I haven’t had much interest in writing lately but every now and then the urge hits me – this is one of those times. I recently came a across an advice column written by Amy Dickinson that I simply can’t not comment on. What caught my eye was this letter and reply on firearms: Dear […]

CNN Cancels Piers Morgan’s Shambolic Show
By now most of you have probably heard the news, CNN is pulling the plug on “Piers Morgan Live”. I’d love to be the better man and say it was fun while it lasted and wish Mr. Morgan luck in the future. But I can’t, it wasn’t fun, it wasn’t entertaining, and it wasn’t terribly […]
At Least the Commercials Didn’t Suck
About the nicest thing I can say about Super Bowl XLVIII is at least the commercials didn’t suck. The game was awful, an Al Gore speech marathon would have been more entertaining. It was the most lopsided drubbing I think I ever seen. It was ugly. It was embarrassing — the 43-8 score doesn’t begin […]
Gun Dealer’s License Revocation Unrelated to Newtown Shootings
I’m sure you’ve seen news reports over the last few days saying the license of the gun shop were Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza’s mother Nancy bought two of the guns found at Sandy Hook Elementary School after the massacre. While it’s true that store’s Federal Firearms License (FFL) has been revoked most of the […]
Pat Caddell: The Media is Threatening Future of This Country
Gallup recently released a poll showing just 8% of Americans have a great deal of trust in the media, you don’t have to look any farther than the recent terrorist attacks against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya to understand why. A few reporters like Eli Lake at Newsweek have doggedly pursued the story and […]
Hustler Sinks to New Low; Photoshops Phallus in S.E. Cupp’s Mouth
I’ve been enjoying a bit of a blogging sabbatical for past few — several weeks. I really haven’t felt much like writing recently, but when I read about Hustler’s vile, misogynistic attack on conservative commentator S.E. Cupp I decided to take a sabbatical from my sabbatical and express my opinion on the matter. I would love […]
Mythbusters Experiment Goes Awry; Sends Cannonball Through Home
Let me preface is this by saying I’m a big fan of Mythbusters, but like many of you I’ve been expecting something like this would happen for quite some time… Accidents happen, but what happened Tuesday, while Mythbusters co-hosts Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara were working on either proving or debunking myths related to […]
Rick Perry’s First Campaign Ad: “Time to Get America Working Again”
I like it. H/T: Weasel Zippers.
Video: Newt Gingrich BLASTS Chris Wallace for his “Gotcha” Questions at Iowa Debate
This is just pure golden goodness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxQTp07KS_k&feature=player_embedded Ouch, I love it! It’s about time Republican candidates started calling the sound bite media on the carpet for wasting everyone’s with time trivial, tabloid gotcha questions instead of asking substantial policy questions. Newt was absolutely right to go after Chris Wallace the way he did tonight… and judging […]
About Mark Halperin’s Comments…
Ok, so the the interwebs and talk radio are buzzing about MSNBC senior political analyst Mark Halperin’s surprisingly blunt assessment of President Barack Obama’s performance at yesterday’s press conference… From the video it’s pretty clear Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski thought Mr. Halperin was joking when he asked if the seven-second delay […]
NBC Apologizes for Omitting ‘a Portion’ of the Pledge of Allegiance
NBC Sports began their coverage of the final round of the U. S. Open Championship with a video feature that was supposed to “captured the patriotism of our national championship”. What they did was stir up a controversy by omitting a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance. Which portion? The words specifically omitted were ‘under […]

A newly released video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas indicates National Public Radio executives intended to accept a $5 million donation from a fictitious Muslim Brotherhood front group, the Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust. NPR maintains they “refused” the check multiple times, but the video released today clearly shows NPR’s Senior Director of Institutional […]
Senior Exec: NPR Would Be “Far Better Off” Without Federal Funds
I can’t say I’m shocked or even surprised by the latest uncover video from James O’Keefe… There’s really nothing surprising or shocking about a senior NPR executive being caught on tape bashing conservatives as “white, gun-toting … xenophobic … seriously racist people.” It’s what they believe, they’ve made it clear they think we’re a bunch […]
Keith Olbermann Suspended… Indefinitely… Without Pay
MSNBC has indefinitely suspended host Keith Olbermann for making political contributions to three Democratic candidates this fall, including one on the same day he appeared on Mr. Olbermann’s Countdown program. Mr. Olberman reportedly donated $2,400 apiece to the campaigns of Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway and Arizona Reps. Raul Grivalva and Gabrielle Giffords in violation […]
NPR Fires Juan Williams; Shoots Self in Foot
NPR’s decision to fire Juan Williams for remarks he made during an appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday night has generated a considerable amount of media attention over the last of couple days. Mr. Williams’s crime was apparently speaking honestly about a visceral reaction many Americans have in our post 911 world: The move came […]
