Senate Votes to Reverse FCC Decision Allowing Media Consolidation

Oh, they're waking up, all right. Waking up to the handwriting on the wall that says it's time to start kissing the bottoms of the Democrats in preparation for the November elections. No noble enlightenment on the part of the MSM here-- just a new roadmap to pursue for self-interest. Still, it doe feel good to be partially acknowledged by the networks. posted 05/17/2008 at 15:24:21

Hillary's Gift to Women

Burma Disappears the Cyclone

You have it exactly right. Every time I start to think abou the incredible lack of action by the Burmese military government, I stop dead in my tracks and remember that the pot has no right to
call the kettle black. We have the Bush Administration's initial failure to pay any attention to the Indonesian tsunami and we have its continuing failure to restore New Orleans and its people.
Wasn't Dennis Hastert's initial reaction to the NOLA disaster a recommendation to basically let the city rot? And it is. posted 05/10/2008 at 10:19:27

Study: "Daily Show" Very Similar To "O'Reilly Factor"

Of course he's 'fake'-- that's what satire is all about. If I wanted standup comedy and 'true sincerity',
I might just get George Carlin. Or Jeff Foxworthy, or............. posted 05/09/2008 at 08:23:01

What John McCain Told Me, and What it Says About How Far He's Fallen

The MSM and the Republicans will never bring this idea up, so here goes: is it not just
possible that McCain's change from moderate/maverick to George-Bush-neoconservative (as well as his not infrequent gaffes and flip-flops on the campaign trail) might be related to his age? Senility affects women more frequently than men; yet it seems almost certain that Ronald Reagan was enduring the early stages of Alzheimer's disease while still in office.
Just a thought, but perhaps something worth considering before November arrives. posted 05/06/2008 at 10:21:37

Clinton Camp Says It Will Use The Nuclear Option

You don't have to be poor, live in a trailer, or speak with a deep southern drawl in order to behave as if you were "white trash". posted 05/04/2008 at 16:49:00

Yes He Will. Because Yes, We Can.

Even the Democratic establishment, of which Clinton is a part, has realized that this woman does not
give a hoot for the Democratic Party or for Amereican citizens. Her goal is to glorify Hillary Clinton. posted 05/02/2008 at 10:53:28

Media Jump Ship From Obama To Clinton

For heaven's sake, the MSM for the most part, abandoned Obama some time ago, when Hillary
first began to whine about how unfairly the press was treating her. As it is with Hillary, it is with
the press: they blow as the wind blows. That is much easier to do than to make difficult character and policy critiques. posted 04/25/2008 at 09:29:13

Clinton Slams Democratic Activists At Private Fundraiser

You may be right. That's why I love it. Hillary has earned and deserves every "anti" she receives! posted 04/19/2008 at 11:38:57
Hillary and her campaign machine are off in another world. She keeps hammering nail after nail into her coffin and just doesn't seem to get it.
Americans don't need a whiner and a whining spouse in the White House. If the woman had any
people smarts at all, she would be trying to bring her party together, not to destroy it for her own
purposes. posted 04/19/2008 at 11:32:35

The "What He Said" Game

To answer the question: George and Charlie are "in on it". Didn't George just allow Mr. Hadley
to incorrectly refer to Tibet as Nepal this past Sunday without so much as a single attempt at correction? I see CNN listed in the post above. Didn't CNN revise Hadley's ABC Sunday interview and substitue (correctly) the word "Tibet" for "Nepal"? Now if that isn't collusion in perpetrating falsehoods on the U.S. public, I don't know what is. Yes, this country is over. posted 04/17/2008 at 12:14:51

Hugo Chavez's Very Excellent Windfall Oil Profit Tax

So far, Hugo does what he sees as best for the people of Venezuela. Would that the U.S. government had a similar perspective on protecting ITS citizens. posted 04/17/2008 at 11:45:57

'The Harvest of Shame'

I hear alot of the "bitterness" that Barack Obama spoke of in replies like this. I'm not attempting to insult or to psychoanalyze those who are so angry about efforts to improve the lot of the poorest
among us. If you are suffering yourself, it is hard not to feel that " no one is doing anything for ME,
why should I feel sorry for those OTHERS?"
I think that we ought to re-consider Senator Obama's remarks. What about asking ourselves why we are so angry about so much, and yet about so little?
Could it be that we feel that we're being shafted by the system and that it is quicker and easier to cry foul about illegal immigrants than to do something constructive? They are just doing jobs that we wouldn't do-- for compensation that we couldn't live on. It's scapegoating and it's wrong. We need to attack the real source of our anger: the middle-class-killing maneuvers of the avaricious oligarchy heading our government. posted 04/16/2008 at 10:50:52
"Florida is a crappy state". Ever since the 2000 election, it's been trying to become the sister state of Alabama and Mississippi, the main differences being the miles of coastline and therefore, the number of resort hotels.
There was a time when Florida could have been proud of not being a typical Deep South state. Not
anymore. The recent and current administrations of Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist have helped to accelerate the downward trend. Governor Crist proudly signed into law the change in the Presidential
primary date, confirming the wishes of his Republican-majority legislature. Even more recently, the
governor signed a new law allowing employees to carry guns in their vehicles to their workplace parking lot. The employers have no say in the issue.
To reiterate, "Florida is a crappy state". I know: I've lived here since 1972 and have seen the trend.
Cheers to you, Bernie Saunders! It's no accident that Vermonters have chosen you as their Senator. posted 04/16/2008 at 10:04:11

General Electric: Killing Chinese Workers For A Cleaner Environment

Exactly why I've divested myself of virtually all mutual funds that hold GE stock ( I still have a small holding in a 500 Index fund) , and I'll never knowingly buy anything manufactured by GE. That corporation earned my personal designation of "worst corporate citizen" when I became aware of its fight to continue to sludge up the Hudson River. Now it's working not on the Yangtze, but on the Chinese people. posted 04/01/2008 at 10:53:58

Peggy Noonan: At This Point You Either Understand The Problem With Hillary Or You Don't

There came a time in my life-- maybe in my thirty-somethings-- when I began to notice a pattern
in the stories I chose to share with others. I exaggerated. When I saw a 3-foot barracuda hanging around in the canal behind my Key West home, that barracuda grew to 5 feet when I passed the story along to friends. I did this often enough to start asking myself "why". Today I figure that I considered myself so boring that in order to get anything I said across to others, I had to "trifle with the truth". The plain, unadulterated story, by itself, just didn't cut it.
Maybe this is where Hillary is coming from-- it's at least a possibility. But I don't want my President creating fairy tales for mass consumption and ulterior motives. You see, I KNEW I was lying; I imagine that Hillary does too. And "I'm tired, I misspoke" doesn't cut it with me. posted 03/29/2008 at 13:15:09

Senator Leahy To Clinton: Drop Out

Now, Team Hillary Goes After Speaker Pelosi

I signed the petition too, but no way the DCCC is going to get a nickel out of me. Have you all
forgotten how Rahm Emanuel and his goonies gave money/support to less progressive, more corporation-friendly Dems in the 2006 primaries? Alot of really great candidates lost those primaries because of DCCC interference.
I'll start considering a donation when Mr. Emanuel exits the scene. posted 03/28/2008 at 19:10:31
