In what can only be described as the most hypocritical news conference of the year, Dan Rather lectured a bunch of reporters that the problem with Journalism today was that reporters were not asking the tough questions with follow-up. After his lecture, one reporter decided to do just that. He asked Rather about the forged memos. He reports that Rather did answer civilly, but then when the reporter tried to ask a follow up question, he was cut off and others booed him. W...

I remember when politics did not define your friends. It was not that long ago. I was dating a very sexy and wonderful dyed in the wool liberal! She was fun! But that seems to have changed with the polarization that has been forced upon us by those who refuse to acknowledge the constitution of the United States, and its election laws defined therein. Now, we must cling to our political leaning buddies like the Ants in Ice-9 (and that is distasteful to write if you have re...
In what should be a lesson to all politicians (but sadly is not), a Georgia State Senator snuck in a rider on a bill that honored Jane Fonda. And the senate, without reading what they were passing, passed it! But one senator finally figured it out, and set up a stink over it. So much so that the State Senate then took up the issue again, and voted it down this time. This would be funny if it were not for the fact that the object of the honorarium is such an antithesis to jus...
Well, the king os boring books is at it again. Saying that: "The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected." And driveling on with such assinine statements like: Vonnegut then reportedly told the Ohio State audience: "You all know, of course, that the election was stolen. Right here.” But I guess his stupidest statement shows his complete lack and grasp of reality: "I’m lucky enough to have known a great president, one who really cared about A...
For a change, the Academy Awards were not another Political side show with actors and actress barely able to articulate their names without queue cards bashing everyone who did not believe that their every utterance was an epiphany. Or so it seemed at the time. But there was another battle going on. That of Brokeback Mountain. And while some raved about it and said how ground breaking and deep it was, most people yawned and went about their lives. And on Oscars night, ...
Over the last few months, we have been regaled about the low poll numbers of Bush, and how that portends a devastating loss by the Republicans come November in the Mid Term Elections. But a funny little thing happened on the way to the forums. Somehow the Mainstream Media message failed to reach the Democrats. For you see, 2006 is not a presidential election year, and Bush is not running for any office. Only 34 Senators and 435 members of the house are running (along with ot...
There use to be a joke going around. I think it may have been Yakov Smirnov who started it. Basically it went that an American and Russian were bragging about their countries. The American told the Russian "We can even criticize our president!", and the Russian responded that "We can criticize your president too!". It seems that old jokes dont go away, they just get recycled. And in the latest iteration, it is back, but instead of Russia, it is now Cuba. That wor...
Last week, Walter E. Williams penned an editorial that blasted leading democrats and many so called black leaders. His whole premise was that democrats had to perpetuate the Black Grievances in order to maintain their hold on power. And he is right. And while Dr. Williams is a very eloquent speaker and writer, the tone of his editorial is that instead of energizing their 'base' as has happened in the past, when Hillary Clinton or John Kerry get up and start talking about "you p...
In another demonstration of the cluelessness of Washington, all those senators and representatives that were grandstanding just a week ago about the Dubai Terminal deal are now being shown to be woefully ignorant and petty. For they did not save the US from the next great terrorist attack at all. It seems that the 9 terminals that Dubai Port World would have managed (not ports and not owned) are not their first foray into American Waters. They already have an ownership in s...
In another example (Cuellar anyone?) of the loons on the left not being able to learn, now they are challenging Lieberman with another nut case. The democrats rail about connecting with the American people, yet it is obvious they are so out of touch with mainstream America, that they are cannibalizing their own! Instead of embracing moderates who can win in swing districts, they launch campaigns to unseat them for firebrand radicals that have no chance in hell of winning! And they ca...
Growing up, I always knew about Psycho. My mother was so traumatized by it. I did not see it unti llater in life, but one thing I did know=. Dont come into the bathroom when my mother was taking a shower! I eventually did see it and it was a great movie! More so that it was in black and white and there has been nothing close since then, nor given the reliance on special effects, I suspect there will be any like it in the future. It is a classic. I married a woman wh...
