Media lectures Republicans
I’m sorry, but I just love that picture and needed to write a post around it. The New York Times and the Washington Post feel the need to tell Republicans what they need to do to be successful in the next few years. That’s like me taking advice on how to expose phonies from Christopher […]
Washington Post: Want to help veterans? Stop pitying them.
Chief Tango sends us a link to an opinion piece in today’s Washington Post by Howard Schultz and Rajiv Chandrasekaran entitled “Want to help veterans? Stop pitying them” which is basically the same thing that we’ve been saying for a while. The press, politicians and even many veterans’ advocacy groups tend to focus, with legitimate […]
On the Absurdity of Being Earnest
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, speaking about the situation in Dallas: there “are screening procedures in place at our border.” Sure there are, Mr. Earnest – sure there are.

Geraldo pointed out to Bill that the optimal […]

“Well, who was the a**hole that did this?”
With the recent 40th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation in 1974 about a week ago, there have been a number of articles about Watergate in the media. That’s to be expected. Predictably, there have also been more “hit piece” articles about Nixon in the media recently – like this one from MSNBC. That’s also to be […]

Chief Tango sends us a link from USAToday entitled “Pentagon fueled Ferguson confrontation” an opinion piece by David Mastio and Kelsey Rupp. It’s subtitled “Department of Defense provided surplus military vehicles to local PD” the gist of the article is that the police in Ferguson have been armed by the Pentagon for their confrontation with […]
