Air Deadbeat: who, us?

What’s happening in the Air Deadbeat scandal lately? Let’s see, they are still backpedaling and not fully repaying the "loan," and Exempt Media is still ignoring the story. Michelle Malkin links to a NY Post story (thank you for continuing to follow the story, Post), which shows that more people are quiting Gloria Wise Just […]

Air Deadbeat-No Times

The Air Deadbeat saga continues, and the "Paper of Record" still hasn’t shown up at the party. But they do have a pithy op-ed suggesting that tipping be done away with, and replaced with a service charge, just like in Europe. Aaaaaaaaaaaa, BULLSHIT. Tips are based on service. If you ignore me, if the food […]

Air Deadbeat-Poor Al

Poor, poor, Al Franken. Seems that he has had problems getting paid too (via the New York Post) AL Franken says 20,000 poor kids and old people weren’t the only victims of an exec who allegedly arranged a Bronx charity’s mega-buck "loan" to Air America. "About three weeks into the life of Air America, I […]

Air Deadbeat-MSM Still Ignores

Where is the NY Times, the "Paper of Record?" So far, zero coverage of the ongoing Air Deadbeat fiasco. As a matter of fact, there is almost no MSM coverage of this issue. Checking Google and Yahoo news, the only new player is Oregon Live (which links to the Oregonian): There’s, like, a major corporate […]

Air Deadbeat Saga Continues, Lefties Go “Huh?”

It is now 10 days since since the Air Deadbeat story broke (via Bore America), and it continues to not only get worse for them, but it continues to be covered by the right of center blogs. Michelle Malkin links to a story in today’s New York Post, which shows that Air Deadbeat has started […]

Is this stereotypical?

From WRAL: Harnett County authorities said a tractor-trailer carrying chickens overturned in the town of Coats. The accident happened around 6:30 a.m. Thursday on N.C. 27 near Ebenezer Church Road. Authorities say the truck was carrying about 300 chickens. I’m sure the Kosbats would have a sardonic field day with this. Me, I’ll have one […]

AP and the Washington Post catch up

Took almost a month, but the AP and Washington Post finally realized there had been a movement to sieze SCOTUS Judge David Souter’s house, persuant to the KELO v New London decision, with a hotel. Near the foot of an unmarked, dead-end dirt road sits a humble, mud-colored farmhouse more than 200 years old. A […]

R.I.P James “Scotty” Doohan

This old redneck is truly saddened by the demise of James Doohan, who played, of course, Scotty on the original Star Trek. The publicist for James Doohan says the actor who played Scotty on “Star Trek” has died at his home in Redmond, Wash. He was 85. The cause of his death was pneumonia and […]

CNN Stands By Novak

Interesting: Journalist Robert Novak’s status as a CNN contributor will remain unaffected during a federal probe into the revelation of a CIA officer’s identity, executives at the news channel said Sunday. "I think we’re all aware that no one really knows what’s going on in the investigation of the Valerie Plame incident," said Jonathan Klein, […]

On Plame/Rove

I’ve been pretty out of the news blogging thing for about  a week now, since I was on vacation. However, I have one question that may, or may not, have been ignored in the ‘sphere (I have only heard one person ask this on tv, so far): Who gave Valerie Plame’s name to Robert Novak? […]
