I came across the following question (where and why is not important):
Why does Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general have to turn practically every movie and TV show these days into a vehicle for the same predictable left-wing propaganda?
So I answered, and thought I'd share it here (and by "answered" i mean "crushed the premise of the question like a grape")
I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels -- that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever -- then that's legit. We'll track it down.
A) How Dick Cheney WANTS us to think of the "Terrorist Threat", or...
B) Dick Cheney HIMSELF (what?? Dick Cheney DOESN'T destroy everything he touches and have snarling crab-creatures erupting from his skin that can terrify even a NY subway rat??)
As much as I've hated you all for a long, long time, I've always checked in with one or all of you on a daily basis to fulfill my self-imposed daily requirement for keeping informed about current events.
Even Fox was part of the channel-flipping routine, if only to keep abreast of how the batshit insane contingent viewed things.
I had been making it a habit to regularly DVR one of the 3 network nightlies (settling on NBC and Brian Williams lately as the least repulsive).
This probably all dates back to my childhood with Walter Cronkite, when there actually was NEWS to hear at the end of the day.
Don your tinfoil derby and follow me for just a moment...
Have you heard this one? It's got the Wingnuttery all a-twitter...
A 12 year old girl is suing the Chicago Board of Education for negligence, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress after a substitute teacher led her 8th grade class to watch the film Brokeback Mountain with the warning, "What happens in Ms. Buford's class stays in Ms. Buford's class," according to the lawsuit.

Tonight I--as well as all of my fellow San Franciscans had the great honor of being saved by none other than CTU's Jack Bauer. Even though he was struggling with the news of the death of the lovely Audrey Raines, he was able to take out the remote pilot of a drone plane armed with a nuclear warhead headed for San Francisco. Then, taking over the controls and instantly digesting the technical specs of the apparatus, he guided the drone to a somewhat safe landing on the industrial outskirts of downtown SF, averting an airborne detonation of the device, but however resulting in a compromised radioactive core, which is expected to have some nasty results for the first-responding firemen.
I enjoy the pop culture diaries that show up here at least once a week. They're a nice break from monitoring the real world. So I thought I'd start my own.
If you're like me you are both eagerly anticipating the resumption of the 6th and final season of The Sopranos while simultaneously dreading its final curtain.
So wake up this morning, get yourself a gun, and jump in to talk about where the story of "T" will ultimately end.
I was watching a discussion of potential presidential candidates today, with the talk mainly focused on Barak Obama, when these words appeared at the bottom of the screen:
GIULIANI CRITICS PLAN TO LAUNCH "SWIFT BOAT" TYPE ATTACK ADS
None of the discussion touched on this; there was no additional detail. The words just kept popping up every 15 seconds or so.
Is it not time to amend the Constitution to categorize vote fraud, voter suppression, and voter intimidation as treasonous offenses with STIFF federal penalties?
NEW YORK -- The marquee columnists for The New York Times' Op-Ed page _ including Thomas L. Friedman, Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich _ generate lots of interest and discussion online. Now, the paper is hoping they'll also generate something else: cash.
Beginning Monday, the Times will begin charging $49.95 a year to people who don't get the paper delivered at home for access to those writers as well as other columnists for the Times' business, metro and sports sections.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Pledge of Allegiance was ruled unconstitutional Wednesday by a federal judge who granted legal standing to two families represented by an atheist whose previous attempt to get the pledge out of public schools was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Halliburton should be pressed into service before sundown today to atone for its no- bid treasury-looting and price gouging by beginning construction on dozens of refugee encampments as close as possible to the evacuated zones.
They have built sprawling bases in Iraq that are nearly self-sustaining cities. Our troops abide in unprecedented comfort for a war zone encampment.
I dashed an email off to a smallfry wingnut "columnist" called Matthew Holmes (or "Blade") in response to his column "Tom 'The Islamic Bomb' Tancredo: The Voice of Patriotic Sanity." As you can imagine, he found the idea of incinerating millions of innocents in a holy place both Patriotic and Sane. This morning I found a reply worthy of Ann Coulter's younger and less talented brother. What follows is the resulting exchange and what I hope is the beginning of a long and venomous correspondence...
