If They Hired a Republican, He’d Die of Loneliness »

If you want to see the very definition of media bias, look no further than this post by Newsbuster’s Matthew Sheffield:

Below is a list of Democratic CNN anchors and correspondents who are covering the Democratic National Convention (there are no registered Republicans):

McCain’s Veep Pick is Stealing Obama’s Thunder, and The One is Not Pleased »

As if we political junkies are bouncing around like kindergartners with a case of Pixie Sticks enough as it is, John McCain has decided that he’s going to announce his VP pick tomorrow.
Or maybe tonight, if the rumors of a leak are true.
It almost goes without saying that conjecture abounds (if it went entirely [...]

Sic Transit Gloria Obama? »

It was said in the movie Patton that Caesar, in order to remember humility, had a man stand behind him to constantly whisper to him “Sic transit gloria mundi”, which was translated “All glory is fleeting”. The Pope, when he is coronated, is reminded three times during the ceremony of the same phrase, which is [...]

Is Hillary Clinton Subtly Torpedoing Barack’s Party? »

The only problem with that is eventually those considerable egos were going to start to [...]

It Looked Like a Hillary Convention Last Night »

I actually stayed up last night and watched Hillary Clinton’s DNC speech. I didn’t blog it because I wanted to pay attention to what I was seeing as well as what I was hearing. There was a lot there to see, too.
The first thing I noticed was that, on television, the Hillary Clinton signs way [...]

Waiting for the Kitchen Tray to Drop in Denver »

About ten years ago, I saw a movie called The Immortals. Though the movie, packed to the gills with B-list talent, wasn’t very good, there was once scene that was brilliant. The movie follows a group of criminals who have been hired to rob a crime boss (played by Curtis). At one point, the five [...]
