Vivi O’Donnell’s movie

Posted by Moonage on 27 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics, Idiot of the day

OK, I watched the Vivi O’Donnell video. I got the point of the video. I also get the point Rosie is willing to stoop to any level to promote her vitriol. I also think Rosie’s gonna get a lot of heat over this only because she didn’t take the time to make [...]

Would you vote for sticky rice?

This is amusing, and stupid.
Galvin says the federal Justice Department is pressuring Boston election officials to translate candidates’ names into Chinese characters in precincts with prominent Chinese-speaking populations.
But there’s more than a little lost in translation, according to Galvin.
The article goes on to point out the problems converting names to Chinese encounters such as Mitt [...]

I’m with Elizabeth Edwards

Posted by Moonage on 27 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Idiot of the day, The Media

Elizabeth Edwards sent a personal message out to the world for Ann Coulter to hear after Coulter made this rather non-political comment:
“If I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot,” Coulter said Monday, riffing on remarks made by HBO’s Bill [...]

The Plan to Replace Cheney?

Posted by Moonage on 26 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, The Media

Just read this:
The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week’s blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was rising.
That’s Sally Quinn’s assertion. I’m a Republican, and I had never heard that “big question” before. Ever. She then continues [...]

All New York race?

Posted by Moonage on 25 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

The media is making a deal out of the fact the three perceived front runners, Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, and Michael Bloomberg, are all from New York. Just a point of clarification on that story. Rudy is indeed born and raised in New York. Bloomberg was born and spent a lot of [...]

The Senate passed its version of the Clean Energy Act of 2007 last night. I’ve addressed a few of the issues of it before. However, as with most all legislation, it got kind of changed along the way. So, here’s a recap courtesy of CNN:
An increase in automobile fuel economy requirements to [...]

Nancy’s not stupid, she just gets bad advice from Nadeam Elshami

Posted by Moonage on 21 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics

The debate started innocently enough, and I was fairly bored with it. It started something like this:
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, wants to limit Pelosi’s travel to foreign countries through an amendment tacked onto an appropriations bill for the State Department and foreign operations. King sent out a release Thursday titled “Who will she meet [...]

Media putting money where their mouth is

Posted by Moonage on 21 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics, Fun with Numbers, Media, National Politics, The Media

A lot of people feel media in general is horribly biased towards Democrats and liberal politics. Other people think it’s a conspiracy theory. MSNBC kinda puts it all in perspective in a very simple way I had never even thought of doing. They looked at where journalists give their money. Now, [...]

Steve Forbes takes aim at Congress taking aim at oil companies

Posted by Moonage on 21 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: Energy Policy, Oil Policy, Political Correctness

Steve Forbes is all undone about the political posturing of several members of Congress who are making claims they’re gonna fix the price of oil. Here’s a couple of snippets:
First up is to outlaw “price gouging,” which they allege is behind the run up in prices - never mind the rise in the price [...]
