Ad Hoc

10 best Super Bowl ads of all time - Business of Super Bowl XLIV- msnbc.com
Some of these were pretty good.



Brit Hume, Pro

Fox, Tiger, and Christianity: A Defense of Brit Hume — Politics Daily

Eventually, Hume landed with ABC. A solid reporter, he’d initially had trouble learning the ropes of looking natural in front of the camera. By the time I knew him, he’d mastered it, first on Capitol Hill and then at the White House. In 1991, […]



Garden Variety Dumbass

Armchair Commentary: Best Movies of the Decade
From a Seattle critic. Apparently Joe Stalin is no longer making movies, because I’m sure he could have garnered a couple of spots.
The commenters nominate this exercise in snobbish vapidity as “Worst Best Of List of the Decade.”
I concur. I was particularly amused by his selection of […]



Doctor Dumbasses

U.S. autism cases show 59% increase, alarming activists
One in every 100 children in the United States may have some form of autism spectrum disorder, far more than previously believed, and the rate appears to be worsening quickly, especially among boys, new figures from the CDC show.
Yawn. Another manufactured panic for a phony disease.
What a […]



Dick Wolf: Hack

O’Reilly slams ‘Law & Order,’ calls Wolf ‘despicable’–The Live Feed | THR
Bill O’Reilly went after “Law & Order” franchise creator Dick Wolf on Thursday night’s “O’Reilly Factor” telecast, calling the producer a “despicable human being” whose veteran TV drama is “out of control.”
O’Reilly can certainly say that “L&O” threw the first punch.
This week’s […]



Something I Can Agree with Kos On

Feinstein, Durbin Seek To Limit Citizen Journalism.
(You didn’t think I would actually link there, did you?)
Via Dailykos. The Senate was on track to do better by citizen journalism than the House given some pressure. But now, two key Democrats have introduced an amendment that would put citizen journalists at risk, giving protections to only established […]



Mother Nature is Sexist

Or else Phil Jones and Micheal Mann were involved in this research. Men’s genes ‘may limit lifespan’ .
Scientists working on mice have highlighted a specific gene that, although carried by both sexes, appears to be active only in males.
They believe it allows males to grow bigger bodies - but at the expense of their […]



Rapid Response

Just thinking…
Once upon a time we all rushed to Drudge to see what he’d scooped the MSM on this time. Nowadays, it seems like Drudge is the one who’s posting news about ten or twelve hours stale.
Or more.



In Case of Accidental Poisoning

The linked slide show should help: MICHELLE OBAMA: FIRST LADY OF FASHION.
If it doesn’t induce vomiting, you won’t mind dying.



No Suspicions Whatsoever

I keep reading and hearing that the Muslim jihadi terrorist Nidal Hasan (Nidal means “struggle,” and was picked as a moniker by fellow Muslim jihadi terrorist Abu Nidal - it is also a reference to the Islamic concept of “jihad” - he could as easily have been named “Jihad Malik Hasan”) is “alleged” or “suspected” […]



America-Hating Media

Pajamas Media » Fort Hood Massacre: A Day of Courage and Cowardice
Most of the people in the mainstream media, I suspect, could also see early on exactly what was going on — but to an outrageous degree, they, too, spent Thursday evening doing their best to turn away from the obvious truth. Throughout the evening […]



How About A Link?

James Pethokoukis » Blog Archive » ‘Permanent Democratic majority’ begins to unravel | Blogs |
A respected political forecasting model by Ray Fair Yale University calculates that Democrats and Republicans should split the 2010 vote because of the economy. If that scenario unfolds, then David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report, according to an interview with […]



Maybe We Can Get John Stossel to Run for House or Senate

Via ColdFury.
The Double Standard About Journalists’ Bias
I made The New York Times last week. It even ran my picture. My mother would be proud.
Unfortunately, the story was critical. It said, “Critics have leaped on Mr. Stossel’s speaking engagements as the latest evidence of conservative bias on the part of Fox.”
Which “critics” had “leaped”? The reporter […]



Stupid, Ignorant, or Smart Enough Not to Care?

Instapundit » Blog Archive » THERE’S NO IQ TEST FOR NEWS-ANCHOR JOBS: “CNN should consider banning its anchors from appearing on…
But hey, I know some smart people who didn’t do that well on Jeopardy. . .
In that case, were they really that smart? Or were they smart, but ignorant?
Of course, from what I’ve seen […]



Getting It Right

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Broadcast nets rejects Obama admin’s attempt to block Fox
The collected Washington bureau chiefs of the major broadcast networks rejected a White House attempt to keep Fox News from participating in pool reports. Rather than cut Fox out of the pool, the broadcast bureau chiefs unanimously told the Obama […]



ACORN Update

Via Ace. and Confederate Yankee. ACORN Sting Team Releases New Video From Philadelphia Office
Basically, it’s O’Keefe narrating again as they show video clips of the office manager lying on camera to the media bout what was said, then contrasted with the hidden video of what she actually said. Damning stuff, though there was some annoying […]



He Didn’t Retire, He Was Fired

Ted Turner wants to run CNN again
As for Cartoon Network, Turner tells anchor Betty Liu, “If I had control of it, I’d put ‘Captain Planet’ on at a top time period so that kids would see the environmental superhero instead of just Superman.”
The environment, along with population control and nuclear disarmament, have been pet projects […]



French Racism

Via The Other McCain. Blackface 2009 : Lara Stone in French Vogue

Odd how there seems to be a lack of condemnation for this. I’m quite sure there are plenty of Black models that are qualified for the shoot.
Check out the comments and tell me they’d be as lowkey if this was an American publication. And […]



Funny, but True Vids as Fox Reacts to White House

I found the links at A Conservative Shemale.
Via Another Black Conservative Niel Cavuto.

Does Neil seem a tad upset to you?
And Glenn on Hotair with a hotline for the White House. He doesn’t sound like a raving lunatic to me.



Doesn’t Fit the Narrative

Someday, somebody will discover this opportunity…
Discover and then ignore it, most likely.



Spitting on Your Customers As A Business Plan Sucks

Instapundit » Blog Archive » THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED THIS WEEKEND: My Washington Examiner column on Roman Polanski’s Holl…
My Washington Examiner column on Roman Polanski’s Hollywood defenders. “Technologically and market-wise, Hollywood is in the weakest position it’s ever been, and yet it is also more arrogant than it was in its Golden Age.”
Just a […]



Empowerment

You know, in the beginning I wasn’t all that hot about the whole notion of PJTV, but I have gotten sort of addicted to InstaVision With Glenn Reynolds.
Glenn is never going to be mistaken for one of those slickmeister blow-dried airheads, but that is a great deal of his charm. He’s kind of like […]



More Beck, Cause I’m Tired of Writing About Obama for the Moment

The American Spectator : Secret Protocols of Beck’s Legions
From a comment to Stacy McCain’s article on Beck:
We must keep in perspective that Beck is first and foremost an entertainer who thrives on ratings. Everything else is secondary.
This is the sort of fatuous, vacuous bullshit that gives commenting a bad name.
Does this boob see no difference […]



In Case You, You Know, Actually Have A Life….

Steve Green watched the Mobamathon on Sunday so you didn’t have to.
Which probably explains why he’s become such a drunk.



MSM Crusher?

City Brights: Zennie Abraham : Dominique Dicaprio - model shows why blogs top news sites
Who’s Dominique Dicaprio and why is she ahead of Megan Fox and Jessica Lange in search trends as of now?
Beats me. Is she related to Leonardo?
The thesis here is that this young lady is an example of why blogs […]
