© Kevin Siers Why would anyone believe anything coming from Andrew Breitbart ever again? We’ve already been fooled more than once by him. As Dubya said, “fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again”.
[I’m reposting this from Bullseye Rooster, in honor of Helen Thomas. © Fred Wickham] Nearly eighty years after displacement from their historic early 20th century homeland, Israelites are returning to Europe. From the air, impossibly long lines of Priuses, motorbikes, and tour-buses can be seen carrying the Jews through the desert into Syria. From there, […]

This entire video is great, but it really gets interesting around the 4:50 mark, when Jon Stewart points out the stunning irony of conservative pundits comparing Obama to Bush; for example, claiming that the nomination of Elena Kagan is “Obama’s Harriet Miers”, the oil spill is “Obama’s Katrina”, health care is “Obama’s Iraq”, and on […]
Some of the jokes Obama told at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner: It’s been quite a year since I’ve spoken here last — lots of ups, lots of downs — except for my approval ratings, which have just gone down. But that’s politics. It doesn’t bother me. Beside I happen to know that my approval […]
Congratulations to Mark Fiore for winning the Pulitzer for his editorial cartoons (like this one). Ironically, Apple computer rejected an iPhone/iPad app that plays Fiore’s (Pulitzer winning) cartoons, because “it contains content that ridicules public figures”, and thus is “objectionable” and “defamatory”. Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch has praised the iPad, saying “There’s going to […]

I think I’ve wasted your time. I have wasted an hour of your time. And I apologize for that.” Shouldn’t he end every one of his shows […]

Two years ago, CBS refused to run ads created by Moveon.org during the Superbowl, claiming that “the spot violated the network’s policy against running issue advocacy advertising”. They also refused to run an ad from PETA, the animal rights group, because they do not accept advertisements on “controversial issues of public importance.” This year CBS […]
… some of the ideas that have been proposed recently seem like someone was just trying to see how crazy an idea they could get away with. Like billions in dollars in bonuses being handed out by companies that were about to go bankrupt. WTF? Are they just trying to demonstrate conclusively that they own […]

Obama is in a tough spot. His biggest promise was to “change the tone of politics in Washington”, by seeking a return to respectful political dialog, careful deliberation rather than pandering to voters, and actual governance rather than sound bites. But in keeping his promise, he is being denounced as not being tough enough. Americans […]

According to an article in the NY Times, The Dallas Morning News has restructured its management so that news editors now report directly to the executives who mange ad sales. According to the Times this “overturns longstanding traditions in American newspapers aimed at shielding news judgments from business concerns.” Does this make you want to […]
