How Much Does It Cost To Control The Press?

Quite a bit, and, I’m suspecting the Credentialed Medai, no matter how left leaning they are, will not appreciate this report. If there is one thing they truly hate, it is being played Barack Obama’s White House is spending more than $80,000 a week to staff its old and new media offices. Add the price […]

Helen Thomas Browbeats Robert Gibbs Over Transparency

Gotta give the old girl her props: she may be a serious far lefty and virulent Bush hater, but, it seems she has had quite enough of the way the Obama administration handles the press Following a testy exchange during today’s (Wednesday) briefing with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, veteran White House correspondent Helen […]

ObamaCare Day Long Infomercial=Fail

OK, I’ll admit, I did not watch, ore really even read, anything during the day Wednesday as ABC News and The White House became one and the same. But, see there were two little problems for Obama and his “I’m not going to do away with private insurance *wink wink*” agenda: Mark Sanford, and ABC […]

Violence In Iran After Election Sham, And Grey Lady Gets HopeyChangeyIdioty

First of all It is impossible to know for sure how much the ostensible re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad represents the preference of an essentially conservative Iranian public and how much, as opposition voters passionately believe, it is the imposed verdict of a fundamentally authoritarian regime. Witnesses reported that at least one person had been shot […]

Gitmo Detainees To Get Satellite TV And Sudoku

Wow. Gauntanamo Bay detention facility is really turning into a fantastic prison.

Then I ended up at the Detroit Free Press, which had an, shall we say, interesting spin After back-to-back mistrials, five men from one of Miami’s poorest neighborhoods were convicted today […]

How’d The Obama Contentless Prime Timers Go For The Networks?

Not so well, actually By and large, they personally forked out for his campaign, they voted for him, and they know he is capable of boosting TV ratings just by making an appearance. But executives at the Big Four broadcast networks are seething behind the scenes that President Obama has cost them about $30 million […]

Boy Not Arrested And Held Using Patriot Act

Perhaps you heard about the hysterical story from April 29th about a boy arrested using the Patriot Act Sixteen-year-old Ashton Lundeby’s bedroom in his mother’s Granville County home is nothing, if not patriotic. Images of American flags are everywhere – on the bed, on the floor, on the wall. But according to the United States government, […]

Good News! ABC Outs CIA Contractors!

Remember the time that ABC and the rest of the liberal media, not too mention the Left-O-Sphere, where in a high dudgeon over Valerie Plame’s outing? They wanted investigations, impeachments, and jailings. They said she, and the United States, were made less safe. Her husband said the same thing after outing her on his Who’s […]

You Extreme Right Wing Extremists Are Just Too Extremist

Or so thinks the Politico, which proves that the Left just doesn’t get what Conservatism is about, and also shows that the “GOP elite” do not get it, either. You can see it in the headline, In GOP base, a ‘rebellion brewing’, the problem being that Conservatives do not see our politics, which you can […]
