Anti-Fox News Burger King

I was in the local Burger King today sipping a cold Diet Coke and watching CNN on their TV when I over heard one of the Republican natives (Indiana) complaining to the Manager/Owner about their playing CNN instead of FOX News.  The owner is from the Middle East (I think Iraq from his accent and his comments about Saddam).

MSN is reporting that Christopher Penn was found dead.

Actor Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn, was found dead Tuesday at a condominium near the beach in Santa Monica, police said.

Police said they discovered the 40-year-old actor's body around 4 p.m. Lt. Frank Fabrega said there were no obvious signs of foul play.

Sean Penn's publicist, Mara Buxbaum, issued a statement saying that "the Penn family would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time."

Chris Penn's body was found inside the four-story condominium complex after police were called by someone from within the building, Fabrega said.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death, authorities said.

NBC takes a page from FOX (Poll)

I clicked a "Question of the Day" poll on the NBC site and to my horror was treated to a web page that was like something you would read on FOX.  

First the Question: "Are war critics "irresponsible" for saying the Bush Administration manipulated intelligence?"

Fortunately at the time of this writing, not many are falling for this with the poll standing at yes=21% no=79%
