Some days…

Some days, after hearing about McCain not supporting the GI Bill expansion, after watching the MSM rip into Obama because of some poorly chosen (though ultimately accurate) words, after seeing Clinton use that same cheap attack, after watching some of the worst political reporting in history, I almost want to move into the mountains and [...]

Least Relevant Blog Index

Time’s Top 25 blogs
Now, I actually like a number of the blogs on this list.  But I’m not sure there’s any online publication less relevant to the world of blogging (or the web in general) than Time (even though an old friend of mine writes for them).  There are many who are equally irrelevant, but [...]

Heckler? Or doing CNN’s job?

CNN decides that, by asking the questions CNN should be asking, a high school girl is heckling McCain

Well, first off, the media often does these kind of human [...]

I really hadn’t thought about The Dark Knight this way

(I make reference to body counts below, a couple times. I am only referring to American dead. 4000. For the purpose of this post, we’ll forget about the astronomical number of Iraqis who have died in all this. The argument described below is based purely on how the troops, and the [...]

Supreme Court to hear Supremely Stupid FCC case

Am I the only one who sees the contextual differences between the three statements below?That aside, the fleeting expletive policy is just insane. What if Bono had gotten up there, tripped and banged his head and said ‘FUCK!’, which would be a pretty understandable thing to say? The fact is that if hearing [...]
