Just something that ought to be read. As one who can only take small, infrequent real-time doses of the hate, just to maintain a degree of immunity, I didn't catch any of this 'live'.
What an elegant and devastating take-down of a piece by Time's Managing Editor. Long, but I couldn't stop reading. Just amazing. I highly recommend it, especially to all my 'progressive' friends.
The 1-2-3 formula for the legacy media is quite obvious: 1) Make fun of Republicans. 2) Do a fluff piece making Obama look good. 3) Repeat 1) & 2) ad nauseum. Case in point - NBC Nightly News June 21, 2011. Shortly after a blurb making fun of Rick Perry for saying "Follow me on Tweeter" (Texas accent aside), a cute little video of a crying infant quieting as soon as it's placed in Obama's arms. Aaaaw. And they think they're clever. What ...
Yep, he's a dumb one, alright. Short interview. You'll know what I'm referring to.
I just happen to be watching Geraldo in the run-up to BO's surprise 'announcement' - the hyperventilating about what it might be about is just sickening. Worse than Al Capone's Vault. God save us.
The signs showed up a couple of weeks ago along the main arterial street nearest my house (1/8 of a mile away). We should shortly expect 'Road Work' brought to us by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The 'reinvestment': Replacing perfectly good and undamaged 'ridged' handicapped corner access sidewalk ramps with new rust-colored ramps with nipples instead of ridges. At least 10 guys and a cop were employed for 2 days at the intersection ne...
Because we just had to know, I guess. Or maybe it was a matter of national security. Can't get to the info on who/what funded this, yet, but if it wasn't the Feds you could knock me over with a feather.

With the confusion virus, that is. In discussing the Gates Foundation's operations, there was this little jewel: Pablo Eisenberg of Georgetown University's Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership said the foundation has a moral obligation to share its decision-making process more broadly as it distributes what is partly taxpayer dollars they saved on taxes by giving the money away. Technically, it's Pablo Eisenberg who is infected, but the WSJ let this go unchallenged: that mo...
And our local rag/fishwrap gives it the Page A1 above-the-fold lead headline - damn near 'Dewey Defeats Truman'. They don't even bother to disguise the game plan - the webpage name reads '...health- rollout ...'. So we can look forward to more sales snow jobs to come. Can't wait.
The meat, emphasis mine: One of the GOP's handful of black candidates for Congress condemned President Barack Obama of exploiting race for political gain. Allen West, the Republican challenging Rep. Ron Klein (D) in Florida's 22nd congressional district, sharply criticized the Obama administration for having allegedly declined prosecuting the New Black Panther Party on voter tampering charges for political reasons. "For an Administration that promised a new era in race relatio...
I'm 61, a Republican since Nixon lost to Kennedy. I've never been more ashamed to be a Republican than when Boehner and other Republican leaders threw Joe Barton under the bus for speaking his honest opinion, not to mention the truth, about the 'shakedown' of BP. Not even during the height of Watergate. I can't believe what cowards our party's so-called 'leaders' are. The Constitutional issues here are real and deserve to have a very bright light shined on them. Bo...
A telling quote from today's NYT article on the woes of being David Axelrod these days, about the administration's 'perception problem': Chris Lehane, a former top aide to Vice President Al Gore , says the administration should tell a clearer story. “They have been enormously capable in dealing with the day-to-day challenges of the government,” Mr. Lehane said. “But they don’t seem to get the credit they deserve for that because they’ve communicated no over...

Who can possibly dispute his utter contempt for the Constitution now? What chutzpa and disrespect, with the members of SCOTUS sitting right in front of him. I knew he had an ego, but this went so far beyond the pale I'm having trouble believing what my eyes saw and my ears heard. And for the Dems to give him a standing O for it was breathtaking. Absolutely disgusting. Maybe not the last nail in the coffin, but close.
