Here we go again.  Jack Cafferty writes for CNN: If drugs were legalized, we could empty out a lot of our prison cells. People will use this stuff whether it’s legal or not. Just like they do booze. And you could make the argument that in some cases alcohol is just as dangerous as some [...]

Reaction to Obama’s speech in the media is about as predictable as you’d expect.  Fox is finding all kinds of problems with it, CNN is lauding how their poll reaction was.  MSNBC couldn’t contain themselves during the Republican response.  I’d run a poll here, but I know most of my readers don’t like Obama, so [...]

OK, so we got a tv station owner in Buffalo, NY.  He’s got a beautiful wife.  For reasons I’m not aware of, the tv station owner decides things are not good between them and therefore cuts her head off at the station. Now, this is juicy stuff that makes for a made-for-tc movie and endless [...]

WSFA is reporting that Birmgingham, Alabama mayor Larry Langford has been arrested by the FBI on some pretty serious charges.  At this point CNN nor MSNBC feel it’s a story worth printing. If you read the local story, it’s pretty lengthy.  It gets into what the background of the investigation is, who’s involved, and some [...]

Some media are having a difficult time reacting to the charges by McCain that they are completely and unashamedly pushing their candidate.  They have discussed it, they have debated, and some to a small degree, have admitted it.  If one has any doubts at all, all they need to is go to CNN’s front page [...]

This is getting too predictable to ignore.  However, the media in general pretty much has.  See if you can follow me on this. In 2000, we were definitely changing presidents.  It was a neck and neck race with two very politically diverse candidates running.  One was a staunch conservative Republican and the other was a [...]

A lot is being made over the Republicans, me included, complaining how biased the media has been.  I could cite evidence all day and night if I felt like it.  I’ll just cite a couple of quickies from my own observations in no particular order: Sarah Palin has been scrutinized mercilessly, criticized, and editorialized relentlessly [...]

Several in media have been insinuating that there might be a double standard at play regarding Sarah Palin.  Let’s see.  We’ve had a couple of very recent events to compare.  So, let’s do, shall we? John Edwards ran for President as recently as early this year. He ran on ethics primarily.  He lost but maintained [...]

Now, my peeps here know how I feel about Condi Rice.  So, I think, smarting from the Obama/Hillary dustup, Anderson Cooper decided to try and turn the wheels on McCain by planting the seed of discontent in folks like me over McCain “snubbing” Condi in the manner of Obama snubbing Clinton.  Two serious differences here that [...]

Immediately after it became known that Sarah Palin would be John McCain’s running mate, CNN ran a poll asking people if they had supported Hillary Clinton if they would now consider McCain/Palin.  Approximately 41% at the last I saw it said yes.  That’s enough to turn this election into a washout for Obama.  So, CNN [...]
