Yeah, right! Air America blames bankruptcy on everything but lack of listeners

There’s a lot of conservative talk radio I don’t like. Savage, Hannity and Rush do not get much of my listening time. Dennis Prager and Mark Levin get most of my ear.
That said, Rush Limbaugh’s worst day is better than Air America’s best, not just because I’m more likely to agree with the content, but [...]

Congressman with No Guts

Pretty wussy for a guy whose fund-raising website URL is “congressmanwithguts.com.” But about as wussy as you would expect from a guy who claims to have guts but shows a video of himself appearing on a friendly show like Countdown.

Don’t take that tone of voice with me, mister! The new rule for political debate and news coverage.

Ace posted about how Mika Brezinksy not only dutifully spun the White House line immediately upon receiving an email correction, but went above and beyond the call of duty by “absolving the White House from any bad behavior regarding Fox News at all.” Watch, then keep reading:

“A very calm and understated manner.”
Got that? That’s the [...]

Deny, deny, deny. Then deny some more.

Cover of A Guide for the Married Man

Theblogprof has some fun ridiculing the MSM for being taken in by the real fake protesters (or is it the fake real protesters?) at the healthcare townhalls. (Trust me, neither “real fake” nor “fake real” is an oxymoron in this case.)
While the MSM does, as the good professor [...]

When iconic images collide . . .

Well, in this case, the end result seems rather obvious.

Think they’ll stop complaining now that the white face is gone? Nah, me either.
UPDATE: I changed the original Joker image to include the “Socialism” caption. I’m still catching up  on my  reading about this, and didn’t realize the caption was part of the original artwork. Speaking [...]

Rule 5 Tuesday: a bombshell drops a bombshell

Stacy McCain’s Rule 5 standard, Christina Hendricks — who plays bombshell secretary Joan Holloway on Mad Men — makes the following disclosure in the August 2009 Redbook magazine:
We have to ask: Are you a natural redhead?
I’m a natural blonde. I’ve been dyeing it red for more than 20 years. I’ve always felt like [...]

Peggy Noonan is in love with her own words

Doctor Zero at HotAir’s Greenroom (later promoted to the front page) hits the nail on the head with this comment on Peggy Noonan’s piece about Sarah Palin in Friday’s WSJ:
Peggy Noonan used her Friday column in the Wall Street Journal to throw some dirt on Sarah Palin’s grave. It’s vintage Noonan: airheaded, dripping with condescension, [...]

Hilarious: big lefty Alec Baldwin complains of elitist media mindset

So, you’ve probably heard about Jack Cafferty questioning Alec Baldwin’s qualifications for public office. Cafferty wrote at his CNN blog:
Baldwin’s credentials are questionable… but Al Franken is no slouch. He’s Harvard educated and one of his first duties will be as a committee member for the confirmation hearing of Sonia Sotomayor next week.
Alec Baldwin is [...]

Cold Fury, indeed!

Mike at Cold Fury is plenty pissed at Palin’s slanderers. He recognizes we can’t take the bullshit attacks lying down, because that will only encourage more of them. Some people might call this a temper tantrum, but I think it is a call to arms that should be heeded:
Sue them, bankrupt them, ruin their lives, [...]

One army for which I have no respect

The OKA. A phrase well-coined (apparently) by Clyde at The Patriot Room.

Sanford may get lucky again

No, not that kind of lucky, as in “I hope you get lucky!” The kind of lucky that has one of the world’s most famous sex symbols and the world’s most famous accused pedophile and plastic surgery victim die the day after you announce your affair, thus bumping your admission out of the most-written about [...]

Sarah Palin’s Detractors Explained

I like Sarah Palin a lot. I’m not sure I’d support a presidential run, and I worry that she was too gravely wounded in the 2008 election to recover, especially in time for 2012. But I do love her not just for her values, but for her ability to bring out the worst (or the [...]

A respite from coverage of the freak

For anyone else sick of the coverage of the freak, there’s a nice slide show of Farrah Fawcett here. (Hat tip: American Power)
Let’s talk a little about my use of the word “freak.” I don’t say it with gusto, nor do I say it with venom. Well, not venom for Michael Jackson, anyway. I say [...]

Et tu, Fox News?

To my great disappointment, the coverage of Michael Jackson’s life and death has been as all-consuming on Fox News as it has been on the other news channels. One reporter referred to him as “Michael” this morning. That’s probably been rather common, but I haven’t kept the TV tuned there long enough to know.
I’m irked, [...]

You want relentless? Here’s your relentless.

Maybe I’ve been remiss in not following the whole Letterman-Palin flap. Maybe it didn’t interest me too much because — without knowing the details of what happened, admittedly — I was afraid conservative commentators were making too big a deal out of it.
Apparently, there are people who just are not going to let this thing [...]

Ever wonder why reporting on environmental issues seems so nonsensical?

If the caption accompanying the below photo in our newspaper is any indication, it is because journalists reporting on environmental issues are wearing a pemanent pair of beer goggles, finding beauty where there is none.  Here’s what the paper called “a meandering arroyo and a sustainable landscape of flowering, drought-tolerant native or Mediterranean plants”:

If that looks to [...]

Digging up biases is not the same as a personal attack; why the lefty coordination to investigate Obama critics’ backgrounds doesn’t piss me off

When I read this post a American Glob about lefty groups coordinating with each other to investigate Obama critics, I was prepared to be pissed off.  The post’s title said the groups were “digging for dirt” on Obama’s critics, and the quotes from the referenced Politico piece seemed to imply a rather nefarious scheme to expose [...]

Stop trying to mitigate what Rush said and embrace it instead

Patterico has a poll of sorts up, asking people to answer this question in the comments to his post (yes, with bullets AND numbers!):
However, when [Rush Limbaugh] says “I want Obama to fail,” what did he mean? His line could have meant one of two things:

1. Rush opposes President Obama’s [...]

Is Ed Morrissey really missing the obvious? UPDATE: Apparently, not!

Ed Morrissey apparently finds it dishonest for Democrats to lambaste Rush Limbaugh over his comment that a health care bill would be named after Ted Kennedy, since they themselves suggested it less than two months ago.   But what did Rush actually say?  Here it is, with my emphasis:

Before it’s all over, it’ll be called the [...]

A slip of the pen at MSNBC

I was caught by surprise by MSNBC’s blunt headline on its article concerning Nancy Pelosi’s audience with Pope Benedict: Pope to Pelosi: Catholics cannot back abortion.  But something in the first paragraph of the article really caught my eye.
Pope Benedict, underscoring the Vatican’s ruling on an issue that divides Americans, told U.S. House Speaker Nancy [...]
