vanden Heuvel writes: "On the Eve of the Clinton impeachment hearings in 1998, the Sexuality Information and Education Council sent out 'Ten Tips for Talking about the Starr Report with your Children.' It's now 2003, and if the events of these last weeks don't provide parents with that special opportunity to talk to their children about the resident and values such as truth, lies, and consequences, then I don't know what does. So, with all due credit to the Sexuality Information and Education Council, here are 'Tips for Talking about resident Bush with Your Children.'" - - thanks to democrats.com.
