Yeah, They’re Tools All Right.

Posted: 26 May 2010 12:19 PM PDT

I wonder if anyone at the New York Times considered how many Americans this story is likely to kill before they released it? WASHINGTON — The top American commander in the Middle East has ordered a broad expansion of clandestine military activity in an effort to disrupt militant groups or counter threats in Iran, Saudi Arabia, [...]

The Delivery Presents – Lost, In My Eyes.

Posted: 26 May 2010 11:42 AM PDT

I decided to run the whole show solo this week, which means that Episode 40 is freewheeling and just a little bit ranty. I do think I got the balance between bloviation and entertainment balanced well enough, though. The chatroom folks seemed to like how it came off. I think we’ve come up with a good [...]

I Think It’s Time for a Westboro Beatdown

Posted: 24 May 2010 03:38 PM PDT

I pray that all the cable news networks send a camera crew to this. According to the official web site of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) — an independent Baptist church and hate group known for its hatred of homosexuals and its protest activities (which include picketing funerals) — WBC is planning [...]

You Know, Robert, Sometimes I Regret that You Can Run Your Mouth, Too.

Posted: 24 May 2010 02:59 PM PDT

I can see how Robert Gibbs would find the First Amendment regrettable. When your job is to lie to 300 million Americans ever day, you probably wouldn’t want them to freely talk back. That doesn’t make for much job security..bbpBox{background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/68673248/twitterbrd.JPG) #9AE4E8;padding:20px;}Gibbs: “You’ve got to have a license to drive a car in this country but [...]

At Least I Saw the Happy Soap Opera Ending!

Posted: 24 May 2010 12:40 PM PDT

You might have heard this morning that there was a television event last night of some cultural significance. Heck, you’re probably hearing about it today around the office or from your e-mail or Twitter accounts. You’ll be hearing about it at least through the week as folks continue to analyze the cultural impact of Lost, [...]

Immigration Math: One Frog > Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano

Posted: 23 May 2010 11:46 AM PDT

For over a month, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has patiently endured a series of ignorant attacks from various high-ranking officials of the Obama administration against the immigration law she signed and continues to support. I say ignorant because not a single one of those officials who have been flapping their jaws about the law have [...]

CNN’s Campbell Brown Acknowledges Her Ratings Stink, Quits

Posted: 19 May 2010 03:16 PM PDT

Color me surprised... and no, I'm not shocked to hear that the network's ratings are abysmal. We grown ups have known it for a while, but have politely let some people keep the dream alive. Like Santa.

The Delivery Presents – Thugs and Criminals and Khaaaaaan!

Posted: 19 May 2010 11:12 AM PDT

I really don’t know how I managed to go 38 episodes of The Delivery without a significant conversation about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. I remedied that this week in a conversation with film and commercial director Ladd Ehlinger. You probably haven’t heard very much of Ehlinger before today, but if you’ve watched [...]

Posted: 19 May 2010 10:36 AM PDT

A friend alerted me to a security flaw on the Georgia Secretary of State website that has many business owners in the Peach State furious... and rightfully so.

Today We Summon the Ghost of Eason Jordan’s Career!

Posted: 19 May 2010 08:58 AM PDT

What do these stories have in common?The story that created the legacy media. Newsweek's Koran-in-the-can moment and its retraction. Hey, let's run the same cover story every week! America is a land of diverse political views...except when it isn't. Some industries deserve bankruptcy. Is Newsweek the canary in the MSM's coalmine? Is there a dictator CNN hasn't propped up? 'Twas the Night [...]

The Power of the Entrepreneur, In Campaign Ad and Blog Reporting Form

Posted: 18 May 2010 10:49 AM PDT

If this isn’t the best political campaign commercial of all time, it’s certainly the best one I’ve seen in my recent memory. I won’t post it here so that Stacy gets all the link love he has earned for being the first one to get the word out about it, so take a moment to [...]

Breaking: CNN covered the Nashville flood for two minutes, talked to a Gulf Coast fisherman about the oil spill!

Posted: 17 May 2010 12:40 PM PDT

Living in Alabama, I am sandwiched between disasters. Below me, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; above me, flooding in Tennessee.

I Am A Washington Sports Fan and I Know Pain

Posted: 17 May 2010 11:11 AM PDT

As a Washington, DC sports fan, I’m used to a certain amount of soul-blighting disappointment. I know what it’s like to watch year after year of abysmal failure broken only by the tease of middling success that makes you think that maybe things have turned around only to watch grim reality dash your hopes against [...]

Eric Holder: Less Cool Under Fire than William Hung, More Tongue-Tied Than Fonzie.

Posted: 16 May 2010 05:50 PM PDT

I have to think that some minor flunky in the Obama Administration tasked with making sure Eric Holder didn’t get loose in front of television cameras will be sitting in the unemployment line on Monday. That poor unfortunate’s goose was cooked when Holder sat down in front of a House committee and tried to answer [...]
