Big Hollywood : Politics Really is Downstream from Culture

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:00:40 +0000

You are so right. I visited 2 elderly aunts today. During each of the visits, I told 2 of my more humorous anecdotes. After reading your post, I realized I was actually story-telling to get specific messages across to both of them. These were not political in nature but I now see what you mean. I use story-telling all the time but never for POLITICS. For some reason, that has always been separate usually introduced by something like, "I promise this will be my only political message". And then the other person promptly falls asleep or shuts down. What an important post!

Big Journalism : Veterans Demand an Apology From Arizona Rep. Linda Lopez *UPDATED

Sun, 9 Jan 2011 23:58:13 +0000

What about Shepherd Smith and FoxNews' responsibility? I didn't hear the interview, but I did hear Shepherd Smith say that the shooter was thought to be an Afghan War Veteran. I nearly had a stroke. Then later when the information came out about the guy, my blood really began to boil. I remember seeing Sheppy and how careful he was the day he was reporting on Major Hassan. I called FoxNews and left a voicemail - 1st time in my life I've ever called a station - and I emailed them as well. I think FoxNews has to be held to account for this garbage. They are always willing to malign our military. Shepherd Smith is an absolute disgrace and should be made to apologize. I can't believe they just renewed his contract.

Big Hollywood : Hollywood's Top Asshat Comments, 2010

Sun, 2 Jan 2011 19:28:02 +0000

Oh, there are just too many to even count this year. I guess some of my favorites would be Rob Reiner calling the Tea Partiers Nazis, Tom Hanks saying we fought WW II because of racism and that racism is the reason we're fighting in wars today. Then there's all those Hollywood & media types who equated opposition to Obama's agenda with racism. And all the remarks made about the Tea Parties being knuckle-draggers. And all the anti-Palin hysteria. To tell you the truth, perhaps a better column might have been who WASN'T a Holllywood/Media asshat in 2010. That might have been a more difficult column to write.

KeithHennessey.com : Support the tax deal

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 06:40:08 +0000

The Wall Street Journal reports the bill has a price tag of $858 billion. Gee, that number sounds familiar. Oh, now I remember, it's darn near exactly the same amount of the porkulus. So let's see. We agree to another $1 Trillion in spending (and borrowing since we ain't got the dough) and we get....the status quo on our taxes. What a great deal - those Republicans are geniuses! And we also get ethanol subsidies, tax breaks for the TV & film industry and motorsports entertainment complexes, well they're just "fun" aren't they? Oh, and of course it wouldn't be a porkulus if it didn't contain several provisions for our perennial "natives", the Indians. Oh and I know neither Republicans nor Democrats would disagree that wool research is the seminal issue of our time, so of course that's in there too. Oh, and Puerto Rican rum. I can see the Republicans are all I hoped for and more. And all those hours I spent over the past 1 ½ years working tirelessly to get them elected was worth it if this tax deal is any indication of how they're going to govern. I just hope I can get a lot of that Puerto Rican rum to tide me over till the next election.

Big Journalism : Jake Tapper Going To Bat For Dems On Tax Cuts?

Thu, 9 Dec 2010 15:19:17 +0000

Yeah, you have to watch the Tapper. He pretends to be fair & hard-charging but his tweets reveal the real Jake. Someone else pointed out his tweets regarding the tax "cuts" and he was all class warfare about the subject. Never trust the MSM. Never.

"Peter is anxiously awaiting his trip back to California for the birth of his child." "The trip eventually leads them to a friend of Peter’s (who may or may not be the father of the child that Ethan is expecting in California)" Who exactly is expecting a child? Confusing review.

Is Big Journalism going leftist now too? Because when you start hearing praise for leftist hack's "chops" and complaints about old people on scooters and that nobody complained when Boooosh spent a lot of money, it sorta makes you wonder, no?

Thank you for saying that. This too long article lost me right there. Well actually it lost me when the author complments a left-wing hack and then again when the author thinks he's witty complaining about old people in scooters protesting like they have no right to protest Obamacare or anything else unless they are willing to give up their scooters and lie in the nursing home all day long. But I was a glutton for punishment and went on until the "nobody complained when Bush did it so you've lost all future rights to complain now matter what we do". But I certainly went no further.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:30:02 +0000

So much hubris, so few years. I must have missed the "Vote for Barack, He'll Socialize Medicine" commercials. And who are you accusing of voting that loser into office anyway? Have you checked the voting demographics of the 2008 elections? Who do you think the overwhelming majority of 23-year-olds voted for? How about you do a little growing up before you start lecturing us? Don't we get enough of that from Dear Leader, the candidate your generation carried over the finish line? Andrew, enough with the guest-blogging, get this guy back to the Huff-Po where he'll be welcomed like the hero he sees himself as.

Unsweetened-Tea : I’ve Been Bought by the Koch Brothers or The Change Purse That Changed My Life

Well, Lois I, it's looking good for you to win the prize. I'm going to wait 24 hours but so far, yours it the best comment. OK, it's the only comment, but why quibble? Now I'm not saying that I can send you The Change Purse/Key Ring That Changed My Life......but we'll just have to see, won't we? Gotta go, the professional organizer is due any minute. Actually she's late. Is that a good sign?

You have won "Comment of the Day". Nay, "Comment of the Year"! Perhaps "Comment of the Life of My Blog". I will wait a day or 2 for the other comments to flow in, then I will bestow the official Blog Award on you. Hopefully it will be the much treasured change purse/key ring combo but I daresn't give away the exact nature of the Blog Award at this point for fear it will take some of the Blog Anticipation out of the event. Stay tuned.

Big Journalism : MoDo, D'Souza and the Shame of the New York Times

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 04:08:16 +0000

What do mean the left denounced it? Ramesh Ponnuru, an editor at National Review, denounced Mr. D'Souza today on NRO saying he was ashamed of Mr. D'Souza as a fellow Indian (how's that for a nice rational argument, kinda makes MoDo sound sane, huh?. I digress). Oh wait, National Review.....never mind, you are correct sir, the left denounced it.

NewsReal Blog : Stewart and Colbert Announce Rallies: A True Moderate Gathering or a Leftist Assembly?

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 01:57:48 +0000

And I guess it's a pure coincidence that it's 2 days before the election? And I'm sure the Administration had no involvement in it either? It couldn't possibly be a cheap ploy to get the base feeling all warm & fuzzy right before the election so they'll get out & vote? Just because they have nothing to run on & every attempt to excite the base has fallen flat? Naaah. I'm sure you're right, I'm sure it's all about demonstrating for moderation.
