quickie
just had to stifle a laugh at the latest ‘breaking news’ on Fox.
apparently a California Rep, Xavier Becerra, smiled when an ‘operative’ for a Republican Congressional candidate stood up in the middle of a Union Meeting and insisted that everyone stop what they were doing and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Fox’s breathless coverage includes [...]
the self-mad man
if bill o’reilly and ann coulter were to produce a child, and then that child were to gain access to rush limbaugh’s stash of oxycontin, the differently-abled result would be one glenn beck.
mr. beck has a new book out, entitled Arguing With Idiots.
there’s going to be a lot of disappointed retrocons out there when they [...]
word of the day
ok, for this to be a true ‘WOTD’ entry i would’ve had to have included at least one word sometime in the history of this almost-blog. maybe i’ll start with regular blog entries and work my way up to vocab.
but, be that as it may, i have a word for you, inspired by the reagan/bush/clinton/bush [...]
the Vice President is a [redacted]
cheney, MTP, one hour exclusive. he’s been practicing for weeks, even though most of his talking points are stale.
the re-hashed line he keeps using is that America MUST be safer now, because we haven’t been attacked in the last five years. (a line now being parroted by the pundits on the McLaughlin Group)
but who remembers [...]
liberalism revisited
you may (or may not) remember a posting from last year, where i compared the entries for ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’ from a 1965 edition of Roget’s Thesaurus.
well, now i’ve found an even better source document - it’s called ‘Masters of Deceit’, written by J. Edgar Hoover in 1957, during his tenure as Director of the FBI.
and it’s [...]
bush reveals ‘exit strategy’
they say that politics stops at the water’s edge, but as successive generations of bushes in Asia have proven, some other things don’t.
the ‘big deal’ here is not to say “ooh, look - the president tried to open a locked door! har-dee har har…” the ‘big deal’ is how he dealt with it, which seems [...]
wait, didn’t September 11th ‘change everything’?
he’s been here for a week, he’s met with everyone who’s anyone in Washington, and yet aside for a brief gig @ CFR on friday, ahmad ‘curveball(?)’ chalabi has hardly been seen or heard from.
he meets with Secretary of State rice, and the State Department says ‘no photos’ - he meets with Secretary of Defense [...]
the beauty of live television
i’ve never been happier to be watching FoxNews - Cheney’s giving a live press conference from Gulfport, Mississippi, talking about how great the federal response has been, and how happy the residents are with the ‘help’ they’ve received.
suddenly, over the muttering reporters and muttering VP, comes the cry, “Go F–k Yourself, Mr. Cheney!”no bleeping, no tape [...]
un-fraeking-believable
are you sick of all those liberals whining about the difference between ‘Free Trade’ and ‘Fair Trade’?
do you happily douse your Freedom Fries with W Ketchup?
well then, have i got a coffee for you: Contra Cafe(!)
(you remember the Contras, don’t you? they, and a shadowy cabal including FoxNews’ own Ollie North, are the reason we have crack cocaine.)
but, mmmmm… coffee!
