America Deserves Truth About “Tea Parties”
Tea Party leader Mark Williams was on CNN on September 14, 2009. He is nuts and anyone who follows him is nuts too.
Anderson Cooper hosts a respectable program with balanced perspective. His regular guests include Reagan insider David Gergen and Clinton insider James Carville. Here is an excerpt from the interview with Mark Williams:
Anderson Cooper [...]

OJ Defines the Media, Media Defines OJ
OJ Simpson is in the news again – a regular for the past forty years. Ironically – OJ’s celebrity status was a product of the media – but the media was defined in many ways by the celebrity of OJ.
The excitement OJ generated on the football field directly contributed to the excitement of televised sports. [...]
Palin as Paris Hilton Celebrity
Sarah Palin is continuing to drag down the Republican Party. The other Republican Governors know this – but they cannot openly say so. When Palin talks she sounds less oriented than a wild and crazy Paris HIlton. At least Paris HIlton knows she is just a celebrity – she knows she is not taken seriously. [...]

CNN’s Hologram – Cool Techonology
Well, this about takes the cake. Technology is advancing rapidy – but look at this – you still have to read these words. That is about as old as Abraham. The differencs is that we have people from Hobart, Australia, reading this commentary. They might be rednecks but they are able to use the internet.

The Marines in Iraq
What is it about Marines that make them so special? When called upon to serve they do not ask why – they merely pack their bags and go. They do what is asked of them. They believe in their hearts that their missions are honorable – that they are in the service of America. How [...]

“Take a Listen to this”
The mainstream media is driving me nuts. People who work in journalism, even bloggers, have some duty to try to use proper grammar. I make mistakes – because I am not an authority on proper English. Was I supposed to capitalize English? The point is that I try to ask myself questions of propriety.
I surf [...]
Clinton, Obama Debate in Austin 2-21-08
This will be a running commentary: Beginning at 7:00 PM CST.
The debate is on with Hillary Clinton making the first opening remarks. Senator Clinton does not have Obama’s speaking style – but she always strikes me as charming and sincere. Senator Clinton put on a face of confidence.
Senator Obama chose to speak second, beginning with [...]
The Legacy of Bill Clinton is Hillary Clinton
Son,
The unintended consequence of Bill Clinton’s life was in lending his charm, charisma, and personality to the very intellectual Hillary Rodham. Hillary will ultimately be the central legacy of the Presidency of Bill Clinton.
Thank you Bill Clinton.
Dad

Clinton Obama Hug after debate
Son,
It was quite a debate. We have come to understand debate to mean confrontation and animosity. There was little if any of that last evening when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton sat together to answer questions by Wolf Blitzer. Actually, the atmosphere was so cordial that one might have thought these two had already agreed [...]
Obama – Clinton, Democratic Debate analysis by ORT
Son,
This is a very good year in American politics. Senator’s Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been debating for a couple of hours. They have been cordial. They have talked about a variety of issues, and they have talked with clarity and detail.
The best observation of the night is that these two agree in principle [...]
Obama – Clinton, Democratic Debate, 1-31-08, II
Son,
The debate continues.
To Obama: why are you qualified? Obama recounts his entire resume, “I have found that the leadership that is needed is someone who can bring people together… I respect Senator Clinton’s record but I believe that the skills that I have are the right skill that are needed right now…”
To Clinton, “I would [...]
Clinton-Obama, Democratic Debate, 1-31-08
Son,
For the first time ever we are watching a woman and an African-American debate for the nomination of their party for President of the United States. Wolf Blitzer has just introduced the candidates. There is a couple of minutes of photo-ops. The stakes are very high – with only five days to the Super Tuesday [...]
Republican Debate, 1-29-08
Son,
The Republican debate is on CNN tonight. It is being hosted by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. John McCain, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Mike Huckabee are participating. I missed a few minutes because of a black tie affair that I could not get out of.
The question is what about 100 year involvement in Iraq.
Ron [...]
Democrats on speaking English as official language
Son,
I am happy that these folks take these issues seriously. Sometimes they sound like they are spinning the issue in their favor - but I believe that they are not. They are pointing out the necessary complications of making rash political decisions. Wolf Blitzer asked the question because he knows it is a hot button [...]
Trash Talk – the elixir of life
Son,
Trash talk is the elixir of life, the stimulus of humanity, the foreplay of debate, a ceremonial dance before the big event. Trash Talk is the spirit of politics, sports, scientific innovation, and even religion. Minus Trash Talk, nothing is left.
Did you ever notice two boxers at their weigh-in. One might think it was a [...]
Chris Matthews on Morning Joe
Son,
Chris Matthews has lost complete touch with reality. Matthews is the host of the MSNBC program Hardball. They call it Hardball because Matthews is supposed to be asking the hard questions. That was probably true – a couple of years ago.
On Morning Joe this morning, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, Joe and Matthews were talking about the [...]
Media Hosts fail as Celebrities
Son,
A tragedy has befallen American Journalism. Cable and satellite feeds have created monster celebrities in the field of journalism. Everyone wants to be Walter Cronkite. The problem is that hey have not earned the stature.
Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, Bill O’Reilly, Shawn Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, to name a few. These people have differing views [...]
