Glen Beck is the Disease in America
Glen Beck has topped himself. He somehow has managed to equate evolution with progressive politics. His comparison of revolution to evolution is totally insane – but the real fear is the platform given to him by the ‘conservative movement’ in America. These folks think they are carrying out Ronald Reagan’s vision – [...]

Huckabee with Michelle Obama
Governor Mike Huckabee is a real gentleman – too bad he is also a wacky fundamentalist Christian and works with the yellow journalists at FOX News. His interview with the First Lady was enduring. It seems Huckabee understands that Michell Obama is the First Lady – she is not the President. Huckabee correctly follows a [...]

Steven Colbert, FOX, and Global Warming
It is February – in North America. It is snowing, and the temperature hovers around freezing. In two months it will be April, the average daily temperature will hover around 55-60 degrees. What can this possibly mean? Can this mean that North America’s climate is seasonal – or does this mean the global weather is [...]

Media Matters Challenges FOX News
We have nothing to add to the Media Matters issue of the right wing fanatical presentation of current events – other than to agree completely.

The Staying Power of Hannah Montana – and Miley Cyrus
I have written before that I know more about 1521 C.E. Europe than I do about pop culture in America today. But this magazine of ours has prompted me to look around. I even wrote a post on Lindsay Lohan. Hannah Montana’s name came up recently because she was selling out a concert in Kansas [...]

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. [...]
Economic Speculating
Most of us admit that we do not understand the current economic crisis. But there are some simple principles at work. Everyone who has run a household for ten years understands clearly that they cannot sustain living on credit cards.
The key word in setting policy, or planning a budget, is ’sustainable.’ Can the policy or [...]
Detroit Bailout – an Ethical Conundrum
This writer has often defined self as being an economic conservative and a social liberal. Normally there is not much conflict in that ideology. I will help my neighbor as long as I don’t have to borrow money in the endeavor. I will not enable my neighbor to continue poor behavior by bailing him out [...]

The Moose Stops Here
By FRANK RICH
Published: November 16, 2008
ELECTION junkies in acute withdrawal need suffer no longer. Though the exciting Obama-McCain race is over, the cockfight among the losers has only just begun. The conservative crackup may be ugly, but as entertainment, it’s two thumbs up!
Over at Fox News, Greta Van Susteren has been trashing the credibility of [...]
Palin didn’t know Africa’s a continent
President-Elect Obama is busy putting together a smooth transition. John McCain reports he is ready to get back to work in the Senate. And Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has gone home to Alaska – some say to prepare for 2012. Like everyone else, this writer was shocked at Palin’s seeming lack of knowledge and lack [...]

Fox News – Bush’s Last Lap
Fox News has become the embarrassment of professional journalism. Ranking beneath bloggers in factual reporting and fair commentary, the only success of Fox has been to lower the bar of media expectations.
Fortunately for all Americans, we can depend on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Intelligent reporting that is clearly unbiased may seem boring on [...]
“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 [...]
Lynching O’Reilly by Olberman
Son,
Bill O’Reilly stepped across the line – The line of decency that most of us outside of FOX News lives by. Lynching was a horrific practice of murder and intimidation to demonstrate to other African-Americans that they have no power – that we have all the power.
O’Reilly used several phrases, ‘lynching,’ ‘tracking down,’ are terms [...]
Romney slams Bob Dole
Son,
Mitt Romney is not a very good politician. He has a lot of money and he is intelligent and he is good looking and he was a Governor – but he is not a very good politician.
Bob Dole wrote a letter to Rush Limbaugh to ask him to ease up on John McCain. Considering that [...]
Bill Moyers, Rupert Murdock, PBS
Son,
I am a big fan of Bill Moyers. He is that long time respected journalist that now works exclusively for PBS, Bill Moyers brings intellect, poise, and dignity to journalism. Over the years Moyers has introduced me to such influential people as Joseph Campbell and Robert Bly. I respect him a great deal – and [...]
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 [...]
