Class Warfare Fox News Style

July 18th, 2011 · No Comments · america, Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Republicans

I don’t know if Fox has ever reported on anything accurately.  Their journalism reflects their propensity to give their viewers what they crave rather than report the news.  That’s not a news organization, that’s a reality show.

The Art Of Softball Confrontation

June 29th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Democracy, News, Republicans

Chris Wallace had the right theme in questioning Michele Bachmann on  Fox News Sunday.  While the wisdom of his line of questioning was sound, his approach leaned heavily to the land of soft toss–not unexpected by a Fox host toward a conservative guest.  The flake comment gets a lot of the attention because of its [...]

Reggie Brown’s Lack Of Self-Awareness

June 19th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Comedy, Politics, Racism, Republicans

I wouldn’t say these jokes about Barack Obama are racially charged.  They may push the envelope on good taste though. More broadly, they lack certain sensibilities.  It’s almost as if Brown expected his audience to soak up the venom gladly. Not with the cameras running. I’ve heard worse, but don’t quit your day job Mr. [...]

The GOP Debate Begins To Flesh Out The Winners From The Losers

June 14th, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Elections, News, Politics, Republicans

Two observations about the first GOP Presidential Debate: Mitt Romney clearly separated himself from the pack of milquetoast contenders vying for the crown.  Romney showed deftness, quiet strength, and a mature yet effective  argumentative style.   The most stark contrast came between he and Herman Cain, token flamethrower in the race.  Cain while charming, cannot [...]

The Conservative Brand On Display

June 6th, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

Conservatives continue to push narratives outside the mainstream–and in the case of Carmen San Diego Palin–out and out make shit up without regard to fallout, and seemingly without consequence. Mitt Romney continues to deny a record as governor he built, and programs he initiated quite proudly. How can anyone govern sensibly and with a bi-partisan [...]

American Unexceptionalism

June 2nd, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Political Fringe, Republicans

WTF: “In my opinion, any mandate coming from government is not a good thing, so obviously … there will be more the explanation coming from former governor, Romney, on his support for government mandates … Even on a state level and even a local level, mandates coming from a governing body, it’s tough for a [...]

Obama Sullies The Memories Of The Lost In Joplin

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Comedy, Political Fringe, Racism, Republicans

God Bless Fox News for reporting on what is really important. The president finally decided to put the Guinness down, leave Europe, and pay his respects to those lost in the devastating tornadoes in Joplin. Fox breaks the REAL news.  That news wasn’t the terrific, humbling, unifying speech given by the president.  It wasn’t the [...]

Herman Cain And The Federal Reserve

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

You’re going to see more of this as Cain becomes more well known in conservative circles–and to the American public.  His record will be scrutinized vigorously, and his tenure at the Kansas City Federal Reserve could prove very toxic to the tea party– the group who exults Mr. Cain.I’m curious as to how he justifies [...]

The Campaign Will End Before It Begins

May 17th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

This is epic. Conservatives know Newt doesn’t stand a chance. The man cannot make a statement about anything, without having to either clarify it the next day, or completely reverse course . It’s part of his history. Not a good look for a leader is it? Is it any wonder why he crashed and burned [...]

Quote Of The Day

May 12th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Political Fringe, Republicans

“With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you’re going to enslave not [...]
