It’s Not That They’re Flacks for the Administration…
I may have to start a category under “Media Bias” just for the various media companies owned by General Electric, which, by some happy coincidence, managed to pay no US taxes this past year despite receiving a $140 billion gift from the administration. That may be coincidence, but two incidents this week from GE-paid reporters [...]
Is Rick Sanchez Really A Clever Form of Corporate Sabotage?
I’m convinced that CNN is being actively sabotaged by a mole on its Board of Directors. How else can I explain why Rick Sanchez still has his own show even though thin-skinned, partisan, condescending ignorance is driving away viewers so fast that if you listen patiently toward Atlanta, you can hear their little sonic booms? If CNN was [...]
The Delivery Presents: Our Wacky Congress, Sage Vampire Warnings, and Maximum Molly!
Episode 34 is ready to roll, even though I’m a day late getting the notice up here and at DeliveryShow.com. I had a busy day away from the computer yesterday that involved doctor’s appointments (everythign’s fine), two small children (not mine), and absolutely gorgeous weather in which I reveled like a bear waking up from [...]
Dearie Dear! We Have Been Cleverly Discredited!
A few looney lefties made some news lately by announcing their weasel-clever plan to discredit the Tea Party movement. Here’s how it was supposed to work. They will recruit local ne’er-do-wells to stealthily infiltrate various Tea party protests and pose as sympathetic racist, sexist, government-hating, ultra-violent wackos. When the media show up to cover the [...]
No No, Lindsey. Don’t Help. We’re Fine Here. Please.
I really do want to like Lindsey Graham. He reminds me of a kid who used to play on my soccer team when I was young. He was earnest and tried really hard, which made you feel like you had kicked a puppy if you got mad at him. Actually, I should say “when” because [...]
Barack’s New Cabinet Department
Once upon a time, Dave Barry proposed the Department of Two Guys Named Victor, who could take care of, err, difficult foreign leaders who vexed our nation. It seems like the administration has taken him up on that idea only the guys aren’t named Victor, they don’t go after foreign enemies, and they don’t work [...]
He’s Like Lenny Bruce, Only Not Edgy or Funny or Brave
When we last saw Congressman Anthony Weiner (D – Toolville), he was comparing himself to Mussolini and professing a cosmic level of ignorance about the Obamacare bill for which he voted. He has surfaced again, possibly because he believes that we should not go two weeks without his reminding us what an insufferable prat he [...]
I…I Have No Words Anymore to Explain the Idiocy
Well done, Congressional Democrats. Well done indeed. It is often said that the new health care law will affect almost every American in some way. And, perhaps fittingly if unintentionally, no one may be more affected than members of Congress themselves. In a new report, the Congressional Research Service says the law may have significant [...]
