The Saudi Hollywood Makeover »

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time. This love-hate relationship long precedes the September 11th attacks. The last [...]

Chris Matthews’ Trip To Crazy Town **OPEN THREAD** »

Okay, you know it is bad when other journalists, and frequent guests, are talking about how nutso Chris Matthews has become.

Well, That Is Putting It Mildly About the Brotherhood, Obama »

I will admit right upfront that I did (could) not watch the Bill O’Reilly pre-Super Bowl interview with President Obama. I am not a big fan of either one of them (now I know THAT comes as a shocker, especially about Obama). I mean, come on already, the Puppy (and Kitten) Bowl was on Animal [...]

Obama’s MSM-Bestowed Halo Continues To Slip »

Yes, indeedy, as time goes by, the media is starting to shake off its KoolAide induced haze, and are beginning to see that – SURPRISE – Obama is a (Chicago-style) politician!! Wow! Who knew? Ahem.

“Ending The ‘Hot Or Not’ Factor” In Journalism **UPDATE** »

Bumped Up || Update Below The Fold I came across an article recently that confirmed what many of us have suspected: the media helps shape opinions on female political candidates. Anyone who has heard the stories about Nikki Haley’s alleged affairs (proven false as her released emails demonstrate, though you rarely hear that), or the [...]

The Day Has Finally Come *Updated* »

Update below the fold. No, not Election Day, though yeah, that’s right around the corner (thank heavens). No, I mean my very last visit with my Physical Therapist. YAY!!! And he came about an hour earlier than usual, too, so that was good. Oh, what a relief. Not that I am done with physical therapy, [...]

Did NPR Surrender To a Radical Group’s Demand for Political Correctness? »

* Bumped up * Many have written about the abrupt firing of NPR and Fox News commentator, Juan Williams, for comments Mr. Williams made regarding Muslims on a recent Bill O’Reilly program. There is no need for me to duplicate their worthy efforts (Bronwyn’s Harbor of NQ has two very good posts on the incident, [...]

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.

That is what people who claim there are mosques four blocks away from Ground Zero, so what’s the big deal with building one near Ground Zero? How far is far enough to suit these Islamaphobic bigots anyway? That is just apples and oranges – yes, there is a mosque four blocks away from Ground Zero, [...]

Fear Itself »

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 [...]

“Demon Pass”? UPDATED »

Editor’s Note: This was written yesterday, and there is another post forthcoming that deals with Pelosi tossing out the “Demon Pass” possibility. Nonetheless, Peggy Noonan has some interesting things to say, especially about the Bret Baier/Barack Obama interview. So, feel free to gloss over the “Demon Pass” part, if you wish, though you can bet [...]
