Another telling event happened yesterday that I almost forgot to mention. On an early morning Fox News show they were discussing all the town hall meetings that are being “attended” and the talk turned to the debate over them turning into a mob atmosphere. The main host showed some selected footage from a few of […]
So I’m switching through channels last night and I noticed that on Fox News there’s a one hour show on the 40th anniversary of the Helter Skelter murders ordered by Charlie Manson of Sharon Tate and six others over two nights back in 1969. The show is hosted by Fox’s Greta Van Susteren but it […]
The news this morning should be joyous with regard to the release of the two U.S. journalists from North Korea. Instead, in an on-going example of just how screwed up our country has become, the Right is contorting itself to find any way to cast a negative hue over this positive event. I knew what […]
A couple weeks ago I was watching a segment on Hardball (with Chris Matthews) about the bizarre birther “controversy” and it included a woman by the name of Orly Taitz who listed her background as being a lawyer, a dentist and a real estate broker. Jon Stewart had a blast with the segment. The woman […]
I had a recent experience (as in this past weekend) that I thought I’d put a note up about, as I doubt I’m alone. It involves my mother who reads this blog, so if this comes off as insulting in any manner, it’s not intended, and you have my apology in advance (though I should […]
Dip what? Dip tubes I say. So, last week I was in the bathroom (on the second floor) and while brushing my teeth I noticed that the water pressure suddenly dropped down very low. I checked both the hot and cold side and it was low on both. I dismissed it for the evening. The […]
There are 40 Americans this week that owe this country an apology—an apology that has nothing to do with racism or police in the Northeast. These 40 are from the ranks of our own representatives in the Senate. This past week, in an amazing show of strength against waste in government, the Senate voted to […]
Apparently we’ve invented a time machine and I totally missed the story. I’d have jumped at the chance to invest in the company behind it. What time machine? Well, that’s the only conclusion I can reach to explain the tinfoil hat crowd that believe President Obama wasn’t born in this country and continue to push […]
Yesterday I caught a news item and the instant I read it I knew it would only be a short wait before some at Fox News distorted it. Much to my non-surprise it was Sean Hannity leading the way. The news story was from USA Today and was titled, “Billions in aid go to areas […]
Backing up is one of those challenging tasks that’s as looked forward to as trips to the dentist. In fact, it’s even more of a problem because we all know that if you don’t go to the dentist you’re likely to experience pain whereas not backing up has the specter of pain but it may […]
Just got a new advertisement from my bank and it bothers me. My bank, for the record, is TD Bank (formerly Commerce Bank) and they’ve been a rather exceptional bank over the years with just a hiccup or two along the way. However, this latest marketing effort just hit me entirely the wrong way. Let […]
I was watching Fox News last night and listening to WPHT 1210 AM over the last few days. The interesting part of it is all the gnashing of teeth over the idea that all this Michael Jackson coverage has nothing to do with popularity and everything to do with media hype for no good reason. […]
