Mike Brown Part 2: The Media Bias Factor

Of course, even after reading the same things you read in “Mike Brown Part 1,” the New York Times turns things around and blames Bush: “But Mr. Brown’s account, in which he described making “a blur of calls” all week to Mr. Chertoff, Mr. Card and Mr. Hagin, suggested that Mr. Bush, or at least […]

Hurricane Ophelia Update

Today was a first in that I was actually woken up by the wind blowing outside my window. Taking the dog out to poop was a real adventure too. There were big tree limbs down in the yard and these huge trees were swaying and bending waaaaaay too much for my taste….oh, and those are […]

 

Unions, Temps, Wal-Mart, & Irony

Folks, if you’re for a single news story that is so jam packed with irony that it could actually inspire Alanis Morissette to write a song called “Ironic Part 2,” then today is your lucky day. That’s because Stacy Willis at the Las Vegas Weekly has written one of the most irony packed columns that […]

 


I Get Letters: The Black Leader Edition

As a blogger, I can tell you that there’s nothing quite like getting acerbic, barely coherent, hate mail from semi-literate cretins. But, don’t take my word for it! Now you too can experience the same thrill as you read some of these very real emails that I’ve received of late. Enjoy! From: (BOBBYBEE100@**********) Subject: i […]

Ophelia Update

Ophelia has been upgraded to a category 1 hurricane and it’s moving like it has drawn a bead on my location. They’ve even done mandatory evacuations of some of the nearby areas that are on the beach front. Also, this isn’t exactly encouraging news: “North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley said coastal residents should be prepared […]

 

My Roberts Hearing Prediction

Don’t get too up, too down, or too excited in general about the Roberts hearing because it’s unlikely anything really crucial is going to happen. Instead, here’s how you can expect it to go if there are no big surprises: grandstanding Democratic Senators and a few RINOS will unleash stemwinders about whatever issue they want […]

 



Helping Out John Zogby

Over at the Huffington Post, pollster John Zogby has been left scratching his head by the results of one of his own polls. It seems that in the latest Zogby Poll, he asked likely voters to choose between George Bush and every President from Jimmy Carter on + John Kerry. Here are the results: Bush […]

Blogad Problems

If you’ve had problems getting to Right Wing News, Conservative Grapevine, or much of the rest of the blogosphere for the last few hours, it’s because blogads is down. I’ve taken blogads down on RWN and CG and that’s has fixed the problem for the moment. Hopefully, blogads will be back up soon…

 

Mary Landrieu’s Bus Related Meltdown

This is just too good not to post. It’s Mary Landrieu completely crumbling, live on air, over the Ray Nagin Memorial Motor Pool.

A Hurricane Ophelia Heads Up

Currently, hurricane Ophelia is hovering off the NC/SC Coast. While the path the hurricane is going to take is uncertain, it looks as if it’s either going to hit the area I live in or maybe, just maybe, it’s going to make landfall to our north. In any case, I am planning to hang around […]

 

The Election That Never Ended

This week-end, as I pondered the massive political spin the Democrats & their allies in the mainstream media engaged in after hurricane Katrina, I had an epiphany. Bush started campaigning in early 2004, continued right up to the elections, then Bush moved on from there to governing. However, that’s not the case for the Democrats […]

 

Worst Mayor Ever

This is beyond pathetic: “Appearing on NBC’s “Dateline,” Nagin was asked by host Stone Phillips: “What was mobilized? I mean were national guard troops in position. Were helicopters standing by? Were buses ready to take people away?” “No. None of that,” the Big Easy mayor replied. “Why is that?” an incredulous Phillips asked. Nagin replied: […]
