Update below the fold. Just from the title of this Sheila Marikar ABC report, you get a hint of a bias. The article doesn’t help to dispel that sensation, rather it escalates it: There’s the stereotype of the Sarah Palin supporter, and then there’s Sonnie Johnson. The 30-year-old African-American mother and wife is featured in [...]

Update below the fold. I know, I know, that can cover a wide variety of issues, and these days there seems to be no shortage of ones that would merit such a response. But in this case, I am referring to Jack Stuef at Wonkette writing a particularly egregious piece directed at – wait for [...]

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard. Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

* Bumped up * An old friend of mine sent me an article recently from NPR, “Teacher Suspended After Stopping Anti-Gay Talk.” My friend was a high school teacher for many years (and now teaches on the community college level), so naturally, this would pique her interest. Mine, too. But the headline is a bit [...]

Many of us who refrained from drinking the Kool-Aid or smoking the Hopium pipe have commented on all of the “changes” we have gotten under Obama. You know, the high unemployment, rampant foreclosures, runaway debt, deficit spending, and broken promise after broken promise. But there is one other “change” that has reared its ugly head [...]

There is much in the news about our current economic crisis right now, the mosque Imam Rauf wants to build near Ground Zero (on purpose), and Obama’s 274th vacation (okay, not really, but it seems like it). But I’m not talking about any of that. Nope, I have some interesting little news tidbits for you. [...]

Some readers of this blog took exception to my post titled “Fear Itself,” which was published on April 6. I’d like to address the objections. Protest is the American way. The health care bill, a massive piece of legislation, had many elements which some could find objectionable. Mandates are worrying, as is the fear that [...]

What sales tactic is the most persuasive? Which emotion, when exploited, motivates human beings to reach for their wallets – or their guns? The answer, of course, is fear. And fear, when stoked by demagogues and poured over a volatile flammable mass only needs one match to create a frightful conflagration. Witness the American “Tea [...]

In light of the recent Health Care vote, the Tea Party marches, and the current sentiment in the country, I found this article by Peggy Noonan to be particularly timely: The Heat Is On. We May Get Burned. Political rage is a national problem, not a partisan one. So where are we? In a dangerous [...]

As the days go on, Nancy Pelosi’s and Barack Obama’s words are ringing true: We will learn what is in the bill once it is passed. Here is one example: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com Some people may indeed WANT to do this, and that is fine. But now people who want to [...]

This day has been jam packed with some mighty interesting news stories, some, once again, offered by our intrepid readers. First up is Rep. Issa claiming there is a “credible allegation” that the White House committed a felony. The allegation stems from Democrat Rep. Joe Sestak: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com I wonder [...]

Every now and then there are moments in the American media that defy description. Nevertheless they must be addressed. Case in point: Washington Post “media critic” Howard Kurtz’s article today about FOX News Channel’s “reporters’” growing discomfort with the shenanigans of FNC darling Glenn Beck, he of the mighty chalkboard of insanity, his ludicrous fits [...]

You may have seen this report of Gay youth who were murdered in Tel Aviv: The spontaneous march in response, the solidarity evident, brought tears to my eyes. While we are on the subject of the GLBT community, as of this writing, according to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, 332 service members have been dismissed [...]

Are extremists infiltrating our own military to the point of inadvertently training terrorists who will attack us in the future? It turns out that at least 40 persons who list their occupation as “military” are profiled on the Internet forum New Saxon, a Facebook-like site operated by the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement. Is this a [...]

David Letterman is still feeling the heat for his jokes attacking the Palin daughters, and finally decided to do the right thing, and apologize. And no, he didn’t apologize last week. He made excuses and covered his buttocks. There is a web site called firedavidletterman.com that is organizing a rally to be held outside of [...]
