Have You Heard The News?

by dinhternet on 7/11/2008 10:40:33 PM

Some randomness for you… On a grander scale, things suck as much as ever. Of course, you don’t really hear about most of these things from TV or newspapers. Maybe The Voice has a point. The mainstream news is so “packaged” nowadays. Good thing the Internet is forcing chan... Continue »

In this week’s The New Yorker’s The Talk of the Town, there is an article that takes a closer look at Barack Obama, quoting a speech he gave on October 2, 2002 to a small group of Chicagoans who were protesting the impending war. Here is a snippet from the speech: I know that even a successful wa... Continue »

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

by David Oatney on 6/26/2008 8:43:50 PM

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE Reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision today that the D.C. gun ban is unconstitutional. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are intent on censoring talk radio via the "Fairness Doctrine." President Bush makes the worst foreign policy decision of his presidency, and the ... Continue »

Where Do You Stand?

I'm not normally one to go out of my way to promote blog aggregators, but I want to take the time to encourage my readers to sign up for the aggregation and the unique services available at WhereIStand.com. I've been a member for over two years now, and blog aggregation isn't what makes Where I Stan... Continue »

The unFairness Doctrine

by David Oatney on 6/21/2008 11:24:21 AM

There seems to be no small movement among certain people on the Left to reinstate, as a matter of federal regulation, the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." The Fairness Doctrine was a regulation that was supposedly designed to insure that radio and television stations gave "equal time" to both sides of... Continue »

'Deference'

by Steve Benen on 9/7/2008 3:19:34 PM

'DEFERENCE'.... So, when might we see Sarah Palin talk to the media about, well, anything? According to Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, Palin won't tolerate an interview "until the point in time when she'll be treated with respect and deference."... Continue »

Palin to talk to ABC

by Steve Benen on 9/7/2008 3:19:34 PM

PALIN TO TALK TO ABC.... I expected them to drag this out a lot more, but a focus group probably told the McCain campaign it didn't look good to hide the vice presidential candidate. So, Charlie Gibson will get the... Continue »

Tiny coup d?état

by Beppe Grillo on 9/7/2008 2:41:00 PM

A blogger has told me about a change in the Criminal Code that abolishes the crime of ?coup d?état? . It happened two years ago, with the next to the last government of the psycho-dwarf. But no one noticed. I admit it, not even I did. Not even the newspapers and TV stations full of journalists and ... Continue »

The Fix continues to ease his way back into everyday life -- doing chores around the house, hitting the gym and reading the Sunday papers. One particular story -- written by New York Timesmen Jim Rutenberg and Adam Nagourney --... Continue »

Emphasis Check: Joe Biden WRONG Right on McCain's Loyalty to Bush

by Steven Clemons on 9/7/2008 12:21:49 PM

I really like Michael Dobbs. He's generally fair and balanced in sifting through truth and fantasy spun by candidates on all sides of any ticket. . .sort of a "just the facts, ma'am" kind of guy. Today in his "Fact Checker" column in the Washington Post, Dobbs goes after the top two on both presid... Continue »
