Media FAIL… The Daily Beast Going Bust?

Share Button

Looks like the Harmon family is divesting interest in NewsWeeks Daily Beast online blog. Barry Diller launched The Daily Beast under the auspices of former New Yorker and Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown in October 2008. The presence of Brown, coupled with an emphasis on political coverage that dovetailed with the election of U.S. President […]

Political Fun…. Is Romney Being Bainboated?

Share Button

Though I’m on vacation and have had little time to Digg into the news (the topic of the death of Digg.com will be a subject of my next post), I have noticed the hub-bub concerning Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital from 1999 – 2002, during the period where he spent most of his time successfully […]

Health Care Hysterics!

Share Button

Oh God… This is SOOOO fun!!! Conservatives are PISSED. They lost! Before I get into the juicy bits, let me clarify where I stand on all this. To be honest, I lost too, because I didn’t think the mandate… er… tax, was going to be rule constitutional. I was wrong. But I don’t mind being […]

More Journalism FAIL – Taking Quotes WAY Out Of Context.

Share Button

This is stunning! If you follow my blog, you will know that I can’t stand it when an interview of a news-maker or candidate is edited to make the person look dumb or out of touch. Conservative radio talk hosts do it all the time. I called foul when Breitbart did it with Sherry Sharrod. […]

Crony Journalism At It’s Best… Er Worst.

Share Button

Funny, on the same day Barrack Obama, the guy who deported more aliens of illegal entry (is that PC enough) per month than his EVIL predecessor ever did, suddenly and suspiciously changes this policy right in the grips of a very tight general election contest… Huf-Po blogger Geoffrey Dunn – on that very day, long […]

Citizens United…. Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! (or, to put it bluntly… put up, or shut up) With UPDATE.

Share Button

Venting Alert! Sorry if the following will piss people off, but this is something that has bothered me for the last four years. It’s the phony outrage concerning the Citizen United case. It came up last week when Wisconsin Governor pretty much crushed the opposition that tried to recall him. Because Walker was able to […]

Sour Grapes, Grown From Your Own Vineyard!

Share Button

So, the unions failed miserably, spectacularly  to get Governor Scott Walker thrown from office. Along with the gloating the GOP’ers have earned, there is much hand wringing going on today on the Democrat side of the isle. Except for my favorite political video of the evening, where the challenger gets slapped in the face for conceding the race, which he […]

I Thought Only Conservatives Threatened Violence Against Their Political Enemies!

Share Button

From the comments section of FireDogLake, lamenting the latest pols that show WI Governor Scott Walker will probably survive the upcoming recall effort against him: If you really want to blame someone, blame Feingold and/or Kohl. Walker has millions in lie-filled ads pounding the airwaves 24:7 here. In contrast you see around 1 Barrett ad […]

Does Opposition To Gay Marriage Automatically Equal Bigotry?

Share Button

I have an awful lot of liberal friends who say absolutely yes – Anyone who is opposed to gay marriage, especially due to religious reasons, are bigots, period! In their world view, there is no middle ground. Either you are good and righteous and support same sex marriage, or you are evil and a bigot […]

The “Evolution” Of A Position

Share Button

I wrote this yesterday on Facebook, in regards to President Obamas “evolution” on his position concerning gay marriage: I’ve wrongly been called a denier and anti-science by some of my Global Alarmist friends. Well, in this specific case, I’m going fully on record as saying I don’t believe in “evolution”. This is what he always […]
