insignificant thoughts

You would think she would’ve learned after giving the same “all of them” answer when Katie Couric asked her what magazines and newspapers she read. I did notice, however, that she managed to get the word “die-versity” in there a few times. Very important, and very politician-like.

And she’s an analyst.

On the number one [...]

Today you’ll hear a lot about World AIDS Day. In fact, you probably have already heard it about a thousand times. Everyone will be breaking out their red stuff to show support and solidarity, and there will be numerous reports trying to relate AIDS back to you, the average everyday American.

You’ll hear lots [...]

Hey Larry… How many times does she have to say she can’t discuss it? MOVE ON you doddering old dope.

Update: Is Donald Trump a moron?

“‘Inappropriate’ is more of a sexual term, as far as I’m concerned. I mean — inappropriate? He asked a very, very easy question and I was surprised that she [...]

From WND:

President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was “controlled,” White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference.

“Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control,” said Dunn.

“One [...]

Why should people even attempt to read bills? They’re too stupid to understand them anyway!

That’s not me talking; that’s the AP.

WASHINGTON – Read the bill! It was a rallying cry at angry health care town halls this summer and has evolved into something of a political movement. Many Americans are demanding that lawmakers actually [...]

Red Eye averaged 432,000 total viewers and 202,000 in the demo. Let’s deal with the demo first – CNN’s 8pmET show, hosted by Campbell Brown, averaged 191,000 in the demo. Let’s just let that one sink in – Fox News had more people in the all important A25-54 demographic watching their channel at three in [...]

Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi, after having a nice sucky face with President Obama and Harry Reid stood on the White House lawn and told reporters that Republicans need to do more than just shoot down proposals, and if they want to be constructive and put a new health care plan on the table, they should do [...]

Whenever I see people talking about Larry King as if he’s some great god of broadcasting, I just chuckle. The man has never given a good interview in his entire career, never gets anything of value out of his guests, and almost always asks some kind of clueless idiot question.

Two nights ago, he spoke [...]

Okay, this is too funny. So Don Lemon, the same idiot who called Michael Jackson a civil rights leader, and dismissed all criticism of him as “elitist” had a chance to shill for another one of his favorites, President Obama. In talking about Ghana and President Obama’s visit, Don Lemon really wanted the [...]

The New York Times has noticed a problem. In the poorest minority sections of New York City, foreclosures are highest. The Times opens their story with the usual dramatic breathlessness:

Turn the corner on 145th Street in Jamaica, Queens, and it is as though a cyclone has wheeled through.

One resident, Lakisha Brown, a hospital [...]

The New York Times is nothing if not consistent, and in this case it means consistently in the corner, two steps behind the President they helped elect by spiking any story that might portray him as anything but the greatest human being to walk the earth since Jesus Christ himself.

Many people outside of the mainstream [...]

The Washington Post writers who wrote this story are morons and here’s why.

They don’t actually understand what a flip flop really is. Here’s their definition:

While flip-flopping — or, more delicately put, a change in position — has always been a part of political campaigns, President Bush turned it into a deadly political weapon in [...]

I’m starting to see a pattern here. Politicians seem to realize that in order to score some cheap brownie points with the public at large, all they have to do is take a crap on radio hosts…

In the wake of the slayings of 32 people by student Seung-Hui Cho, who also took his own [...]

Okay, this one is a damn classic. Paul Kapustka from GigaOM seems to have caught the WSJ red-handed in a bit of shadiness. On Friday, Vonage ran an ad slamming Verizon in its patent case. The ad, according to Kapustka, had what looked like a sharpie line through it. Closer examination [...]

From the NY Times:

CBS Radio suspended two hosts from an FM station in New York City today after an Asian-American advocacy organization complained about the broadcast of a six-minute prank phone call to a Chinese restaurant that was peppered with ethnic and sexual slurs.

The call was first played on “The Dog House With JV and [...]

It’s nice to see the NY Post isn’t letting things like news get in the way of trashy tabloidism…

Not satisfied with being effectively removed from the public eye after the firing of Don Imus, Al Sharpton announced that some people were sending in death threats to his office. Apparently the average Joe doesn’t like race-baiting pieces of garbage…

NEW YORK WCBSTV.com learned early Saturday that the National Action Network has increased the Rev. [...]

Ed Felten posted an interesting bit from Viacom’s complaint against YouTube.

In addition, YouTube is deliberately interfering with copyright owners’ ability to find infringing videos even after they are added to YouTube’s library. YouTube offers a feature that allows users to designate “friends” who are the only persons allowed to see videos they upload, preventing copyright [...]

Paul Gillin summarizes Dan Rather at SXSW thusly:

Rather said that journalism needs a “spine transplant,” a return to its role as an independent advocacy for truth and disclosure. The role of the journalist is as a watchdog, he said. A watchdog barks when it suspects danger but doesn’t lie down or attack. It’s a warning [...]

Allahpundit makes a great point and proves what an idiot Terry Moran actually is. The first line is from Terry Moran’s idiotic “rant” about what it means to be white, he being an authority on whiteness of course, and then Allahpundit takes out the trash in the next sentence.

So the Giuliani candidacy might tell [...]
