There is so much going on in the news today. A few stories are mentioned below, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to add some of your own. First there is the massive upset in New York City when a Republican, Bob Turner, took Anthony Weiner’s seat, the first time [...]

Ever since Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) unveiled his Budget Plan, Republicans have been attacked for hating seniors, wanting to gut Medicare, and wanting old people to die. Or so you would think. Heck, I think you could say the Republicans were being just plain hateful toward seniors, especially considering the comments by DNC Chair, Rep. [...]

That would be the Obama Administration response to the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Oh, wait – I’m sorry, I meant to say the “bump in the road” we are enduring. Pay no attention to the rising unemployment numbers, the falling number of jobs created, or the continuing decline of housing market. I [...]

I never thought I would see the day that ex-Governor Sarah Palin, WSJ’s Peggy Noonan, and WaPo’s Eugene Robinson* would agree on anything. Hell must have frozen over. Their unlikely agreement came as all three insisted it would have been better for the White House to release the post-mortem photos of Osama bin Laden, rather [...]

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

PDS – Palin Derangement Syndrome. I know, I know, what else is new? That seems to be the case every single day recently. Yes, seems nary a day can go by without someone making some obnoxious comment about Governor Palin (oh, that reminds me – do you realize there are people in this country who [...]

In the current bout of progressive hand-wringing over President Obama’s latest “compromise” on the Bush tax cuts, everyone from Keith Olbermann to Frank Rich to Paul Krugman to Bill Maher to Eleanor Clift is directing their erstwhile wunderkind to return to his principles, get his mojo back, stop being wimpy and declare his refusal to [...]

In a heated debate with an acquaintance the other day, I beat my usual drum about the destructive influence of a biased media that led the country to select Barack Obama. The man argued that no matter the actions of the media or the backstabbing DNC elite, Hillary and Obama would have governed the same [...]

As we all know by now, President Obama felt compelled to weigh in on the building of a mosque near Ground Zero. And a number of people are responding to Obama’s Friday Night Ramadan Dinner chat. I might say, no one has written more brilliantly than Larry Johnson at No Quarter. If you haven’t read [...]

An article by David Brooks, “Teachers Are Fair Game,” caught my eye recently. I will tell you right off the bat that I am not a fan of David Brooks, but the headline of this particular article caught my eye for a couple of reasons: 1., I had seen an article in my paper today [...]

One would certainly think so if this article is any indication, “Why Reporters Are Down On President Obama“. Color me a bit surprised to learn that reporters were down on Obama. I could be jaded after the overwhelmingly positive articles of him during the election, especially compared to favorable articles on Hillary Clinton, but I [...]

Every now and then there are moments in the American media that defy description. Nevertheless they must be addressed. Case in point: Washington Post “media critic” Howard Kurtz’s article today about FOX News Channel’s “reporters’” growing discomfort with the shenanigans of FNC darling Glenn Beck, he of the mighty chalkboard of insanity, his ludicrous fits [...]

^ ^ ^ Bumped up ^ ^ ^ This is perfect Sunday fare, and rich coming from someone who routinely appeared with Keith Olbermann on Countdown (until they broke up back in August last year).

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 “dangerous” [...]

Wow, that Charles Krauthammer really knows how to turn a phrase. As does French President, Nicholas Sarkozy. Oh, yeah. Check out this article, Obama’s French Lesson: “President Obama, I support the Americans’ outstretched hand. But what did the international community gain from these offers of dialogue? Nothing.” – French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Sept. 24 When [...]
