    Only winners get to vote on campaign finance reform. The losers have gone back home. The winners are the ones who profited from the current system...

    Here Is What Being A Quitter And A Loser Gets You

    … A multiyear contract deal with Fox News.  Bet John McCain is jealous.

    “I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News,” Palin said in a statement posted on the network’s Web site. “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”

    Fox said that according to the multiyear deal, Palin [...]



    Words of Wisdom from Helen

    Boston Tea Party

    Here are my thoughts – for what they are worth:

    Even if he got it for remembering to leave the seat down for Michelle and the girls,  Barack Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize is a good thing.   Don’t we want the United States to be seen as an instrument of peace in the world?  Erick Erickson probably had trouble spelling his own name in [...]



    Here Is A Bailout Plan That Makes Sense

    Newspapers are dead.  I mean the kind that get ink on your hands.  How do I know newspapers are dead?  Because I started reading newspapers when I was 9 years old.  I loved the NY Herald Tribune.   Unfortunately The Herald shut down a couple of years later and I was forced to become a New York Times reader which was much more dry and boring.  [...]



    Margaret and Helen is Right

    Margaret and Helen weigh in on the lack of  important news coverage in America.  Or put another way, these two wise souls discuss the copious amounts of drivel which parades as news spewed by huge corporations with agendas that are inimical to the best interests of our citizenry.

    Just to give you some perspective:

    1925 -  Ku Klux Klan – 35,000 KKK members marched on Washington
    1963 [...]



    Republicans Need to be Careful What They Say

    It is nice to see mainstream media calling out a Republican politician on the faux criticism of President Obama’s speech today to school children. David Sirota is quite outraged by this and the Van Jones fiasco as we all should be.

    The Wall Street Journal (a paper btw I stopped reading in the 1990’s because of its horrible coverage of [...]



    Nothing Better than a Dead Liberal

    It is amazing the power of TV to make people stupid especially with stooges like Glenn Beck around:

    And then again some people make up their own vitriol without anyone’s help:

    And with “newscasters” like this, is it any wonder people are confused?

    This Is The Way It Was And Is Not Today

    Frank Rich has an Op-Ed in the New York Times today worth a read about Cronkite and why he was so admired.  Today’s mainstream lapdog news people can learn from him:

    What matters about Cronkite is that he knew when to stop being reassuring Uncle Walter and to challenge those who betrayed his audience’s trust. He had the guts to confront not only those [...]



    Ode to Cronkite

    And That’s the Way It Was
