Err-America

Air America, the liberal radio network, went down in flames, Jan. 21, when it filed for bankruptcy. It wasn’t because of air-to-air combat with conservative talk shows and bloggers. It wasn’t because of the Recession, although reduced advertising revenue, a reality of all media, also affected Air America. It wasn’t even demographics, even though older, [...]

You Betcha Sarah Palin Has a Higher Calling

Sarah Palin said she had a “higher calling” that required her to resign 17 months before her term ended as governor of Alaska, and not to seek a second term.
I have no idea where this “higher calling” came from, but I suspect it could only have come from two sources. The first one is God. [...]

Tea Parties and More

It’s tax day today and there’s a slew of anti-tax “tea parties” being held across the country, which have been “have been co-opted by a major America political party (the RNC’s Web site allows for creating send-a-tea-bag post cards to Dem leaders) and an entire cable news channel (which has been promoting the events).”

What has particularly been driving me crazy these past few days is hearing [...]

Liberal Bias In The Media?

I really had to post a few quips from this piece below, because I was listening to a little right wing talk radio over the holiday and heard a caller complaining about how the reported news is all bad these days: “The drive by media is so liberal that they just won’t ever report any of the [...]

Kerry spokesman David Wade issued the following slap down today in response to Rush Limbaugh, who said on his radio show that Kerry’s Swift Boat attackers in 2004, “were right on the money and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort.”

Late Night: SoCal Fires Update

It’s hard to sleep tonight knowing that so many areas around Southern California are burning out of control. What sticks in my mind, as I check the news for updates on the fires, is the report from Media Matters that Glenn Beck stated on his syndicated radio show on Monday, “I think there is a [...]
