Reasons why the MSM can kiss my ass

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

I know the MSM is all about either selling papers or grabbing viewers, but they are getting so far over the line lately that it is truly starting to sicken me.  Let me explain.
I get to work this morning and the first headline I see is:
President-elect promised change, picking insiders
So let me get this straight.  [...]

Douchebag alert!

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Mark Halperin had been contentious and questionable during the entire Presidential election, like the week that John McCain could do nothing without it being gaffe-filled and Obama had a stellar week, but by Halperin’s take, McCain “won the week”.
Still, it’s good to read various reporters, no matter what slant they try to put on the [...]

Karl Rove does…Dunkin Donuts commercials?

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Okay - I almost spit when I heard the latest Dunkin Donuts commercials.  But first, a little background.  Who do you think owns Dunkin?  Did you heard that they got bought out a few years back?  I did, and the name just blew me away.  It was a three partner buyout that included the Carlyle [...]

Best quote of the week

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

I love this, in the shadow of the $700,000,000,000 bailout (yes, seven hundred billion):
We’ve just been raped, and now we’re being asked to pay for the rape kit.
Shamelessly stolen from The Stephanie Miller Show (Jim Ward), who stole it from DemocraticUnderground.com

Two things about the Palin’s latest child

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Reading a story about Trig Paxon Van Palen, there were two things that really stood out at me.  They were:
“I said I am going to stay for the day. I have a speech I was determined to give,” Palin said. She gave the luncheon keynote address for the energy conference. (emphasis mine).
Okay - so you [...]

WOW

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Okay - I am a political geek, and have loved watching Democratic conventions since I was a youngster.  This one just blew my mind.
As the custom, the roll call took place, and when the votes got close enough, the home state was yielded to.  Illinois took the floor, and looked like they were about to [...]

I know I’m not the only one…

…who shed a tear when Senator Kennedy took the podium at the DNC tonight.  This man is a national treasure, and I cannot imagine the Senate without him.
Much love, Teddy.

Complacent? Think about this…

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

I have to admit, seven years after the events of September 11th, 2001, you get a little complacent.  We had the horror of that day, and then the wars in Afghanistan and then Bush’s war of choice in Iraq.  We have had to deal with war for the last seven years, but without personal sacrifice [...]

McCain’s Saddleback performance justifies the impeachment of George W. Bush

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

I’m listening to clips of John McCain from my Randi Rhodes podcast and was taken aback.  In his performance at Saddleback, John McCain said, in response to a question about Osama bin Laden:
No one, no one should be allowed to take thousands of American, innocent American lives
Really now, Senator McCain?  Then if that is the [...]

John McCain and his temper

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

WOW…  As I was listening to Randi Rhode’s podcast from last Friday, the topic of John McCain’s temper came up.  So, I went out to YouTube.com and put in “John McCain temper” and clicked on the first one that came up.  WOW.  THIS is who the Republicans want to run against Obama?
Check him out by [...]
