You remember Charlie Brooker, right? He’s the guy who ruminated about someone shooting President Bush if he was re-elected. And now he writes Last week I watched the most frightening horror movie I’ve ever seen. It was about three hours long, and, incredibly, it all unfolded live. I’m talking, of course, about the inauguration of […]

The Surrender Monkey was laughing too hard after reading the headline at cBS News (story by Politico)Â to provide commentary, but his calm cousin, Staring Monkey, who does a great job at looking incredulous, is filling in, and just cannot believe the headline or the story. The full headline? The Great Unknown: How Will Obama Govern? […]

Let’s play name that Party affiliation! While some other news outlets finally get to Becker being a Democrat, usually deep within the story, MSNBC fails to mention the D word The man who has taken over for Racine Mayor Gary Becker after his arrest on probable charges of pornography and solicitation of a minor say […]

Even the Surrender Monkey’s cousin, who posed for the banner, can’t believe the idiocy and Bush Derangement Syndrome from Paul Krugman and the NY Times. For people who claim to be progressives and liberals, who look towards the future, they just can’t let go of the past. Nor can they join people here in Reality […]

The IDF said that since terminal activity is coordinated with […]

Surrendie would have much preferred covering the Jimmy Carter (hearts) Hamas story from yesterday, but, the United Nations’ and CNN’s pro-Hamas stance works, too: Israel brushes off U.N. cease-fire resolution Israel continued its offensive in Gaza on Friday, hitting more than 50 targets, despite the U.N. Security Council’s call for an immediate cease-fire. Prime Minister […]

Why? Because French public television network France 2 on Tuesday revealed they had aired photographs that allegedly showed destruction caused by the Israel Air Force during Operation Cast Lead, which were in fact taken during a different incident in 2005, one in which Gaza civilians were killed by an explosion caused by militants in the […]

One of the types of stories the Credentialed Media loves is when a military member is involved in some sort of crime, that way they can push the meme that they are all psycho’s and malcomtents. So, to see this headline on the front page of CNN – saw it on CNN mobile as the […]

After years of a constant Credentialed Media drumbeat of how bad the war deaths have been, particularly in Iraq, while mostly avoiding mention of the decreases caused by The Surge, now, with 21 days left with Dubya as President, they want to tell us how great things have gone because of The Surge.
