The Latest in a Long List of Complaints Will Amount to Nothing Come 2012 »

In the current bout of progressive hand-wringing over President Obama’s latest “compromise” on the Bush tax cuts, everyone from Keith Olbermann to Frank Rich to Paul Krugman to Bill Maher to Eleanor Clift is directing their erstwhile wunderkind to return to his principles, get his mojo back, stop being wimpy and declare his refusal to [...]

We Don’t Blame You, Pat »

Sajak, that is. Mr. Sajak was kind enough to issue an apology recently for Keith Olbermann. Why, you might ask? Many years ago, Mr. Sajak often had Olbermann on his show as a sports analyst. He enjoyed his wry sense of humor and intellect. Hey, so did I, in all honesty.I used to DVR “Countdown,” [...]

What Change Has Wrought »

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 [...]

Pet Peeves »

… is when someone tells me that I am flat-out wrong on a statement of fact, not even entertaining for a second that I could be right, and when shown proof positive, still acts skeptical.

Do You Have Something In Common With The JournoListers? »

Hey, you just might. I admit, I was surprised to see that I agreed with at least one opinion of theirs. But I did. Turns out, the JournoListers hate Keith Olbermann, too! I know, right?? Now, I have said before I used to love the guy, DVR’ed him every night. But, once he started with [...]

Has The BP Oil Spill Broken Through… »

The Hopium Haze of Obama’s followers? Well, if Jon Stewart is an example, I’d have to say yes. Larry Johnson finally got me to start watching Stewart again after a long hiatus. The hiatus began when Stewart jumped on the Obama Sycophant Bandwagon. I was very disappointed that Stewart went that route, but he did. [...]

Tea partiers have pundits and politicians heads spinning. The movement keeps growing. The defy description or easy characterization.

Jon Stewart Takes On Keith Olbermann »

And Olbermann’s response to him. Now you know I used to watch both Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart religiously. I’m not about to start watching Olbermann again, but after the mocking Jon Stewart did of Olbermann, I may just have to start watching “The Daily Show” again. He’s been on fire recently. The other night, [...]
