CNN, all Obama, all the time

Posted by Moonage on 30 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Media, The Media, media bias

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 [...]

Words of wisdom from Mike Shelton

Posted by Moonage on 01 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

I rarely read something I just love any more.  It seems to me most media, and I’m not talking main stream media, I’m talking the whole enchilada, are hell bent on dumbing down their content for entertainment value.  There are a lot I’m sure that just can’t help it.  I mean does anyone really expect [...]

Lipstick, uh, lipstick, uh pig, yeah, that’s it

Posted by Moonage on 10 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

“That’s just, just calling some uh the same thing something different. You know you can’t uh you, you can put lipstick on a pig, is still a pig”
A lot is being made over Obama’s lipstick on a pig comment.  Some are interpreting it to mean he’s sexist.  Some are interpreting it to mean he thinks [...]

Come fight with me ( or how to screw the anarchists )

Posted by Moonage on 05 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Humor, Idiot of the day

Thursday night John McCain gave a rousing speech, finishing it off with a call to fight.  His urge was barely audible over the wildly cheering crowd:

Apparently excited that they finally had a candidate that felt their pain, several hundred anarchists promptly got arrested chanting “F**k the police!”.
OK, hands up here, how many people ever thought [...]

Obama Bushism of the day: Governor of a town?

Posted by Moonage on 02 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large [...]

Why not Condi Rice?

Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

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 [...]

Dick Morris gets it

Posted by Moonage on 28 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

I have never really figured Dick Morris out.  I like that.  I like that a lot.  A lot of people have been scratching their heads over Obama’s campaign so far.  To the average guy who doesn’t get caught up in hysteria or hype, it’s been very puzzling.  It’s not to me.  And, apparently it’s not [...]

Chuck Hagel to be Obama’s running mate?

Posted by Moonage on 14 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, The Media

I’ve seen this a couple of times:
Talk of Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel as a potential running mate for Democratic candidate Barack Obama tends to confound partisans in both parties.
Sure, they’ve been spotted together a few times, but the bottom line is no.  Obama doesn’t appeal to the rational, middle of the road Democrats who would [...]

Keith Olbermann sees a penis in every monument

Posted by Moonage on 05 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Media

Just when I thought it was safe to assume Keith Olbermann was completely nuts, he tops himself.  This is what the pride of the left wing had to say about John McCain’s recent ad featuring two hot young celebs:
KEITH OLBERMANN: What about when it backfires? Because it seems like the celebrity ad continues to echo. [...]

Obama lurches away from his core

Posted by Moonage on 10 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, National Security

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it.  That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]
