Big Journalism : Joan Walsh: Dissent Not Permitted At Salon?

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:44:06 +0000

Libs won't tolerate dissent. They not only tolerate, but actively encourage, descent into various places, most notably, hell.

Breitbart.tv : Santorum On Obama: 'What A Snob'

Better Pope than Dope. Only a dope would call algae a "plant-like substance". Only a dope would pronounce "corpsman" as "corpse-man".

Big Journalism : Democratic Underground Hides Occupy Assaults, Smears Brandon Darby

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:03:07 +0000

He spends time... Him and Andy also spend alot of time... I guess the difference here is that too many words between the subject and predicate caused a computational stack overflow. I won't even get into "alot".

Big Journalism : BREAKING: Olbermann Tweets 'No Occupy Rapes, No Cover-Up, No Apology, No Retraction'

As of now (7:25 PM, Pacific) Olbermann's three-hour-old tweet has been retweeted three times. Good work by all three of his loyal viewers.

Big Government : Sen. Sessions Calls Obama’s Budget ‘One of the Most Spectacular Fiscal Cover-Ups In American His

That three-card monte dealer is blowing at least two dog-whistles. See if you can spot them.

Big Journalism : MMfA Mocks Natural Family Planning as Though It Doesn't Exist

Apparently, high school biology is not a prerequisite to performing the Media Matters smug superiority shtick.

Big Journalism : Today's Media Rules: 'Tea Bagging,' 'Cracker' Okay On the Air, Soccer Tweets Forbidden Off

Thu, 9 Feb 2012 16:07:23 +0000

I'm afraid Roland is too well trained in the ways of P.C. to make the connection between his yelling DOG-WHISTLE! and others yelling DOG-WHISTLE! at him.

Big Journalism : 'Brian Williams Is Stupid Because He Is Dumb' Begs The Question

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:28:18 +0000

Begging the question of whether or not proposition P is true is asserting P⇒P (which is a tautology). Here, P is the proposition “Brian Williams is an ignoramus.” However, if Q is the proposition "Brian Williams does not know what begging the question means", then asserting Q⇒P is not begging the question.

Big Journalism : Establishment Apologists Join Progressives In Attacking The Tea Party

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:55:07 +0000

I am struck that the (Rep,Dem)-by-(tea party support,oppose) matrix 0.87 0.11 0.12 0.86 is almost perfectly symmetric. Each of the (Rep,Dem) answer and the (support, oppose) answer predicts the other with almost exactly the same precision.

Commentary Magazine : Another Iranian Scientist Assassinated

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:45:08 +0000

If the assassination was terrorism, it focused on a very select group of targets (terrorees): namely Iranian nuclear scientists.

vanden Heuvel's obviously going after the anti-free-market market niche of the publishing market. Ain't capitalism great?

Big Government : Occupy Wall Street = Obama '08 Supporters, Says 'Occupy the Iowa Caucuses' Leader

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:28:16 +0000

He [Goodner] had promised his fellow protestors that he would no longer be in the front of the cameras after his drug conviction, but as the Gingrich episode shows he didn’t keep his word.

Like University of Iowa Journo prof Stephen G. Bloom, Goodner seems to be suffering from the Iowa strain of the Podunk Invisibility Syndrome. He can't help it.

Big Hollywood : BREAKING: American Airlines Releases Statement: Alec Baldwin Rude to Crew, Used 'Offensive Language'

Wed, 7 Dec 2011 16:57:49 +0000

It's "Capital One", not "Capitol One" who pays Baldwin to hawk credit cards (for now).

Frontpage Magazine : Non-Muslim Muslims and the Jihad Against the West

Sat, 3 Dec 2011 18:24:35 +0000

I have never understood the tendency to respect a mass weltanschauung (such as organized religion) just because it calls itself a religion. Religion is just another way to rationalize mass evil. It has played that role time and again throughout history.

Big Journalism : Slate Runs Interference for Elizabeth Warren, Declares Rove Ad Sexist

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:30:39 +0000

Good of Slate to play spotter to direct Romney's artillery fire. They just signaled "hit".

Big Journalism : Is Media Matters Attacking 'Throw Them All Out' to Protect Soros and Other Donors Who Received Stimu

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 20:53:27 +0000

It is a form of legal corruption that a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, as Media Matters is, can keep its donors secret, as Media Matters does. It is particularly corrupt that its donors can write off contributions to Media Matters. So, yeah, I agree that Media Matters deserves its own chapter in your next edition, Mr. Schweizer.

Maharidge has exposed himself as a profoundly insecure, profoundly undisciplined egoist.

At least P. T. Barnum didn't bore (or is that boar?) his suckers to death.

That's tentacle, not tenacle. Here's the mother of all political tentacle metaphors.

Big Journalism : Watch Your Back, Joe: NBC's 'Today Show' Pushes Hillary to Replace Biden

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:09:41 +0000

A good rule of thumb is to watch NBC and MSNBC if you want to get an idea of what the White House wants and what they are thinking.

Reminds me of how the Soviets' dissembling during the Cold War forced western Kremlinologists to comb through the party newspaper Pravda for clues about the Soviets' true motives.
