A Very Merry Christmas And Happy New Year »

* Bumped up *
To the Health Care Industry, Big Pharma, and a few select states. Yes, in the wee hours of the morning (okay, 7:00 a.m.), the Senate voted to pass the Health-Care-less-what-the-people-and-physicians-say Bill. Oh, yes – what a banner day. The Senate rammed through a bill so fraught with problems it [...]

Palin vs. Clinton – Sean Hannity’s Lies About Hillary »

Last night, Hannity of FOX News had two female panelists, both conservatives, discussing Sarah Palin’s new book, her great success selling 300,000 copies the first day and the derangement syndrome of the left in trashing her and calling her “dangerous.” Obama’s campaign arm, Organizing for America, is looking to raise $500,000 to combat this [...]

Jake Tapper, And The Press Pool, Stand Together »

(Bumped up Saturday a.m. from Friday afternoon.)
With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry [...]

“Obama To Tackle Gay Law, Aide Says” »

That’s the headline I saw Monday morning at AOL . Of course my response was, “Whaaa” For real?? How fortuitous since General McChrystal is saying we need more troops in Afghanistan! Is this true??” And then I read the article. The short answer is, “No.”
Here is the [...]

wolf blitzer in jeopardy »

Wolf Blitzer got spanked by Andy Richter in Celebrity Jeopardy. And he looks as miserable as his performance.
H/T Hot Air
According to Wikipedia, “The incident created a stir when, after airing, CNN President Jonathan Klein suggested that Andy Richter might be a better choice to host The Situation Room than Blitzer.”
Perhaps those in glass houses [...]

By The Numbers »

Yes, it is a Numbers Game today. My blogging buddy, Diamond Tiger at Logistics Monster had this video at her blog today, which I am shamelessly stealing (hey – she’s on HI time – she is up when we East Coasters are dead asleep, even though she is at the March on Washington. [...]

President Obama Isn’t Shedding Any Tears Over Katrina Victims »

Actor/author/director/satirist Harry Shearer wrote an excellent commentary for CNN about his “adopted hometown: “Does Obama Care About New Orleans.” First he discussed the encouraging news that the city is becoming a leader in charter school enrollment, working to clean up local politics and is a city once again “throbbing with energy” but then [...]

“Obama On Drugs: 98% Cheney?” »

The other day, I saw a post by Greg Palast, one he originally wrote for Huffington Post. When you read it, you will see why that is kind of funny. I wonder how they responded to it over there? I’m not about to go there and give them the traffic to find [...]

The Only Way To Bear It? »

As you probably know by now, Obama had his face on national television – AGAIN – for what, the 174,318 time since he took over the White House? How ever many times it has been, this time was continuing to push his version of a Universal Health Care plan. You know the one [...]

Tingle Up My Leg Award for Cable News »

Fox Cable News reduces its competitors to Lilliputs, who in this reference to Gulliver’s Travels, have been unable to catch Fox sleeping long enough to tie it down.
Instead, Fox is the winner of my Tingle Up My Leg Award, named for MSNBC’s Chris “Tweety” Matthews. Unfortunately for Tweety, his show commands [...]

Is Pakistan Fighting Back Against Taliban? »

The U.S. has spent billions to arm the Pakistani army and police, and contributed thousands of manhours training the troops. Yet the Pakistanis are sending in token police and soldiers to fight the Taliban, and rapidly ceding large areas:

As I write this, the CNN video and transcript aren’t up, so [...]

Why does this reporter still work for CNN? »

That would be Susan Roesgen. I can’t remember the last time I saw a reporter behave so unprofessionally … well, except for last week’s astounding use of the term “teabagging” by Keith Olbermann, Andrew Sullivan, a giggling Anderson Cooper, and more. Back to Susan: My Inbox is full of videos and stories sent to [...]

cnn reporter smears tea parties, attendees, and potus »

By now you may have seen versions of this top video that has been zooming around the internet, and were posted here on NQ, by Concerned Mother, but the follow up videos are important to see, as well. I originally wrote this post for my own blog (since CM covered it here), but once I [...]

Anderson Cooper: “IT’S HARD TO TALK WHEN YOU’RE TEABAGGING” »

He says it at second 51 of this video:

Teabagging: You seem to know why all your friends in the media are using this term, Anderson. Do you mind elaborating?
