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. […]

Over on Fox Nation, a Fox website for their news arm, they often run headlines that are taken directly from a heavily conservative blog called NewsBusters. If you’re not biased already and do your own checking you’ll see that half the headlines today on Fox Nation are directly taken right from this conservative blog. What’s […]

There was a strange headline the other day down in the Entertainment sections of the various news sources. The headline was this: Kevin Spacey horrified of knife crime in BritainIn the story Spacey spoke about loving England and that he’s now considering dual citizenship but then had this comment, “I think crime here (Britain) is […]

Please explain to me why David Letterman, a comedian, is coming under intense scrutiny and fire for making a joke—granted, a bad one. This fake indignation over a non-issue is ludicrous. Why do I view it as a non-issue? Because when and where it matters most, those doing the finger pointing in this case, are […]

Okay, this one cracked me up yesterday. Anyone that gets just a bit of my commentary on politics is sure to think I’m a “bleeding heart liberal” and it’d be pretty sad to jump to that conclusion because the facts just wouldn’t bear you out on it. However, I fully admit that I find the […]

A lot of my friends are simply too young to remember much (if they were even alive) about 1979. However, I remember 1979 very well. For the most part it was a gloomy period. Jimmy Carter was in office and things were going horribly. Most notably, by the end of the year, hostages from our […]

Speaking of much ado about nothing….. I’ve noticed something a bit strange about the Bush Presidents. Why is is that in surprising numbers they show up with embroidered jackets that point out their own titles as if they’ve forgotten they were once President? What am I talking about? Check out this photo: If you blow […]

Fox News is in a lather about the David Letterman joke regarding Sarah Palin and her daughter. As usual the hypocrisy of the network is completely lost on them. I find it quite typical for this crowd that they can, on one hand, try to hold a comedian to the fire over a joke, while […]

The debate about the two major political ideologies got me thinking about ice cream of late. What the heck does that mean? Well, those of you on the right that I’ve interacted with make a big deal of some typical Fox News network talking points. My question is if they really mean what Fox, and […]

For fans of Bill O’Reilly it’s hard to understand what it is about him that bothers the rest of us. I was having a dialog with my father about him when I tripped over a classic example of the problem. The transcript is here: From Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly site. Let me get to the […]

President Ronald Reagan deserves credit for many things, but it’s a disservice to his memory to reinvent the record.

I just got done reading a news article about the changes General Motors (GM) is going through and how those changes will affect the company across the board. My response to this article was rather surprising and worth noting. Conservative pundits are lambasting the government and equating their support of GM and Chrysler as clear […]
