Have a Great New Year!!!
I've been away from the computer for a few days. I am working on a "Year in Political Hypocrisy" post that looks at the previous year. The only problem with it is that there was so much political hypocrisy that the post is becoming unwieldy. It should be out next week.

In the meantime, Robert Parry has a special report on the Moonie Times titled, "The GOP's $3 Billion Propaganda Organ." It's a long read (over 15,000 words) but should be read by anyone cncerned about this country. I've always thought that Moon and others low-balled the figure when they claimed that it has only been about a billion or so dollars that the Moon has pumped into the Times to keep it afloat. Quick note: Parry isn't kidding when he writes about Senator Orrin Hatch's ties with Moon. Hatch even co-wrote a song, "The Jerusalem Peace Song", for one of Moon's front groups.

UPDATE: I found this video of Hatch kissing Moon's wife's ass right before she declares the end of the completed Testament Age:

In 1993 the U.S. senator introduces his friend, the wife of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who proceeds to declare the end of the Completed Testament Age. For those of you keeping score at home: 1. Old Testament 2. New Testament 3. Reverend Moon's Completed Testament
