Media Matters for America: benevolent non-profit organization formed for the express purpose of transcribing Fox News Channel broadcasts for those who don’t have cable, or money-sucking quasi-religious cult?
Taking issue with talk radio host Glenn Beck’s use of oxygen, as well as his exercise of his so-called “freedom of speech,” Media Matters for America devoted its Clockwork Orange-like focus to counting the number of times that Beck has used the word “demon” or “devil.”
Yes, this is the kind of hard-hitting journalism that we’ve come to expect from Media Matters. read more…
David Brock and his group of merry men at Media Matters for America would like you to know that they’re no longer “media watchdogs.” They’re now “guerrilla warriors.”
In what can only be a desperate cost-cutting maneuver to stay afloat financially, Media Matters for America will no longer monitor the media at large for phantoms of conservative bias, narrowing its focus to criticizing a single television network.
Or, to hear Brock—who used to be a conservative until he, apparently, got whacked on the head by a 2 x 4 and lost his mind, or something—tell it, the new focus of Media Matters for America will be waging “war on FOX.” read more…
Even when he loses, he wins.
To be perfectly honest, I had no idea that conservative media mogul Andrew Breitbart was a front-page contributor to Arianna Huffington’s left-wing news rag. I always imagined that he had more class than that, but who knew? read more…
In the wake of the Japan earthquake, and the resulting tsunami, members of the media, some scientists, and environmentalists have posited some … interesting theories as to the root cause of the earthquakes and aftershocks that devastated Japan.
The science behind earthquakes, like the science behind magnets, is a mystery to some. In 2010, Iranian Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told his followers that “Many women who dress inappropriately […] cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes.”
While no link between tectonic activity and cleavage has been found by scientists, I imagine that the quest to prove or disprove this hypothesis got many young men interested in geology, at least for a short amount of time. read more…

Call the Waaaaambulance—Millionaire Athlete Compares Routine Contract Negotiations to Slavery
There are bad analogies, and then there are bad analogies.
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, also known as “Purple Jesus,” would like you to know that he’s a slave, and The Man is holding him down. read more…
The Curious Case of Keith “Crybaby” Ellison, CAIR and the Nation of Islam’s Man in Congress
Just who is Representative Keith Ellison (Democrat, MN-05)?
Is he one of two Muslim Congressmen?
Is he the heel to Rep. Peter King (R-NY), whose Homeland Security hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims have been smeared as a “witch hunt”?
Is he the Congressman who—in his best Joseph Welch impression—recounted a tale (of which some are questioning the veracity) of Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a 23-year-old Pakistan-born American who sacrificed his life saving civilians from the 2001 Islamic terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center buildings
Or is he a radical himself, with ties to radical Islam himself?
Yes, yes, yes, and unfortunately, yes. read more…
Did He or Didn’t He? WikiLeaks Founder’s Alleged Anti-Jew Rant Reveals Schism In The Left
British blog “Liberal Conspiracy,” which bills itself as the “UK’s most popular left-of-centre [sic] politics blog,” ran an article last week discussing an interview (or as they spell it Across the Pond, “interviewe”) between Julian Assange and Ian Hislop, the editor of news magazine (or, as British people say, “gumþéod”) Private Eye. Eye is the “UK’s number 1 best-selling news and current affairs magazine,” according to their website. read more…
Perhaps Louis Farrakhan, leader of the religious movement-cum-ship of fools called the Nation of Islam, was feeling like Charlie Sheen was cornering the market on tiger blood. Perhaps Farrakhan is really a locust-type creature that comes out every few years, makes a few annoying sounds, and goes back to sleep.
In Israel, two wings of the progressive movement are set to clash, and hopefully take each other out in a blaze of stupid, while the rest of us point and laugh… the environmentalist movement and the jihad movement are about to go to war. Or, if they had any shreds of intellectual honesty, they would.
And, oh, is it funny to watch. read more…
In Ohio as in Wisconsin: Life in the Mid(dle) West—Elected Governors Are “Tyrants”?
As yet another Middle East country falls to the spreading wave of protests and revolutions, here at home, malcontents are stirring up chaos, just as malcontents such as the Muslim Brotherhood stirred up the riots in Egypt.
In Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker’s plans to salvage his state’s budget from looming financial ruin by bringing the benefits of public-sector unions—such as teachers’ unions—in line with benefits received by private-sector unions, including removing public-sector unions’ collective bargaining privileges. read more…
It’s come to this.
Facing flagging public support for their platform, Washington Democrats are now resorting to enlisting cartoon characters to help drum up support for funding public television with taxpayer money.
Yesterday, Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) held a press conference featuring the beloved public television cartoon character Arthur (from the eponymous “Arthur” show, which is in turn an adaptation of the “Arthur” series of books by children’s author Marc Brown), and the famous duo of Bert and Ernie from state-run television staple “Sesame Street. They joined together to protest House Republican leaders’ plans to reduce funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. read more…
