Truth or Consequences: Big Media Pays for its Addiction to Obama’s Cult of Personality »

In Newsweek, Howard Fineman opines about The Limits of Charisma. When sycophants like Fineman say “Mr. President, please stay off TV” and are worried enough to warn the President that it’s time to fish or cut bait, we are all in hot water.
My fellow writers and I have posted many stories these last [...]

Say No to Newspaper Bailouts! Exercising the Power of the Purse »

What is the Constitutionality of a Newspaper Bailout? That was the question recently posed by Jeff Bercovici of Conde Nast’s Portfolio.com. This issue has come to the fore because various members of Congress are currently considering such an action.
Without even commenting as to any possible First Amendment breach by virtue of [...]

I knew Newsweak would piss me off with the year ender »

It is after all my treasure trove of crap.

The New Global Elite

First piss off is the Conventional Wisdom/Up or Down graphic column. [...]

Yes, Governor Kathleen “my teenage son told me I had to support Obama” Sebelius of Kansas decided she just couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Nope! She had to make sure her [...]

O bombs »

How glorious.
Glow Fading?
A month after emerging victorious from the bruising Democratic nominating contest, some of Barack Obama’s glow may be fading. In the latest NEWSWEEK Poll, the Illinois senator leads Republican nominee John McCain by just 3 percentage points, 44 percent to 41 percent. The statistical dead heat is a marked change from last month’s [...]

ALTERed State of Unconsciousness »

One thing I have had to learn to accept during this nomination process is that for some reason the Cultists just keep getting stupider. It must be a side effect from all the Cult-Aide they have imbibed. Maybe it is like absinthe. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling all over and lifts you with [...]
