Barack Hussein Obama says we shouldn’t return to the “divisive” rhetoric… well, I don’t know where the likes of him and Shrum and Frum and the rest of them bobbleheads have been cuz we never left the Plains of Divisiveness.  Remember when Lyndon Johnson was around…  Labor Day used to mean something.  Welcome to post […]

Oh, uh… I was over at Josh Marshall’s blog and read what happened to la Alterman… getting arrested, cuffed in the throes of an ass-ignment and having CNN mischaracterize what “really happened. ” Oi bubbe!.  What disrespect for the liberal media… yikes!  On the other hand he does come on at times like a wise-ass.  So […]

While Josh suggests Gore offers us sophomoric rantings I humbly beg to report that the job of a president is to preside.  And this Al Gore does without having to “overachieve.”  He was liked enough (more sophomoric and rife with fulmination version) to win the presidential vote in 2000.  But as former West Pointer and […]

In the US (the world’s “greatest” democracy) politics remains the nation’s number one spectator sport because most people don’t bother to vote.  Get rich quick, lose weight fast.  Lite or gold.  What should I wear to school being more
important than what should I learn there.  What color should the skin on my cell phone be?  It’s ironic that the French, who make no bones about their love-hate relationship with les Americains and go ga-ga over the sleaze of the sleazy West Hollywood motels, have outdone themselves, taking US-style campaign tactics over the top. During the first round of […]

The debate about whether the punishment truly fits in the crime in the case of a now former shock jock who has raised more than $100 million for childrens charities and the subsidiary argument about exactly who gets to sit in judgement on whom is likely to go on for awhile but there is certainly […]

Well, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.  Osama’s still on the loose, the Green Zone is under attack, the Governor of New Jersey is in critical condition, Larry Birkhead may actually be permitted to have a child in his custody, but the good news is that a one-foot-in-the-grave old white dude has been hauled out […]

Yesterday I was driving Goldie, my 1986 Toyota Tercel, east on US 98 through the Redneck Riviera having just crossed George C. Wallace Blvd in Panama City Beach, FL when Daniel Schorr offered his views on l’affaireImus. Stopping short of calling Imus a racist, Schorr suggested that Imus, who was paid to be controversial, ought […]

Once again we find ourselves a nation divided by race.  An  old white man has been disgraced for the apparently unforgivable crime of trying to sound like a hip young black man on the radio.  Forget any possibility of foregiveness.  So egregious was the crime that nobody even cares who the father of Anna Nicole’s baby is anymore. 
The “Reverends” have […]
