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,” [...]

For What The Hell Is Obama WAITING?? »

Okay, not to harp on this subject or anything, but the Gulf Oil Spill continues to be horribly mismanaged by Obama. I don’t care how much he and the White House try to deflect attention away from Obama’s own shortcomings, whether by blaming BP CEO Heyward, or harping on Heyward taking an afternoon sail with [...]

Fall Classic – Game 1 – Phillies at Yankees **Open Thread** »

Tonight kicks off the World Series. The Phillies meet the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, with the game starting at 7:57 (why do they pick such weird times?). The game will be broadcast on Fox (sadly – that means having to listen to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck go on and on. No doubt, they’ll be [...]

In today’s age of technology, when government and companies are getting better at guarding the electronic gates, sometimes the easiest way to score a big heist is to come right through the front door in a mailbag. It seems someone stole $2 million from the WV State Auditor’s office using nothing more than letters sent [...]

News I Rarely Hear on TV * Open Thread »

Everyone has been e-mailing me about this video. Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) takes President Obama out to the woodshed, and accuses the president of being “AWOL on leadership,” a point I was making in my story last night, “Is Barack Obama on the Precipice of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“: WOW!
