Our chances of getting a comment through the NY Times comment censorship police, and any Maureen Dowd column, are probably about as good as the Oakland Raiders chances of winning the Super Bowl so long as Tom Cable (bless his passion though), is head coach.
There are a few reasons for this, that seem transparent, and [...]

The Observation that Was too Scathing for Maureen Dowd to Handle
Posted: 10th February 2010 by admin in Big Brother, Constitution, Famous People, Media, UncategorizedTags: Citizens United, Citizens United v FEC, Citizens United V. Federal Election Comission, Constitution, entertainment, Maureen Dowd, NY Times, President Obama, teleprompter
This humble, and somewhat obscure blog, if known, might not always be a favorite of Maureen Dowd’s. Here’s a very recent, but we think fair, example.
Today, Dowd wrote a column in the NY Times very space limited op ed pages, essentially saying that 3d movies are cool, or might be cool, or that people [...]
Worth Repeating — Palin’s Expertise

Some lines worth considering:
Talking head and blogger Sarah Palin spoke out on Fox News saying that Alito’s “Wilson moment” was OK, and that Justice Alito was just “calling him out.” She based her careful judgment on her longstanding and intimate knowledge of Supreme Court protocol. Oh, wait.
In other deep layer of Palin analysis, she went [...]
Abraham Lincoln, and Raging Freedom Boners

As their presence would risk giving Lincoln a raging freedom boner. Who dares awaken the great Emancipenis
Seriously (see minute 2:00), who is this guy?
Oh, that’s right. He’s the guy who the liberal Leaning American Prospect blog expected would “school” constitutional scholar and Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo, on a subject on which Yoo wrote the [...]
A Michael Moore Dilemma
Posted: 3rd October 2009 by admin in Famous People, Knowledge, Media, Media Slant, Political BS, Political Communication, Political StrategyTags: " "Democrats, "Far Right, AOL, Left, Media, Media Slant, Michael Moore
This is a Michael Moore Dilemma, and it is one that is created by the far right, and somewhat lopsidedly, played into by the media.
Full Disclosure: We are not fans of Michael Moore. Some on the left may likely get angry with that statement, and dismiss what we are trying to do (somewhat comically, since there [...]
The Enormity of the ACORN Scandal, in Perspective

The far right has been constantly complaining about how the “media” has not covered the latest Acorn scandal enough. That is, the fact that the already scandal plagued poverty assistance organization had some random employees caught on film giving rather nefarious business advice to 2 undercover operatives, posing as pimp and prostitute. (The most damning [...]
