The Latest In The War On The War On Christmas
Bill O’Reilly: "In Plano, Texas, a school told students they couldn’t wear red and green because they are Christmas colors. That’s flat-out fascism. If I were a student in Plano, I’d be a walking Christmas tree after that order. Talking Points understands that you know what is going on here." Plano District Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Bill Otto: "The school … Read More
Place Yer Bets!
Mike Wallace ("60 Minutes") gave an interview with the Boston Globe, which appeared online today, including this: Q. President George W. Bush has declined to be interviewed by you. What would you ask him if you had the chance? A. What in the world prepared you to be the commander in chief of the largest superpower in the world? In … Read More
O’Reilly Takes On The Daily Show
Yes, yes, I know. The "War on Christmas" is in danger of being overdone here. But just when I think it has reached the pinnacle of silliness, along comes the next wave of sheer lunacy. And you know that Bill O’Reilly is riding that wave. As Brad Blog and Media Matters have pointed out, Corporal O’Reilly has launched his latest … Read More
Fox News Hates Christmas
The News Corporation is Fox News’ corporate parent. And as we know, Fox News employs Bill O’Reilly, currently fighting against the "War on Christmas", and John Gibson (author of the book "The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought"). And Fox News itself is hitting the "War on Christmas" … Read More
Easy Question

The suit alleges that Tenet and other CIA officials violated U.S. and human rights laws … Read More
Brian Williams: Bush Administration Has a “Right” To “Buy” News
Well, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams just went down several pegs in my book: Appearing on the December 4 edition of CNN’s Reliable Sources, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams told host Howard Kurtz that the Bush administration has "the right" to pay a columnist to tout its views in his column. Williams also condoned the "politiciz[ation]" of programming … Read More
Bill O’Reilly Takes Credit For Low Gas Prices
Sweet Jesus, what a pompous blowhole. From a Fox News interview with Neil Cavuto, via Think Progress: O’REILLY: I have guys inside the five major oil companies – my father used to work for one of those oil companies by the way – who have told me that in those meetings they look for every way to jack up oil … Read More
Kayes Expresses Herself
Our favorite wingnut columnist, Kaye Grogan, has a new column up. It’s called "Freedom of speech and expression . . . most abused rights" The title alone suggests that Kaye is having trouble with verbs this week, as she prefers to use ellipses. Still, we forge on: Freedom of speech is perhaps one of the most abused freedoms we have. … Read More
Knee Jerk Punditry – A Comedy In Three Acts
ACT ONE (The Setup): Prominent Democrat Joseph Biden writes an op-ed in the Washington Post suggesting a broad outline for withdrawal of troops from Iraq: "Over the next six months, we must forge a sustainable political compromise between Iraqi factions, strengthen the Iraqi government and bolster reconstruction efforts, and accelerate the training of Iraqi forces." ACT TWO (The Knee-Jerk Reaction): … Read More
That Word Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means
Redstate asks a stupid question — well, two of them. When the history of the decision to go to war in Iraq is written, there’s one fact that I have to believe will get more attention than it does today: the fact that Saddam Hussein hired terrorists to murder George H.W. Bush…. Put yourself in Bush’s shoes: if you were … Read More
K-mas
Our dear Kaye Grogan is upset again in "Bah, Humbug . . . Retailers!": The anti-Christmas groups are gearing up again to oppose the display of nativity scenes in public and the singing of Christmas Carols. Oh, I guess that’s me she’s refering to. Um . . . vrrroom, vrooom. And not to be outdone — there are several retailers … Read More
Michelle Becoming Unhinged
Looks like our local radio station asked a question that stuck in Michelle’s craw. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. But then again, methinks that protesting too much is the lady’s raison d’etre. And she’s still whining about the fact that, over six months ago, an anonymous commentator (who could be a 12 year old for all we know) … Read More
An Open Letter To Michelle Malkin
Dear Michelle: I understand that you are going around doing a book tour to promote your book about how "unhinged" liberals are. Good for you, girl. You keep plugging away. Don’t be discouraged by the fact that your book (currently ranked #136 at Amazon) has consistently been outsold by Al Franken’s book (currently ranked #26 at Amazon), even though they … Read More
Dumb Question
Captain’s Quarters asks: When will Democrats get through their head that our military comes under civilian control? This isn’t Starship Troopers, where only veterans make decisions on war and peace, and most Americans wouldn’t want to live in that kind of society. All due respect to Murtha’s Viet Nam service, but being an enlisted man in Viet Nam doesn’t make … Read More
