For the last week or so, there have been no shortage of leftie blogs (examples here) complaining about how Obama supposedly hasn’t been throwing “any bones” to the “progressive movement” in terms of his cabinet/admin staff picks. While I’d disagree with that assessment, I’d just like to remind the left to remain calm, and remember [...]

Meanwhile, back at the UN

If you’re like me, one of the things you enjoyed most about last night’s 24 movie was how it accurately portrayed the UN as inept, selfish, and worthless – especially in times of crises. The only thing they got wrong was in their portrayal of the UN was the claim by the UN worker that [...]

After 12 years, Sean Hannity’s worse half has decided to leave the show, effective at the end of the year. He’ll still have his Fox radio show, though, and be a regular contributor to the network. No word yet on whether or not he’ll be replaced with another lefty, although rumor has it that Fox [...]

This time, Citigroup will be the recipient of billlions in federal bailout dollars. The total number of dollars pledged so far to help “struggling” industries? Bloomberg calculates somewhere in the neighborhood of $7.4 trillion. Will TV networks be next? Heck, while we’re on the subject, where the hell’s my bailout? I’m sure as heck not [...]

 

My nominee for “best torture music”

Michelle Malkin blogs this morning about a judge in Fort Lupton, CO who lately has been sentencing noise ordinance violators to an hour of listening to Barry Manilow songs, Barney The Dinosaur, and The Platter’s “Only You.” Apparently in that small town, it’s working. Malkin also asks for nominees for “best torture music.” My nominee [...]

Posted by: ST on November 23, 2008 at 12:44 pm » 4 Comments

The 8-2 Panthers take on division rival Atlanta (6-4) today on the Falcons’ home turf. The Cats won the first battle with the Falcons earlier this season 24-9, so the Falcs will be looking for revenge, as well as to gain some traction within the division. Game time is 4 pm ET and it will [...]

 

The return of the “flag-waving liberal”?

Posted by: ST on November 23, 2008 at 12:10 pm » 9 Comments

Taking a cue from Chris Matthews’ admission that it was his “job” to help the incoming administration succeed, for the third week in a row (read about the prior two here) The Charlotte Observer published another special piece on Obama’s election, this time in the “Big Picture” section – and the specific subject matter was [...]
