Wouldn't you love to see...

2006-01-31T12:48:00.000-06:00

Wouldn’t you like to see Judge Alito and Chief Justice Roberts questioning the Democrat Senators to determine their qualifications for Public office?

The questions might go like this…………

Judge Alito (JA): “Senator Kennedy, I see from your official resume that you attended Harvard University…”

Senator Kennedy (SK): “Yes, your honor, I certainly did.”

JA: “Did you graduate?”

SK: “Your honor, I respectfully ask that you not pry into my personal life…”

JA: “Is it not true that you were expelled from Harvard for violating the honor code, to wit, you hired someone to take an exam for you?”

SK: “Mr. Chairman, I want to go on record that I disagree with this line of questioning. I ask the chair to order the Judge from asking questions about my private matters..”

Senator Specter, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee: “Answer the Judge’s questions. He answered all of yours..”

JA: “Senator Kennedy, we have on hand a transcript of the session of the university’s honor council attesting to your fraudulent examination and subsequent expulsion from the university…”

SK: “I have had all I can take of this line of unreasonable questioning. I am going to ask Al Gore how he managed to keep his early departure from Vanderbilt University Divinity School away from the eyes of you religious nuts…”

JA: “Wait, Senator Kennedy, I want to ask you about the 26 phone calls you made from a motel room the night Mary Jo Kopechne drowned in your car at Chappaquidik, when you said you were asleep all night…” [ Kennedy flees the hearing room ]

Senator Specter: “Chief Justice Roberts [CJR] will now interrogate Senator Biden [SB}, Democrat of Delaware…”

CJR: “Senator Biden, is it not true that you were expelled from law school for plagiarizing another student’s work?”

SB: “Wait, Ted, I am going with you…” [ Biden flees the hearing room ]

Senator Specter: “Judge Alito will now interrogate Senator Feinstein, Democrat of California…”

JA: “Senator Feinstein [SF], why did you vote for the former Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan of West Virginia [Robert Byrd] to be the Democrat Senate Majority Leader in 1986, 1988, 1990, and 1992?”

SF: “Wait, boys, I am going with you…” [Feinstein flees the hearing room ] [ end of hearing ]

Yes, I'm a lame blogger. I post every six months or so, whenever something strikes me. Maybe I'll do better in 2006, but there are already so darn many UberBloggers out there that I find it hard to write, since I enjoy reading so much.

Headline from the left view I

2006-01-27T09:30:00.000-06:00

GDP growth at weakest in three years

Q - What would the Yahoo/Reuters headline have been if there was a Dem in the Oval Office right now?

A - Amazing GDP growth continues for 16th straight quarter.

Ha!

Nope, no liberal media here Part II

2004-08-06T11:04:00.000-05:00

Hmmm, let's see. Which sentence comes first in this AP / Yahoo story?

The nation's payroll growth slowed dramatically in July with a paltry 32,000 jobs being added_ a potentially troubling sign that the rough patch the economy hit in June was no aberration.

or

The new jobless rate was the lowest since October 2001.

Nope, no liberal slant to this story either! Move along, nothing to see here.

Photoshoppers for Bush

2004-07-29T07:42:00.000-05:00

The blogosphere is replete with wonderful Photoshoppers. This one from Blogs for Bush is priceless.

One thing I've noticed is that the left wingers (that I stop by and visit) seem to like to make physical deformities on pictures (enlarging or pointing Bush's ears, making Cheney's mouth sinister) where the rightside bloggers just hang bunny ears on or past people into places.

I didn't see any of Obama's speech, but I read through some of the text and heard reaction on local talk radio. Bla bla bla, talk is cheap.

I'm voting a single issue this time, as usual. Whom do I think has a realistic probability of getting the federal government back down towards it's Constitutionally-mandated size, and who will cut my taxes more (or stop them from going up.) Don't give me the "the government is going broke" stuff. If we give it to them, they'll piss it away (most likely any party in power), if we don't give it to them, they'll piss it away (ditto). The only way to shrink the government and pay off the deficit is to freeze non-Constitutional federal budgets with the idea of sunsetting them over a fixed period.

Remember, while the Dems are slopping all over Teddy Kennedy and what wonderful work he's done in the Senate for America, July 26 would have been Mary Jo Kopechne's 64th birthday, had Teddy not left her to drown at the bottom of a canal (a tip of the hat to John Cole for the reminder.)

Once in a blue moon?

2004-07-25T08:51:00.000-05:00

Yes, this is a blue moon month, and the term blue moon has been traditionally used to indicate a rare event, such as the once-in-a-lifetime NYT, the old grey lady, coming clean about it's uber-liberal slant. Pinch me...

Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper?
By DANIEL OKRENT

Published: July 25, 2004

F course it is.

The fattest file on my hard drive is jammed with letters from the disappointed, the dismayed and the irate who find in this newspaper a liberal bias that infects not just political coverage but a range of issues from abortion to zoology to the appointment of an admitted Democrat to be its watchdog. (That would be me.) By contrast, readers who attack The Times from the left - and there are plenty - generally confine their complaints to the paper's coverage of electoral politics and foreign policy.

I'll get to the politics-and-policy issues this fall (I want to watch the campaign coverage before I conclude anything), but for now my concern is the flammable stuff that ignites the right. These are the social issues: gay rights, gun control, abortion and environmental regulation, among others. And if you think The Times plays it down the middle on any of them, you've been reading the paper with your eyes closed.

But if you're examining the paper's coverage of these subjects from a perspective that is neither urban nor Northeastern nor culturally seen-it-all; if you are among the groups The Times treats as strange objects to be examined on a laboratory slide (devout Catholics, gun owners, Orthodox Jews, Texans); if your value system wouldn't wear well on a composite New York Times journalist, then a walk through this paper can make you feel you're traveling in a strange and forbidding world.

Start with the editorial page, so thoroughly saturated in liberal theology that when it occasionally strays from that point of view the shocked yelps from the left overwhelm even the ceaseless rumble of disapproval from the right.

We wouldn't want to upset the poor hijackers!

2004-07-24T15:55:00.000-05:00

Well, cinch up your belt you nervous Nellies. The AP thinks that Bush is firmly in the lead. As of this moment. Maybe.

But if Kerry had made a 100 point electoral vote swing in 30 days or so, don't you think you'd see Dan Rather self-pleasuring himself right there on the six o'clock news? W gets some AP headlines on a Saturday. By Monday, I'll bet you'll not find a trace of it.

Poll Finds Kerry Locked in Tie in Race
By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

NANTUCKET, Mass. - John Kerry (news - web sites) is heading to his party's national convention with Democrats faring better with the public on both domestic and international issues, according to a poll released Wednesday. But Kerry remains locked in a tie in the presidential race.

Of course, no mention of either his opponent (the sitting POTUS) or the fact his 8-12 point bounce from Edwards has evaporated, not unlike the classified papers in Sandy Berger's Jockey shorts. When Bush was 8+ points up, the media was breathless in it's reporting that Kerry had caught up. Where's the parity?

If you say that Fox is biased towards the Republicans, I'd agree (although find the Greta or Colmes on CBS for me.) But even the most weakminded must admit the media has a leftward bias.

Opening shot in the war on ignorance

2004-07-20T09:30:00.000-05:00

Greetings to all. This blog is being created for the purpose of minimizing the inbox clogging discussion that WRI roped me in to, to allow two sides of differing political stripe to do their best to convince the others that they're nuts. Of course, I hold little hope, but we'll see if we can beat down the fescue of ignorance in one way or another.

Since I don't know much about Blogger, we'll hack our way through this
