An interesting article in Open Salon talks about how television news has changed since the days of Walter Cronkite. News then: News now: Not only does the screen visually assault you with information, but pundits talk over each other, rant and yell. And we wonder why children these days aren’t learning simple manners and don’t […]
Ann Coulter calls the “birthers” (people who think Obama is not a natural born citizen) a bunch of “cranks” on Fox News: Of course, the birthers immediately turn on Coulter: Coulter has gone over to the dark side. Her dark roots are showing. Anne, you are losing it girl. In fact, I think you have […]
Is he really this stupid? Really? Just in case you need more proof.

[These jokes are all about the ongoing feud between David Letterman and Sarah Palin.] “Thank you very much. Welcome to the ‘Late Show’, ladies and gentlemen. Now, when I call your name, please come forward and pick up your apology.” – David Letterman “Hi, everyone. I’m Jimmy, I’m the host of the show. Before we […]
Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer says: What Fox did is not just create a venue for alternative opinion. It created an alternate reality. Ironically, I think he meant it as a compliment.
It was bad enough when Republican candidates in the presidential election invoked Jack Bauer from the TV show 24 as their model for how to deal with terrorists. Now the National Review has published an incredibly surreal list of the “Best Conservative Movies of the Last 25 Years“. Here’s the complete list: #25: Gran Torino […]
