No means no
What part of “no” didn’t they understand? For weeks Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) had been saying “no” when asked if he’d run for president. And the media kept interpreting it as “maybe,” “possibly,” and “I might.” (So glad I never dated one of those guys.) Then finally, Christie called a press conference for a big … Continue reading
Whee! A Democratic ‘debate’ tonight
Tonight on MSNBC, “The Great Democratic Debate.” Oh puh-LEEZE. It’s not a “debate” when a bunch of Democrats sit around and discuss the best approach for Pres. Obama to take in his re-election campaign. Should he lean hard left and curry favor with his base? Or should he stay moderate and appeal to the middle, … Continue reading
Goodbye, Andy Rooney
Andy Rooney has announced he is stepping down from regular appearances on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” I’m relieved. He seems a nice enough guy, but I was beyond tired of his curmudgeonly observations at the end of each week’s show. I hope before I do something similar, someone who loves me will take me gently by … Continue reading
AARP hatin’ on shrimp treadmills
Recently the AARP has been running an ad warning seniors that there are plans afoot to cut Medicare “and even Social Security” benefits. It’s a misleading message at the very least and just one more reason I decided not to renew my membership this year. The 30-second spot criticizes certain federally funded projects such as … Continue reading
Ditzy blonde on Fox News
Dana Perino today on Fox News: “Why do we allow him (Iranian Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) to come here anyway? I’m so over him.” This woman was a White House press secretary and she doesn’t know the U.N. is considered international territory? It isn’t “we” who allow Ahmadinejad to come, but the U.N.
GOP debate tonight adds Gary Johnson
Tonight at 9 pm ET, Fox News will host a debate for the 2012 Republican presidential candidates in Orlando, Fla. Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson will join the previous eight participants, guaranteeing an even more crowded stage and more overlooked answers from all the candidates. Johnson’s inclusion/exclusion from the debates has been controversial.
Cafferty and me — we’ve got a thing goin’ on
On CNN today, Jack Cafferty’s question of the hour: “Rick Perry says he can’t be bought for $5,000. How much will this comment haunt him?” My response: “I’ll give him $5,001 to drop out of the race.” Jack liked it. He read it on the air as his closing remark.
Public reacts to Fort Collins school flag incident
Someone hung an American flag in a Fort Collins, Colo., elementary school, someone took a picture showing the Saudi Arabian flag hanging higher than the American flag, and someone posted it on an anonymous blog, GreeleyReport.com. Now it seems a lot of people are angry, shocked, and outraged about it. They’ve flocked to the website … Continue reading
MDA telethon airs without Jerry Lewis
Apparently a lot of people are aghast that Jerry Lewis wasn’t hosting this year’s Muscular Dystrophy Labor Day telethon. There are claims Lewis was forced out suddenly because of something he said recently and speculation that he was hesitant or evasive in explaining his departure. Conspiracy theories abound. People are outraged. I don’t get it. … Continue reading
Whatever Sarah wants, Sarah (still) gets
I was enjoying my morning coffee, still in that comfy half-awake, pre-caffeinated state, easing into my day, sort of watching CNN because it’s a totally passive endeavor. And suddenly there was Sarah Palin’s shrill, irritating, clueless voice cutting through it all like a jagged knife. There she was filling my screen. And it wasn’t a … Continue reading
Fox contributor pans ‘princess’ shirts for girls
Sandy Rios, a Fox News contributor, talked at length this morning about parents sending the wrong message to their daughters by buying them T-shirts saying “princess,” “beautiful,” or “pretty.” Bad, bad, bad she said. We should be addressing their character. We should buy them shirts saying “Dogs are wonderful,” etc. Apparently these evil T-shirts (and … Continue reading
Reporter gives update covered in ‘sea foam’
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time, and certainly the funniest to come out of the Hurricane Irene coverage. The reporter is getting covered in blowing sea foam, which most of us know by now was full of raw sewage. Hence the foam. In my book, this goes far beyond reporters … Continue reading
My politically incorrect stance on 9/11
The TV promos have started. The special programs have started. The tenth anniversary of 9/11 is almost here and it’s clear we are going to be swamped with special observances, special programs, special coverage. Everything imaginable to observe and commemorate the date. To remember every painful detail and death. Well, I won’t be watching. I’ll … Continue reading
Thoughts on Irene
I’ve had the TV on all day, tuned to CNN, watching the news and worrying about everyone on the East Coast. Specifically, I worry about those few individuals I know there. I keep reminding myself that these folks will undoubtedly be listening to their local officials, not CNN news hounds, and will have the best, … Continue reading
