Up is Down. Right is Left. Mario is Wario.
The President visited Hampton University over the weekend to give the commencement address and boy did he deliver a weird one. There is a lot in it I want to unpack and examine more closely, but I’ll pick some low-hanging fruit tonight. At one point, the President cautioned the graduates about a clear and present [...]
I Sing the Birds Cinematic
There is a right way and a wrong way to look at birds. This is the wrong way. Apparently, this Godawful waste of celluloid has become a minor cult hit, for reasons I can not fathom. I know from good cult movies and this one doesn’t come close to qualifying. It has no redeeming feature, [...]
The Delivery Presents: New Media, Mad Men, and the Death of the Middlebrow
If I ever have to run a “best of” show, Episode 37 will be at the very top of the list. I think it’s the best show in the short history of The Delivery. I had Stephen Green and Ed Driscoll in for the whole hour and, while I’d love to say I had a [...]
The Resolute Desk is Not for Sitting, Mr. President. Now Grow the Heck Up!
*headslap* Excuse me, Mr. President? I’m going to say this as politely as I possibly can. Would you please GET YOUR ASS OFF THE RESOLUTE DESK? For the Love of Pete, man, didn’t anyone raise you better than that? Surely your Grandmother — you remember, the racist one you threw under the bus — taught [...]
Let’s Make Nashville a Big Deal, Even If the President and MSM Won’t
You may know that central Tennessee, and the city of Nashville in particular, has been devastated by what residents are calling a 500 year flood. The flood has killed over two dozen people, left thousands homeless, and caused over a billion dollars worth of property damage. It is, to use Joltin’ Joe Biden’s words, a big [...]
The Delivery Presents – Doing the MSM’s Work, on a Live Webcam!
Here is Episode 36, a brisk dose of immigration reality in which I do something novel and actually read the controversial Arizona immigration law. I brought Kim Haney back on the show because, well, she’s a heck of a lot of fun and I feel very comfortable letting the conversation roam. She’s smart and conversant [...]
On Car Bombs and Journalistic Boobs
I see this morning that authorities have arrested the guy who tried to blow up a car bomb in Times Square over the weekend.Contrary to the suspicions of Chief Inspector Bloomberg, the suspect was not Glenn Beck. He is, as it happens, a naturalized American citizen by way of Pakistan (“Pock-ee-stahn” in Obama dialect) named [...]
Mayor Bloomberg, Casual Idiot
Hey, thanks Mayor Bloomberg. Thanks a big old stinking pantload. Bloomberg later told CBS Evening News Anchor Katie Couric that the suspect behind the bombing attempt could be a domestic terrorist angry at the government who acted alone. “If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that. Homegrown, or maybe a mentally [...]
