A Good Year for the Outlaw

Glenn Beck calls the President of the United States of America a racist. “Stands by it” the next day on his radio show. Says he “doesn’t like white people”.
Um, Glenny boy, are you saying the President doesn’t like his mom?
And the right thought the left was nasty to Dubya.
Loony tunes, I tell ya, [...]

I know it’s old news by now, but it’s still fun to watch Larry King ask Jesse Ventura about Dick Cheney and hear Cheney called exactly what he is: a coward.
Jesse was also 100% dead nuts correct when he called Norm Coleman a hypocrite (Coleman called for Al Franken to concede and not do [...]

While checking the Weather Channel one last time this morning before hitting the road, the computer generated voice told me we would have “abundant sunshine” today.
Huh? What happened to “sunny” or “mostly sunny”? Abundant? That sounded to me like the sun was going to be extra generous and send out more rays of itself [...]

Joe Scarborough had this to say about Jon Stewart this week:
“A politician stumbles over himself,” MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough said on his own program. “Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response. And you [...]

As I’m watching the “new” WHOI 10 pm news last night, flipping back and forth with WEEK, I’m thinking to myself, “Lee Ranson has got it made! He can’t go wrong!”
Think about it…Lee gives two opposite forecasts, one on each station, and one of them HAS to be right! Then, at year’s end, he claims [...]

TWO NEW UPDATES BELOW
Individual meetings are happening right now with WEEK management and WHOI newsroom employees, with each employee finding out their immediate future. WEEK as entered into a direct-share agreement with WHOI to produce the ABC affiliate’s news.
My source tells me the WHOI newsroom is indeed closed. There are no newscasts being prepared [...]

In the months since Mr. Obama became President Obama, I have been pooh-poohing a certain Peoria-area blogger’s (whose site I no longer visit, Billy) constant whining and fear mongering about what he thought was a return of the Fairness Doctrine, all because one or two politicians made off-the-cuff remarks wondering if it needed to be [...]

I fired up my computer Sunday morning to see on CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, Comcast, the Minneapolis StarTribune, and virtually every other website I visited yesterday that Colin Powell had earlier in the day endorsed Barack Obama for President. Obviously, a big, big story. One of the key figures in the Bush administration endorsing “the [...]

While watching “Morning Joe” this morning, host Joe Scarborough started screaming and whining about how “George W. Bush is the most viciously attacked President in history. No president has taken the kind of abuse from his own countrymen as George W. Bush.”
Amazing. Apparently, Mr. Scarborough wasn’t in the country, or is suffering from amnesia, for [...]

For Billy Dennis. This is the definition of commentary, and the fact that it’s right on only accentuates how well it’s done.
Bravo, sir. Well said. Well said.

Now that John McCain has secured enough delegates to lock Mike “I Didn’t Major In Math” Huckabee out of the GOP presidential race, Ann…or should I say Stan…Coulter is supposed to be campaigning for Hillary Clinton.

Hilarious headlines abound on Fixed/Faux News.com this morning. Among my favorites:

“Women, Gay Men Are Worst Drivers”
“Image of Jesus Appears In Potato”
“Lesbian Lock Up”
“Taser Parties Are The New Craze”

and, of course, under the banner “Breaking News“: “Britney Spears Released From Hospital”
When your political agenda sucks, I guess these are the headlines that best distract the public [...]

Scenario: I’m sitting at the computer, TV over my left shoulder is tuned into ESPN, Chris Berman and the boys are talking football. Diane is over by the vanity, preparing for the day.
I’m not paying attention, but apparently the announcers said something about Green Bay and a certain offensive position, bringing this retort from Diane:
“I [...]

Whipping through the dial this morning (Sunday), looking for something to watch for awhile before heading outside, and I see this on TBS: “Fresh Prince Marathon”.
Are you serious? A marathon of “Fresh Prince” episodes?
That’s like Speed running “Best of Ford: The Pinto Years”.
That’s like MTV running a Milli Vanilli marathon.
It’s like C-Span showing “George W. [...]

He cannot be serious. Can he?

I just watched a reporter on the ABC affiliate in the Quad Cities use the following words in her story about a cropduster accident in Prophetstown:
“…he was shooken up…”  That’s right, she said “shooken”. Amazing.
Then, not two sentences later, it was this:
“…nodoubtably…” Not “undoubtedly”, but “nodoubtably”. Wow.
This was the same station that used the words [...]

On the same edition of Hannity and Colmes that I saw the report about Broward County, they had something called a “Dan Senor” on to discuss Iran.
 ”Dan Senor”, another idiotic chickenhawk who wants to drop everything and bomb Iran right now, and who never himself served, went on and on and on about all the [...]

I’m in an online simulated baseball league with 27 other guys from all across North America (yes, we have a Canuck or two) and the neat thing about our little “community” is how we talk about everything, not just baseball. Baseball has become secondary quite often to talk of families, kids, politics, culture, media, etc.
So [...]

Watching Jon Stewart and John McCain go at it last night was awesome. And they shook hands at the end. Tell me again why “The Daily Show” is not a better way to get news than CNN, MSNBC, or Faux?
McCain fought gamely, and admitted how poorly the Bushies have run the “war” (did anyone ever [...]

In the last two days, I have witnessed countless times where the host, whether it be Faux, CNN, MSNBC, or the so-called “major” networks, have tried to create the story, tried to blame “the school”, or “campus police”, for the entire incident at Virginia Tech.
In nearly every response, the student, parent, or official says the same [...]

It’s 3:30 pm Central time, and Faux News is already playing the blame game on the Virginia Tech incident. Some loudmouth woman is telling the pathetically bad Neil Cavuto that the University is solely to blame for this incident spiraling today.
“Officials should have locked down campus at 7:30.”
“These students shouldn’t have been allowed to go [...]
