Kathy Griffin won an Emmy for making people laugh.  Well some people anyway, I don’t have a clue who she is.  However, she felt compelled to undo that laughter with her acceptance speech: “A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this,” Griffin said. “Suck [...]

Fred Thompson was speaking in Sioux City, Iowa.  When asked about progress in Iraq, he gave an answer that sort of baffled not only some people in the audience, but apparently a good part of main stream media.  To wit: “They said, ‘You gotta quit smoking,’” Thompson explained to a questioner asking about progress in [...]

Whoopi Goldberg replaced Rosie Odonnell on The View.  Rosie being gone is a good thing because Rosie seemed to rely on rhetoric, stupidity, and generalizations as a basis for most of “the views”.  However, Whoopi’s been known to drop some stupid bombs of her own in the past.  Apparently not much has changed by replacing [...]

I pretty much figured this would happen a lot sooner than I did find it.  Jeff Fecke at Shakesville ponders: ….if Craig had been arrested for public nudity or having sex in a bathroom stall, I could understand this better. If he’d been arrested for soliciting a prostitute, I’d be all in favor of him [...]

Don Henley summed up the media industry perfectly a long time ago with Dirty Laundry: I make my living off the evening news Just give me something-something I can use People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry Case in point, Friday the Dow lost 281 points. It was all over the media. [...]

There has been a lot of finger pointing and flat out lies already flying off tv and the blog world regarding the collapse of the I35 bridge. I have read several articles that blamed everyone from Bush for having troops in Iraq to Republicans not funding infrastructure properly since 1990. ( Best I recall, the [...]

Nancy Pelosi had this to say about the $22 billion difference between Congress and the White House budgets: …..Democrats want to work with the president “to negotiate the very small difference between Democrats and Republicans on these appropriations bills.“ I’m still waiting for CBS and the rest to lambast her for her obvious fiscal irresponsibility.

Mark Levin over at The Corner on NRO had this comment: So, the Iraqi government reportedly hasn’t met any of its targets . Has the Democrat Congress met any of its targets? Now, being as this is the first time I’ve ever seen a need to actually quote National Review here, I thought it must [...]
