Everything Else 2016 Republican Debate #1

Last week, on both his radio show and his Fox News show, Sean Hannity made it absolutely clear that President-Elect Barack Obama waited until today to release his internal report on the Rod Blagojevich scandal so that he could release all the bad news in it during a period where no one would be paying […]

Caroline Kennedy will forever be in the hearts of anyone my age and older for the touching images of her and her father and the lasting images of her and little John at their father’s funeral. As far as I can tell that’s just about all she has in the way of qualifications to be […]

I do not believe in DRM (Digital Rights Management) for music or any media. It’s a form of copy protection and I’ve written many times about the issues of copy protection. It protects almost nothing, annoys most everyone (except the pirates) and reduces revenue. Anyone thinking this helps capitalism doesn’t have a clue what they’re […]

One thing that bugs me intensely about Sean Hannity is the way he purposely bathes himself in his own aura and attempts to claim patriotic superiority above others. His logo for his site shows him looking skyward (heavenward) draped by a backdrop of an American flag. His radio show opens with a call-to-arms song as […]

Once and for all, if you believe that the Community Reinvestment Act, signed into law in 1977 by Jimmy Carter, is the cause or even a major cause of the housing collapse or credit crisis, then you are part of the problem. The same is true if you believe the cause is government regulation forcing […]

I decided to watch Hannity & Colmes tonight to see what Alan Colmes would say about his departure. The segments prior to that were quite challenging to get through. We had Karl Rove continuing to impress me with this new persona that he’s adopted regarding honesty. It’s amazing what a turn-around this guy has gone […]

News on the Right today includes an interesting tidbit that Alan Colmes is leaving Fox News‘ Hannity & Colmes show in the near future. My big question is, will anyone even notice a difference? I’m not knocking Colmes here. It seemed clear from the outset that this show was always totally about Sean Hannity, period. […]

I’ve been watching Fox News for a bit of late and the entire experience makes me feel dirty. The channel is littered with people I wouldn’t trust for five minutes with my child, my home or my wallet. Bill O’Reilly ran a piece during his show about “San Francisco”. I put that in quotes because […]

Many of the pundits on the Right seem to think everyone was born yesterday. Their ability to sit on air and with a straight face or steady voice spew out complete bullshit is just amazing. The idea that the current stock market is currently being affected mainly by something they call the “Obama Recession” is […]

Remember this one. Rush Limbaugh today told listeners that he wouldn’t be surprised if Barack Obama didn’t run for a second term (has anyone told this guy that Obama hasn’t even started his first term yet?) if Obama, get this, achieves everything he “really” intends to do. What??? He seems to think that Obama will […]

On Hardball tonight (I was bouncing between all three cable news networks—Karl Rove was on Hannity & Colmes talking about how Bush was successful and we all didn’t get it) Chris Matthews was asking how Barack Obama was going to govern. Mainly he was trying to get to the bottom of whether we should expect […]

The pundits are still on the “socialism” rant regarding President-Elect Barack Obama. Someone needs to shove a dictionary in the face of these guys. Socialism: An economic system in which the basic means of production are primarily owned and controlled collectively, usually by government under some system of central planning. An economic, social and political […]
