That’s the headline.  It’s all over the place.  According to whoever wrote this, it could “in theory”, legalize killing abortion doctors.  Pretty harsh huh?  The part they cite that provides that logic is: The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Phil Jensen, a committed foe of abortion rights, alters the state’s legal definition of justifiable homicide by [...]

No sooner than I point out that in order for broadcast journalism to return to the days of the Cronkites and Reasoners, the companies supporting the industry would have to set their standards higher, MSNBC does just that. Good-bye Keith Olbermann!

Recently was sent this link: That’s my image, here’s Townhall’s link.  Since I was a young boy, I hated NPR.  They’ve had a lifelong history of dumbing down content.  If they were reporting a war, you heard incessant gun fire in the background.  The noises alone drove me away.  It just struck me that they [...]

Lou Dobbs is pondering running for president apparently.  He already has a website: http://www.loudobbsforpresident.org.  Well, “someone” has one for him anyways.  And, he’s not denying he’s interested.  So far he seems to be a one issue candidate.  But, since it’s kinda early, and he’s not officially running, that’s hardly a strike.  That one issue is [...]

I’ve stolen that title from Classically Liberal.  It’s not really the point I’m shooting for, but it’s close enough and the article is a riot.  A lot of people have been claiming Obama’s socialist.  I have for that matter.  However, people supporting Obama have dismissed those claims as rhetoric.  However, Obama’s White House PR person [...]

MATTHEWS: That’s not fair. The group in this country that most resembles the Taliban, ironically, is the religious right. Chris Matthews blurts that out as the screen is fading.  His guest was not given any chance to respond other than to blurt out “rubbish”. I think he’s nuts. What do you think? Chris Matthews thinks [...]

Alvaro Vargas Llosa wrote an article for The Washington Post.  For a very brief background of what happened circa 1977, Roman Polanski had sex with a thirteen year old girl.  Rather than going to trial, Polanski plea-bargained to avoid prison.  The judge in the case refused to accept the plea deal.  Polasnki fled the USA [...]

Jon Stewart on his Daily Show: ACORN appears to be a corrupt organization that aids and abets criminals and gets millions of dollars in taxpayer money. [...] Well, this is an impressive expose. I’d love to know the intrepid journalists who broke this story. “60 Minutes”? The AP? That guy who gets the predators? (Shows [...]

I have to admit, I had never heard the term “birther” before. I don’t watch tv much, so I guess that’s why. Dictionary.com doesn’t have a clue what “birther” is either. So, whenever a word is used I don’t know and dictionary.com doesn’t either, I go to urbandictionary.com. They of course have it. According to [...]

I just did a little piece about how media was going the way of National Enquirer.  Now, I was somewhat limited in my disdain since I was relying on the internet for my news.  Apparently, the sexual innuendo wasn’t limited to the internet.  Anderson Cooper had this to say about yesterday’s demonstrations: “It’s hard to [...]
