Juan Williams Calls Out the Race Baiters…This Is Must See TV! »

Bumped up from Saturday night.
Whatever one may think of Rush Limbaugh, the controversy surrounding his attempts to participate in a consortium buying the Rams has made for some strange bedfellows. Apparently Limbaugh was falsely accused of making racist statements he did not make. Juan Williams of FOX News stood up for the [...]

Them’s Fightin’ Words »

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one [...]

david letterman apologizes, and maher makes desperate cry for attention »

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 his [...]

DADT Is Alive And Well; DOMA, Too »

The issue of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is in the news again after the dismissal of a gay Army Arabic linguist recently (H/T to American Girl in Italy), as Steve Clemons mentioned in his post, “Do Obama’s Private Promises on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Matter?“). Below is an interesting history of how the act [...]

“Obama As A Brand” »

Talk about your marketing ploy, which I, along with others, have been doing for a while now (most recently, “The Campaign’s Over, Obama: It’s Time To Lead“). But the incomparable Chris Hedges has done a remarkable job at highlighting just exactly how true that is (and it is true - his campaign won the [...]

Fitzgerald - Poet of the Jazz Age - a litmus test »

Just as the world can be divided into those who prefer Mozart to Bach and those who don’t, so the world can be divided into those who prefer F. Scott Fitzgerald over Ernest Hemingway and those who don’t.
In my series on the great composers, I found that some of those who [...]

the political correctness of it all »

(bumped up by nasuS)
So, I saw this story yesterday about the kindergarten class that dressed up for Thanksgiving. One parent was outraged, and the school has now put a stop to the practice of dressing up and celebrating the holiday.
Now, I agree that (at a certain age - not in kindergarten) the real story of [...]

shout out to the seventh-graders at ron clark academy! »

These kids are so adorable, and their song and dance moves are just too cute! And I think these kids are smarter than about 90% of the Obama’s supporters you see on TV and in videos.

“You Can Vote However You Like”

A HUGE shout out to the teachers/organizers of this group.

“Unleashed, Palin Makes a Pit Bull Look Tame” »

Sarah Palin has become my new hero. While I don’t agree with some of her political positions, I love that she is unapologetically herself. And she is a REAL feminist, representing many of us who don’t toe the line of some definition of what that is. The so-called “progressives,” men and women alike, don’t [...]

Reverend Wright Is Reverend Wrong! »

The New York Post learned today that Reverend Wright is actually Reverend Wrong. Apparently our “pious” Reverend Wright — who was the pastor and confidante of Barack Obama for 20+ years, baptized both of his daughters, married him and Michelle, and “blessed” their mansion — has been carrying on with a younger woman in Texas. [...]

Reply All: Rejecting Obama’s E-mail Smear Campaign (Template Included) »

I stole this brilliant image from Not Your Sweetie blog, illustrating a story on the smear campaign currently being waged against Palin by the Stupid Media, Obama’s surrogates, the so-called “progressives,” the Bots, and the regressive morons who compose the political party formerly known as Democrats.
They first launched baby-gate, a carnival of misogyny [...]

Where is Clinton? (Part 2) »

I wrote a serious post yesterday asking where Clinton was (See Where is Clinton). This was not to criticize her but to challenge that she is now faced with her 3 a.m. call and how she responds will mark her legacy and also determine her future role in the party and as an elected [...]

More Bursts of Insanity From Outer Blogovia »

I heart the Internets. I’ve often said it’s the greatest invention since the telephone…and the Internet, accepting its extreme coolness with dignity and class, gives the telephone the opportunity to put its feet up and take a rest by serving as a conduit between you and your mother (e-mail cuts down on valuable nagging [...]

“Progressives” for Ageism »

It goes without saying that most of the major bloggers — Markos, Josh Marshall, Digby, and many others — were so blinded in their desire to sink Hillary that they allowed (and even engaged in) unrelenting sexism and race-baiting.
Their behavior during the campaign was so far from being progressive that I’ve concluded that they’re [...]
