Eric Boehlert, the partisan flack
For those of you who missed Sparky’s link in the comments, here’s the Twitter shot of Eric Boehlert’s remark about the folks of Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund’s video they sent us yesterday; Get that? They don’t have the “guts”. Well, here are the tweets dear Eric has sent today; See anything critical of the […]
The MSM: It’s Hard to Be “Green”
The Mainstream Media (MSM) – geez, you just gotta love that commitment to the environment! Reporting is hard work. It sometimes means you have to do some leg work and fact checking – like background research, follow-ups, calling people, and (gulp!) sometimes even go somewhere and interview sources. But all of that takes time. And […]
More Predictable Sensationalism from the Media

That shooting in Colorado
I’m sure you’ve already read or heard about the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado last night at a showing of the movie “The Dark Knight”. I’m hearing that 15 are dead and 50 others are injured. But, as tragic as it is, the media, and especially Fox News, have made me not care about it […]
The post in which I end my feud with Rick Maze
