The insufferable Cory Bergman over at Lost Remote whines: NBC’s The West Wing has dropped 30 percent in the ratings after the network moved it to Sunday night. I love the show — TiVo it religiously — but it’s a bad fit for Sunday night, especially when you consider ABC’s juggernaut (although you could argue Wednesday [...] Mel Stottlemyre on George Steinbrenner’s praise for the Angels management during their series: “I laughed when I saw it,” Stottlemyre said. “My first thoughts were, `What about Joe? Joe had done a hell of a job, too.’ To congratulate the other manager and not congratulate your own after what he’d done this year, I laughed.” What did [...] Sometimes I marvel at the stupidity of the mainstream morons. Witness, if you will, the sheer idiocy of this headline: NYC Commuters Head to Work Despite Threat I have to wonder… What the hell did the AP expect? Did they expect New Yorkers to skip work today en masse? Hell, I went to [...] Jingoism, Yay! Originally uploaded by Dan Dickinson. Flickr user Dan Dickinson is under the impression that wanting to kill terrorists is jingoism. I think that opinion sums up most of the left’s attitude toward fighting back against terrorism. Truth be told, it’s not all of them, but [...] You know, I think I finally have it. I have finally discovered what is wrong with the CUNY (City University of New York) system, and it’s been right under our noses the entire time. For years, educators, politicians, and students have been agonizing over what’s going wrong with the public university system in [...] Is the rolling up of the sleeves supposed to make people feel better? Reuters Photo If you listen to the talking heads around the blogosphere (and how the hell can you not; Most of them never shup up), Yahoo is the evil Satan of evil Satans. When they took over Flickr, you should’ve heard the proclamations from the Flickrati that it was going to be the end of [...] Let’s say you’re a 33-year-old immigrant (we don’t know if you’re illegal or not because it’s politically incorrect to say so) woman mother of two. Your foot gets run over by a bus. You have a low IQ. You work for $20,000 a year as a clerk in a convenience store. After your [...] I think in some ways, we have become somewhat complacent about our privacy and offer too much of it up without batting an eyelash. However, I also think some people have gone the exact polar opposite direction. Take for instance, this story out of Lawrence Kansas, where an email was sent to students who were [...] The medical marijuana debacle in the Supreme Court today has been discussed ad nauseum. But there was a particular part of the decision that jumped out at me like a 500 pound ape in an orange blazer. On page 28, Indeed, that the California exemptions will have a significant impact on both the supply [...] Why are courtroom sketches done on that beige paper and not plain white paper? Does it have something to do with the inherent difficulty of displaying a white page on a television camera? A grim toll of a dozen fatalities in just three days marks the rapid onset of this year’s season of death along the US-Mexican border. As temperatures suddenly soared in southern Arizona this past week, so did border-crossing deaths. Twelve border crossers were listed as dead in Arizona between last Friday and Monday. Border Patrol agents [...] NEWARK, N.J. — A public school prohibited a second grader from singing a religious song at a talent show, prompting a lawsuit Friday alleging violation of the girl’s constitutional rights. A federal judge declined an emergency request to compel Frenchtown Elementary School to allow 8-year-old Olivia Turton to sing “Awesome God” at the Friday night show, [...] Our National Motto? No good. Two lawyers (big shock there) have a problem with it being placed on a federal building: The words appear on every dollar bill and US coin. They are displayed at the entrance to the US Senate and above the Speaker’s chair in the House. But when local officials in North [...] Lost Remote, as usual, will take any side of an argument that is counter to the President. Lost Remote is supposed to be a site that reports on the media and trends in the news media and the television / cable industry. It’s mostly good, but there’s a palpable hatred for anything conservative [...] MarketWatch SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The New York Times Co. on Monday said that, starting in September, access to Op-Ed and certain of its top news columnists on the paper’s NYTimes.com Web site will only be available [...] It hasn’t been long since I went to elementary school. I’m 29 years old, and yet I remember it like it was yesterday. The teacher’s union (in this case the UFT, headed by Randy Weingarten (who I consider a poison that all teachers are just all-too-willing to drink from) has a pet gripe [...] It amazes me. Everyone puts their hands out to the US for money. Everyone. They all want a piece of the evil great Satan’s cash. But when the US only gives it conditionally, panties are riled all about. Witnesseth Brazil (king of South American transsexuals and prostitutes) wetting their collective panties over the Bush [...] It’s starting to get a little ridiculous out there, folks… A father who protested a pro-homosexual book his 6-year-old son had been given in school spent a night in jail after being arrested by police. David Parker, 42, confronted officials at Joseph Estabrook School in Lexington, Mass., Wednesday after his son brought home a copy of “Who’s [...] CBS’ 6.1 million average nightly viewers last week was its lowest total since record-keeping started in 1987. [...] Low ratings for “Evening News” are a setback for CBS, which had received plenty of critical acclaim for the Schieffer-led broadcast. Schieffer scored a notable scoop on the Minnesota school shooting story in his first week on the air, [...] |
