Kilroy Says: Don’t Forget Billy!
As it so often seems to be the case, multiple celebrities have passed away this past week. But what is really unfortunate is that everyone seems to be concentrating on a moonwalking, face-lifted weirdo from Indiana, rather than a real American hero. I’m talking about Billy Mays. I know that Billy couldn’t sing. He never [...]
UPDATE: WMD’s in Iraq Story
Earlier this week, I posted some commentary entitled, WMD’s found in Iraq. Last night, I stumbled onto the Discovery blog (www.discovery.org). Bruce Chapman posted an excellent commentary over there entitled, The Truth About Iraq WMD Uncovered, Then Covered Up Again. Chapman highlights in detail the WMD revelation, and subsequent burial, courtesy of the mainstream media. [...]
THE TRUTH ABOUT HDTV
TV holds a very dear place in my heart. Growing up, I saw more of my TV than my parents. When I was stationed overseas, none of my family wrote me letters, but TV was there for me. When I get home from work, and I’ve had a bad day, I can always plop down [...]
Political Strategy Lessons for Conservatives
Having listened to various conservative-minded commentators, various opinions are coming out on how Obama’s instincts in the choices he makes should be perceived. Listening to Rush Limbaugh, it’s obvious that he doesn’t trust Obama’s instincts. Limbaugh would argue that he’s studied the man, he knows leftists, and he believes that Obama is a leftist through [...]
Dems feign concern over Obama’s $800 billion handout
I saw the headline early this morning, Democrats among stimulus plan skeptics. Immediately, I thought, “Whatever…who do they think they’re fooling? The Great One’s stimulus plan is so in the bag.” I’ve been noticing a pattern lately when it comes to our sycophantic, morally bankrupt legislators. First, you’ll see a headline which underscores their obsequious [...]
Thoughts on the general election and what to expect in the next four years
The media has succeeded in pulling the wool over people’s eyes yet again. How else could you explain what happened last Tuesday? Congress has had an incredibly low approval rating, far lower than George W. Bush’s. And yet, the reaction in Tuesday’s elections was not against the ruling democrats, but against republicans. You would have [...]
Voters declare they’d rather be stylish than safe
From MSNBC: On the issues and candidate qualities In the survey, Obama also holds commanding leads on the issues — especially economic ones. He has a 39-point advantage over McCain in handling health care (59 to 20 percent), a 21-point edge on improving the economy (49 to 28), a 21-point lead on the mortgage and [...]
NBC’s “Average Joe” exposed in swine production ring
Earlier today, I stumbled onto a reality show called, “Average Joe.” The basic premise revolves around a beauty queen who is trying to find her soul-mate, or “someone to help her perpetuate Planned Parenthood” (it’s hard to tell). I knew that these dating shows were shallow and immoral, but I was inclined to root for [...]
The Media Loves Palin
Does mainstream media suck…or what? I think we all know the answer to that one. Only a neo-liberal or a fool would say, “or what.” In the last couple of days I’ve had the “privilege” of reading a couple of really poor examples of journalism from the AP I’d like to share with you. The [...]
Russert’s Passing – Will It mean Dropping Any Pretense Of Objectivity?
Was Tim Russert the last of his breed? I continue to be shocked by Tim Russert’s ongoing death, and I didn’t even like him either personally or as a journalist. As the latter, he was merely an intermittently objective liberal. As the former, I was dismayed that he didn’t speak out when Don Imus was [...]
