Media Blows Another Operation. Asshats.

I thought I would be able to get away with a non serious day. Guess not, thanks to the asshats at Useless News and World Report A classified radiation monitoring program, conducted without warrants, has targeted private U.S. property in an effort to prevent an al-Qaida attack, federal law enforcement officials confirmed Friday. While declining […]

Who is Mohammad Tamir?

With typical depression hysterics, the AP brings us "Afghans Filled with Hope, Disillusionment." Typical of the Exempt Media, little is written about hope, but lots about disillusionment. But, who is their central character? Not so long ago, Mohammad Tahir was a government official with a comfortable salary and a position in the Defense Ministry. Today, […]

12 Days Of Christmas-I’m Bad

On the 3rd Day of Christmas, The Exempt Media gave to me 3 Made Up Stories 2 Santa Strippers and Tookie lit up like a Christmas Tree Yup, today it is 3 BS stories.

Sorta Blogless Sunday Interlude: Kyoto Protocol Debunked

So, perusing the Raleigh News and Observer, and way back near the end of section A-1 is a cute little article about the Kyoto Protocol and protests for it: Thousands of protesters took to the streets in cities worldwide Saturday to demand urgent action on global warming as delegates continued their work at an international […]

CNN and Iraq

Quick musing: I’m wandering around the hotel here in Atlanta, on a 15 minute break in between sessions, and I catch a quick segment on CNN, where they are discussing Iraq. Now, I couldn’t hear anything, but I did catch what CNN calls the Iraqi operations: The War For Iraq. Not the War In Iraq, […]

Photoshopping Hell

Hmm, I reckon that them silly folks at the US Today (.75 cents? Bite Me) thought they were going to get away with some cute photopshopping of Condi. You can see the results at Michelle Malkin’s spot. She reports that it has been taken down by them thar wacky libacritters, but, the fact that they […]

On Hurricanes: Stop the Coverage

Perhaps this is an old refrain, but it might be time for the media to stop covering hurricanes live-on-the-scene as they happen. People see these folks standing out in the elements reporting, and we get to see conditions that often look bad, but not bad enough to make people consider leaving the area. The Weather […]

Katrina: Where’s the Relief?

And why do so many in the MSM, who often have a better view of the overall situation, take a hysterical tone? Now is not the time for hysterics. Now is the time to be calm and reasurring. Even if fake. Those people along the Gulf Coast have been through quite a bit. And it […]

Pourve Paul, Correction Time

Last week I (along with a lot of folks) had an article on Paul Krugman going off his meds regarding the 2000 election. Just another liberal who cannot get over the election. Today, he issued corrections. Sort of. (h/t to Michelle Malkin) Corrections: In my column last Friday, I cited an inaccurate number (given by […]
