Anyone who has watched MSNBC this year probably has noticed a bias towards Obama. It probably has helped Obama get the nomination. Maybe as much as Hillary’s shrill voice and Bill’s complete incompetence.
But now, MSNBC is fighting about it, amongst themselves.
OK, I’m sick of the bias. I’ve seen CNN with “The Obama Love Story”. ABC with their morning crew practically in heat talking to Obama. Oprah talking to Obama. MSNBC newswomen literally giggling like schoolgirls when Obama appears shirtless at the beach.
Why can’t we have some vetting of the candidate? Why can’t they discuss the Wright situation? Why can’t someone fact check Obama’s claim that he never attended a controversial sermon? Why can’t they investigate Obama’s claim that he didn’t associate personally with the unrepentant member of the Weather Underground (even though Obama has been to his house)? Why can’t they investigate the experience of Obama? Or his voting record? Freedom of the press is something that we’ve all be bred to believe in, but who are they beholden to? Where are their checks and balances? Freedom of the press is worth diddly if the press is in the pocket of someone or some cause….

An ABC news crew was arrested while trying to video Democrat Senators and “VIP” people leaving a luncheon.
Since ABC leans to the left, it makes me wonder what the dems were trying to hide. Maybe contributions from and affiliations with groups that they don’t want to be public knowledge?

… and neither is this woman. I know some of the regular readers of this blog will disagree with me on this, but I feel strongly about this subject.
She is no threat physically. No matter what verbally led to this exchange, it did not warrant the violent response of this larger, stronger, male, police officer (although I am not sure he earns the title police officer). It is called bullying and police brutality. I don’t agree with what she is protesting, but 100% condemn the actions of this police officer. He should be severely disciplined.
Those that know me understand that I am moderate leaning towards the right. Significantly to the right on some issues. However I support the right to protest. I support police, but not a police state, nor abuse of power by police officers. If she was violating a law she should have been arrested. If he could not do it peacefully without emotion, he should not be a police officer.

News and sports commentators are taught never to allow for dead time while on a live broadcast. Consequently they develop the “talking head ” syndrome which takes on a life of its own and whenever the the brain slows down for some reason…. the mouth keeps on going.
Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the 2008 Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
- Weight-lifting commentator: ‘This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.’
- Dressage commentator: ‘This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.’
- Paul Hamm, Gymnast: ‘I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.’
- Boxing Analyst: ‘Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.’
- Softball announcer: ‘If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.’
- Basketball analyst: ‘He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.’
- At the rowing medal ceremony: ‘Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.’
- Soccer commentator: ‘Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.’
- Tennis commentator: ‘One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them… Oh my God, what have I just said?’

Its a plane, its a bird… no, its…
See that big white blimplike thing with a black data box hovering over eastern Black Forest?
No, it’s not spying on the Democrats in Denver.
Humm spying on DNC.. could not be for intelligence (since surely there is lack of that up there with Bill Clinton, Biden & Obama up there).

Michelle Malkin attacked by nutcase Alex Jones..
In another video he is condemning other protest groups for saying they are peaceful, but they are violent. He says people cannot protest because they are threatened, and he goes on.
This same nut-job hit a guy with his shoulder and went on about that person hitting him.
Talk about threatening.. this idiot was yelling and screaming at Malkin, chasing her down the street. Had there not been so many people between him and her, it looked likely he would hurt her.
He claims to be a conservative? He was at the DNC & he acts like a self-serving, all-deserving democrat! Now in reality you do not see republicans threatening people like that.. you do not see them yelling and screaming. Malkin simply and peacefully walked away.

Anti-meat freaks out to kill the Hot Dog…
Ok I hate hot-dogs personally, my hubbie would eat the ones outside the hardware stores. ick!
This article is interesting.. and the bottom line, hot-dogs aren’t meant to be a one-day-vitamin (duh!).
The commercial’s pro-vegetarian sponsors say it’s a dramatization that highlights research linking processed meats, including hot dogs, with higher odds of getting colon cancer.

Researchers have warned that burning joss-sticks and incense is associated with “an increase in some types of lung cancer, and cancers of the upper respiratory tract, such as throat and mouth cancer”, the Guardian reports.
In what represents a terrible blow for hippies and Strategy Boutiques*, a 12-year study by Dr Jeppe Friborg and his colleagues of the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen supported previous research showing incense fug “contains cancer-causing chemicals such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons, carbonyls and benzene, which cause mutations to DNA in human cells”.
So how is it that burning anything at all, from steaks on the grill, firewood, cigarettes, etc., all cause cancer, but the favorite hippie mantra is that smoking dope doesn’t do anything bad?

Leave it to Michael Totten for when you want the inside story as to what is going on.
TBILISI, GEORGIA – Virtually everyone believes Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili foolishly provoked a Russian invasion on August 7, 2008, when he sent troops into the breakaway district of South Ossetia. “The warfare began Aug. 7 when Georgia launched a barrage targeting South Ossetia,” the Associated Press reported over the weekend in typical fashion.
Virtually everyone is wrong. Georgia didn’t start it on August 7, nor on any other date. The South Ossetian militia started it on August 6 when its fighters fired on Georgian peacekeepers and Georgian villages with weapons banned by the agreement hammered out between the two sides in 1994. At the same time, the Russian military sent its invasion force bearing down on Georgia from the north side of the Caucasus Mountains on the Russian side of the border through the Roki tunnel and into Georgia. This happened before Saakashvili sent additional troops to South Ossetia and allegedly started the war.
If you want the real news in the Middle East or other hotspots, wait for Michael’s reporting. Donate to the guy if you can, remember he helps you to understand what is actually going on. That’s gotta be worth more than one of those ghey latte’s from Charbucks.
Of course, now you know it must be the truth. The Russians are apparently doing a DDOS attack against Michael’s server.

This is a flash back.. from entertaining interviews I have experienced over the years.. Would love to hear yours too. (these are not any specific order)
The 1st computer job I applied for, I was told I had too much computer experience for the job.. HUH? so I guess I was able to identify the keyboard, mouse & monitor.. wow you could run this place (ugh).
In contrast, as a teen when i looked for retail work.. I was told I did not have enough experience. So I guess identifying customer and product isby far more of a challenge then computer work? Humm.. interesting, so what are those colleges up to when they offer courses and degrees on computer work?
The first time I worked in an optical shop.. I did not have experience.. but apparently the person who interviewed me was impressed I wore eyeglasses.. he replied “well you wear eyeglasses, that is good enough”.. YIKES! I ran that shop solo.. I read everything i could get my hands on.. and soon was training (their employees in) several states.. but I know I am not the “norm” for such a situations.
That led me to my next employer who heard about me (she sought me out for the job).. and wanted me to work for her.. during the interview she asked if I would be after her job. SIGH! I said no.. since she worked salary, and I would be hourly and I was an over-time queen!
Another computer job.. the interviewers were slouched in their chairs, barely awake for the interview..just following their script. When they came across the worlds most idiotic question that can be asked in an interview I had to comment! The question.. “are you dependable, etc..” I thought i would lose my mind. I took a moment, then said.. “are you serious?” they looked at me (finally).. I then added…”do you EVER get someone in here who would answer.. yep, i am as unreliable as they come, don’t come in on time, take 3 hours lunch breaks, leave early, and when i am here i will do whatever i want.. but it won’t be work?.. so you ever get that response?” They looked at me shocked.. apparently this had not dawned on them or the thousands that had been employed there. I got that job.. I did get the job, but also I could not wait to escape. Now here is the shocker..they crumbled and closed up.. go figure.
