Newsweek’s Horrible Unlife As a Propaganda Rag Continues Posted: 16 Jan 2012 09:54 PM PST When I first saw this, I swore to myself it had to be some sort of Photoshopped spoof. It’s not, though. This is a real tweet from the official Newsweek Twitter account. Presenting this week's cover: President Barack Obama! In which we ask, why are his critics so dumb? Newsstands Monday. http://t.co/Xlm26rgX January 15, 2012 16:55 via webReplyRetweetFavorite @Newsweek Newsweek And this is the picture behind that link. Great, huh? I remember when the magazine was respectable, when its editors and authors had some sense of pride. Those days are long gone, though. Now, the magazine is a vanity project for its “editor” Tina Brown, who only marketable ability has been to convince people with more money than intelligence that they should ignore her long string of failures and hand her the controls of another publication so she can pilot it into the side of a mountain. But her descent into vapid propagandist can be our gain. Newsweek’s cover has already provided fodder for some delightful Photoshop responses that capture the tenor of the magazine perfectly. I’d take any one of them over the real cover. They, at least, show off some wit and maturity.

The Delivery Presents – The Capitalism I Want (Plus a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT) Posted: 16 Jan 2012 09:02 PM PST SPECIAL PROGRAMMING NOTE: Due to scheduling issues, I’ve had to move the live version of The Delivery to a new time on Tuesday nights: 8:30 PM Eastern Time. Yep, that’s an hour earlier than normal, so please, mark your calendars and fancy reminder apps. Again, the new time for the live version of The Delivery is 8:30 PM ET, Tuesday Nights. I’m pretty sure I never expected to be on the opposite side of an issue from Rush Limbaugh, but all this silliness over “vulture capitalism” finally did it. Episode 129 is my defense of Newt Gingrich and my stand against the defense of capitalism simply because it’s capitalism. At some point, we conservatives must draw the line between good business and fiscal rapaciousness. After what we’ve learned happened on Wall Street in the years before the housing and credit crashes, we on the right must learn that not every business practice is worth our defense. Legal and right are not synonymous and, as much as I hate to say it, Rush smeared a good man because he was unwilling to differentiate between the two. I don’t expect many of my conservative friends will agree with me, but I’m willing to stand by myself on this one if I must. 2011 was a pretty good year for The Delivery. I went over the year-end download numbers toward the end of the show — over 13,000 downloads each month on average — and ended on a high note. I’ve said this more times than I can count, but I love making The Delivery every week. I’m proud that SMPMike and I can put something together that so many of you enjoy and we have plans for much, much more. I want to see the show’s ratings skyrocket this year and with your help, I’ve no doubt we can do it. The Delivery - Episode 129 This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

The Delivery Presents – Corruption and Zombies and #Caring. Oh Joy! Posted: 16 Jan 2012 08:47 PM PST I think that Episode 128 may mark the point at which you could hear me flat-out give up on the belief that the Republican Party has any real interest in smaller, more responsible government. There are four stories from the past few years that all point to the massive amount of arrogance, incompetence, and corruption in our Federal government and I’m beyond flabbergasted that the GOP hasn’t done everything it can to keep them in the headlines every day. Of course, the folks responsible for all the messages from the Republican Party and its various parts are highly-paid, experienced political professionals so I’m sure they know what they’re doing. I mean, they must have some grand scheme in mind, right? Kurt Schlichter came along for the second half, in which we started talking about shows that spend too much time on feelings and too little time on plausible plots and realistic character motivations. By the end, we had pretty much planned out how we’d survive a zombie apocalypse, which may just come in handy, so be sure to take notes! Oddly enough, the segue between the two subjects was pretty smooth, if I do say so myself. You don’t get that on just any podcast.
