The other day I put up a note concerning Jon Stewart running a piece on The Daily Show about Fox News that really spoke to why I have issues with its network, its message and that of many of its chief pundits. Well, it seems it hit the appropriate nerve and Fox’s Bill O’Reilly decided […]

Last night I was watching The Daily Show when Jon Stewart dissected exactly what I find wrong with Fox News and have tried to articulate to those who support it. How anyone supporting this network can watch that piece and still support the hypocrisy that goes on at Fox News says everything about what is […]

Back in high school I realized that nearly every male adult I knew was playing golf at every opportunity, and that it was one hugely expensive sport. When a friend and fellow classmate, John Clark, mentioned joining the golf team my freshman year, my first thought was, “The GOLF team?” That’s when the previous thought hit […]

I’ve been catching commercials from two major companies that offer supplemental car repair insurance for your car and wondered if they’d be of any value. I called the one I see most often—US Fidelis. Their ads are pitched to us by NASCAR star Rusty Wallace. As soon as I landed in the voicemail system I […]

As many of you know, I watch Fox News and listen to 1210am (conservative talk radio). As an Independent I think it’s best to listen to all sides and do my own homework on comments and claims that they make. This causes me a bit of stress as I have a really hard time with […]

Before I get too deep into this let me state right now that I do not support illegal aliens being in our country. I believe that if you’re here that you should be here legally. I also believe that we should do everything in our power to go after corporate America for giving jobs to […]

I mentioned on August 12th that several companies have dropped their advertising dollars from the show of Fox News host Glenn Beck. Today comes news of eight more including some whoppers. The list today adds Wal-Mart, Best Buy, CVS, Travelocity, Allergan, Ally Bank, Broadview Security, and Re-Bath. The first four most all of us are […]

Word this weekend is that President Obama is ready to drop the demand for a public health care option. In other words, once again, the spineless Democrats have failed in the face of a much-weakened Republican party effort to stifle it. If this administration cannot get us a public option it will be the first […]

I noticed that Senator Ted Kennedy was noted as being too ill from brain cancer to attend the funeral of his amazing sister Eunice Shriver. My first thought when I saw this was that his being that ill probably means that he’s not doing at all well and may be on his own deathbed at […]

Popular conservative publication Investor’s Business Daily ran a piece against health care reform saying that the much talked about end of life counseling piece would have terrible repercussions and stated that people like noted professor Steven Hawking “wouldn’t have a chance” in such a system. “People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance […]

In case you haven’t heard the really questionable rhetoric being put forth by Glenn Beck on Fox News is finally being addressed in a way that hits this sort of show where it hurts most—in it’s wallet. News came on Tuesday that insurance giant GEICO has pulled its advertising from the program. Last week Beck […]

Bill Moyers conducted an interview with a man by the name of Wendell Potter who, for 15 years rose to be the head of corporate communications for Cigna—one of the nations largest and most successful health insurance companies. Mr. Potter recently left Cigna after a distinguished career there after having had a crisis of conscience. […]
