Katie C And The Hard News

Can't you just feel the buzz and anticipation for Katie Couric to step into the big (floppy) shoes at cBS? So much so that that hard news source, Access Hollywood, has talked about her. And all sorts of "hard news" sites picked the story up. Unfortunately, what made the rounds of the 'sphere was incorrect […]

Cut And Run vs Stay And Die

I'm so glad that the UselessA Today has given an opinion piece featuring a Conservative and a Surrender Monkey such a middle of the road title. Cal Thomas is a conservative columnist. Bob Beckelis a liberal Democratic strategist. But as longtime friends, they can often find common ground on issues that lawmakers in Washington cannot. […]

Hot Sh*t, Bush Curses

Of all the cockamamie stories for the Big Media to focus on, this is about the last one I would have picked (from the Clinton News Network): Apparently not expecting an open mike to pick up his remarks, Bush told Blair: "See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get […]

Just a general thought: if everyone knew that USA and the Treasury Department were investigating where the terrorist money is, where it came from, and where it is going, then how come the NY Slimes had to splash it all over the front page? We all know that the weather is going to do something. […]

NY Times: Let’s Burn The Flag

In a typical Times editorial, the paper is taking the position that a Constitutional amendment would be, well, unconstitutional. With the Fourth of July fast approaching, Senate Republicans are holding a barbecue. Unfortunately, instead of grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, they are trying to torch a hole in the First Amendment's free speech guarantee by […]

But All The Terrorists Knew!!!!!!

I am going to cite Raven's post on the Times treason for a 2nd time today, regarding one of the comments. It is similar to something that I have heard around the left-o-sphere a few times, namely, that the terrorists already knew we were involved in all types of intelligence programs, such as electronic surveillance […]

King Wants Times Investigation

Via MSNBC: WASHINGTON – The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee urged the Bush administration on Sunday to seek criminal charges against newspapers that reported on a secret financial-monitoring program used to trace terrorists.
