Finally, on October 17, there is going to be an offshoot of the Tea Partys that directly go for the Legacy Media. There is a planned picket of CNN in Atlanta. The only problem that I can see with it, is that the Legacy Media really doesn’t see itself as biased (CNN, CBS, NBC) or… Continue reading

As much as I hate to keep on about this Polanski thing, I did read one good thing today. Via Insty, Ed Bernero actually writes that he is ashamed of those of his peers who are supporting this creepy pedophile. Big Hollywood has started its own petition for those who think that Polanski should face… Continue reading

Not only did Chicago NOT get the Olympic Games, they were out in the first round despite the fact that the Obamas and Oprah made an appearance. Via Gateway Pundit, they are blaming Bush for making the world hate the United States SOOOO much that they couldn’t possibly give us the Olympics (you would think… Continue reading

Talking with B this morning. Tried to understand why they had to send Oprah and Michelle and Barak to Denmark instead of the mayor of the city that’s been angling for the Olympics. Best we can figure is that Daly just has never bothered to take any speech lessons and he sounds like a Capone-era… Continue reading

In an article from the Northwest Indiana newspaper online, there is a story of two men who were robbed by a man (who they had driven all over town). Before he robbed them, he asked them if they liked guns. When they replied ‘no’, he informed them that he had a gun (which they never… Continue reading

Found the list of signatees to the Roman Polanski get out of jail free petition. It includes a bunch of folks I never heard of, but now I can’t watch any movie by Guillermo del Toro, Scorsese, Terry Gilliam, or Woody Allen. I guess I’ll give away or burn my copy of Pan’s Labyrinth but… Continue reading

Via RobertaX: an ad campaign in London warning women to not hold onto guns for their menfolk. What gets me is their front page: “Know when to say no. Picking up a gun or a knife always makes a situation worse never better.” I dunno, I can think of a whole bunch of situations where… Continue reading

With so many things happening in the world–socialism failing miserably in Europe (good thing); Obama punting on Afghanistan (bad); health care bill hopefully dying (good); I hate to write about Roman Polanski, but kind of feel the need to put something out there. The guy is an admitted pedophile–he admitted to and was convicted of… Continue reading

Via The Chronicle of Higher Education comes E.D. Hirsch Jr.’s article entitled “How Schools Fail Democracy”. He states in part… More than 40 years ago, the historian Richard Hofstadter observed that it was unsound to assume that the individual development of every child must coincide, through a kind of established harmony, with the development of… Continue reading

Not what you’re thinking, but in NY, health care workers have been mandated by law to get the H1N1 vaccine shot. Now that it’s available and they are having to get them, some of the workers are…. peeved. And I don’t blame them a bit. Mandated shots and then what’s next?? You can bet that… Continue reading
