Defund NPR

January 4th, 2011 | 2 Comments

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 [...]

When 17 equals 300,000

January 28th, 2010 | 2 Comments

This weekend there was a rally in Washington, DC.  It was a pro-life rally.  There was also a counter-protest of abortion supporters.  CNN reported: According to Rick Sanchez, both sides were represented. He couldn’t really tell which side was best represented. He was standing in a crowd of about 300,000 pro-lifers and a couple of [...]

Lou Dobbs for President?

November 23rd, 2009 | No Comments

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 [...]

How the health care supporters are finally getting organized

August 10th, 2009 | 1 Comment

They’re calling in the SEIU of course. The advantages of this of course are obvious: They’re already organized and staffed. You don’t have to worry about paying them since they’re on salary. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t have to question their loyalty. You don’t have to worry about explaining what the issue is. You [...]

Dick Durbin and the Texas lobbyist

August 10th, 2009 | No Comments

This is precious.  Dick Durbin is convinced all of the very vocal opposition to health care reform as it’s been sort of, well not really, presented, is orchestrated by one Texas lobbyist. Embedded video from CNN Video For some inexplicable reason, CNN edited out the “Texas lobbyist” part. But, others have it. He made that [...]

Some people just hate birthers

August 4th, 2009 | 2 Comments

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 [...]

Facebook and the death penalty

June 3rd, 2009 | No Comments

Sometimes I feel like most of my views are totally contrarian.  That beliefs in traditional values and harsh consequences for harsh actions is something most people can’t deal with.  Then I see something like this on Facebook: Results: Is the death penalty wrong? Yes 7,880 No 16,568 Now, Facebook’s as hip as it gets.  This [...]

Cooper and Shuster love teabagging

April 16th, 2009 | No Comments

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 [...]
