The World Changing Before Our Eyes! Pt 2

Share Button

I may sometimes have my quibbles with Andrew Sullivan, but as he did with the protests in Iran, he and the crew at The Dish is doing an excellent job of covering the current unrest / unraveling occurring in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Rush is on in the background, and he’s ragging on the First […]

God Bless Shep Smith!!!

Share Button

Once again, he get’s it. Shows once again, he is one, some might say the only voice of sanity on FOX. And Napolitano asks THE question: “What kind of government are WE protecting?”. Hey Sully….  Sheppard Smith for President? PS. I love the way Shep gets a kick out of saying the name “Brad-ass” over […]

Misleading Headline Of The Week

Share Button

“U.S. conservatives at odds with Vatican over condoms Several say they will only accept a more formal papal pronouncement” If you didn’t read the article, you would immediately think the “Conservatives” are referring to US politicians. That said, this is my favorite line from the story: “We’re in for a long period of confusion,” said […]

Malkin Award Nominee

Share Button

“One wonders when and if the mama grizzly will publicly apologize for her daughter’s use of the term “faggot”. She cannot claim her children are off-limits, when she uses them constantly to advance her own career. And in the wake of recent young gay suicides, Palin’s silence on this demonization of a peer is, while […]

I was first alerted to this story by my blog friend David Schraub. Here’s more from The Daily Newsweek… er, I mean The Daily Beast (it was just announced that they had bought out Newsweek this morning). I watched some of the video of the Glenn Beck Show called “The Puppet Master” (hint, the movie […]

The Sinking Of The Edmund Fitzgerald – 35 Year Ago Today.

Share Button

Here are more meteorological details than you ever thought you’d know about this tragedy . Like many of my generation, I only know of the story through the lyrics of the Gordon Lightfoot song about the ship. As a kid, I remember listening to the song, and thinking that the Edmund Fitz must have been a real […]

Sarah Palin Versus Reading Comprehension!

Share Button

Either that, or she has a DeLorean Time Machine, in which case I apologizes in advance. So, upon my usual morning web surfing, I came across this headline: Sarah Palin Shreds WSJ Reporter For Not Being Able To Read His Own Paper Uh Oh, some reporter from the “lame-stream press” as she is so fond […]

Laugh Of The Day! Opinion – Uninterrupted; Olbermann unsuspended.

Share Button

Golly, I do hope those two days off learned him a lesson! Restating my assertion that Keith Olbermann never should have been suspended, NBC has thankfully ended it. He’ll be back on the air on Tuesday. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of Olbermann’s program by any means, but to punish him, […]

The Price Is Wrong!!!!

Share Button

This is the part where “The Price Is Right” music plays in your head. The price, of course, is for the trip to India President Obama is about to take. According to conservative rabble-rouser Mike Huckabee and Rep.  Michele Backmann, President Obama’s trip will be costing $200 million per day! WOW! Great Headline! Too bad […]
