While channel surfing this week I unfortunately caught a few minutes of the hateful and uninformed Glenn Beck on CNN Headline News. Why does this specimen have an hour each night to spew his toxic ideological waste? It was like watching one of those TV shows where animals attack people....

Attractive blondes have always drawn attention, but in recent years we have given way too much attention to the antics of blonde women for non-news activities. In an attempt to fill space, the 24 hour quasi-news stations have put a variety of fair haired females on the front page. The...

As usual, Ann Coulter's newest round of violence-tinged pundit appearances included going on CNN to call millions of Americans "traitors" (treason is a crime punishable by the death penalty) and suggest that Sen. Barack Obama is a covert terrorist assassin.
What did Ann Coulter do this week to...

Although Ann Coulter originally achieved fame as a right-wing pundit by talking about President Clinton's penis on national TV, since 9/11 she has turned most of her attention to framing Democrats as terrorists.
During one TV spot in 2003, Coulter said, "Liberals...want there to be lots of 9/11s" (see...

The longer this race goes on, the closer I get to believing that, should he become the nominee, Republicans will beat Barack Obama like a death metal band's bass drum.
They will have a lot of help--the media for starters--but as a black man, and one who has, despite a...

In today's media Tower of Babel, the only way to prosper is to get noticed, to be heard above the din. Somehow. It's the very best way to get to the front of TV's Clamoring Class. From there it's direct link to those coveted obscenely lucrative speaking engagements.

As Pennsylvania readies for its Democratic Primary closeup and the Republican Primaries are locked up, the right wing is gleefully dipping into progressive politics.
Right this minute, Ann Coulter is lobbying for Hillary Clinton on MSNBC, saying that as opposed to John McCain, the Democratic candidate doesn't make a big...

After endorsing John McCain, Texas pastor John Hagee has come under a bit of criticism for some of his comments about Catholics (and for generally being a dangerous war-whooping nutjob). But among some fundamentalist Christians, the real problem with Hagee is comments he may have...

Bill Buckley died Wednesday at 82 at his home in Connecticut. He was the most influential public intellectual of his generation in this country, maybe the world.
More than anyone, even Goldwater or Reagan, he was the father of modern conservatism, which was as much an intellectual as a...

He has distinguished himself as the reactionary intelligentsia's Ann Coulter, and he tipped the Right's hand in its preference for Hillary Clinton this November. Judge for yourself as Brooks tries...
