The worst editorialist in the world is finally gone

January 21st, 2011 | No Comments

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!

Mark Levin takes on the haters

January 14th, 2011 | 2 Comments

People are talking a lot right now that the vitriol needs to be leveled down a lot.  Problem is there are too many people that thrive on it.  To me journalism hit the current low when Keith Olbermann went on MSNBC.  I think he’s the worst editorialist in the world.  The reason, well, just look: [...]

Obama couldn’t sell watermelons

March 9th, 2010 | No Comments

That’s what Dan Rather said. Now, I would have said “ice to an eskimo”, or “s**t to farmer”. But, that would be stereotyping. In Chris Matthews minds, connecting a black man to watermelons is nothing to blink an eye at. Some people will fein shock and horror at Dan for being so, well, obvious. Me, [...]

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 [...]

Nancy Pelosi is shocked by Nazi comparisons, forgets about her party

August 10th, 2009 | 1 Comment

This seems to be a running theme. When the Dems don’t like something, whip out the Nazi comparisons. The headline this week is of course Nancy Pelosi: I haven’t actually seen any footage of swastika wearing health care opponents. I of course could be wrong. But this is just too familiar to me: When Dick [...]

Feingold on Sotomayor

July 13th, 2009 | No Comments

I just listened to Russ Feingold’s ten mintues of fame during the Sonia Sotomayor hearings.  He’s nuts. “That is why I suggest to everyone watching today that they be a little wary of a phrase they may hear at these hearings – ‘judicial activism.’  That term really has lost all usefulness, particularly since so many [...]

62 year old man jokes about knocking up 14 year old girls

June 11th, 2009 | 2 Comments

OK, I gotta admit, I stole that headline from some other blog.  But, it’s so spot on I couldn’t resist. Now, back to the story.  This story ran Sunday: Sarah Palin speaks at fundraiser in St. James Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told a crowd of more than a thousand in St. James Sunday night that [...]

“There are no earmarks or pet projects”

February 13th, 2009 | 4 Comments

That is the bold statement from Nancy Pelosi regarding the stimulus package.  Some people don’t buy that.  I’m sure Keith Olbermann will question her on some of the specifics of the stimulus that some people consider earmarks or pet projects.  I’d either bitch or moan about the stimulus package’s details, and figure out what is [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption – Rod Blagojevich

December 9th, 2008 | 1 Comment

This is just precious: Illinois Governor Arrested on Corruption Charges Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff were arrested in Chicago Tuesday on two counts each of corruption charges relating to trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat. You just have to read it all to get just how fubar this Democrat has [...]

Wanna guess what party Larry Langford belongs to?

December 1st, 2008 | No Comments

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 [...]
