http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/us/12justice.html?ref=us wow. social justice is a communist idea? human rights is communist? does Beck wanna go back to the days of Segregation, no Women's right to Vote, child labor, no environmental laws, no unions, etc? what a moron.

Glenn Beck's crazy rants come off as if he watched 'Network' one too many times- he comes off as being mentally ill- I personally think it's all shtick- he's paid millions to cater to a far right wing audience-so he plays up right wing paranoia big time.... BUT I have talked to some who think...

Interesting op-ed from yesterday's NYT, Tiger Woods, Person of the Year

There are various schools of economics, such as the Keynesian School, the Chicago School, the Austrian School and the Marxist School. Let me propose a name for another school of economics: The Neo-Antoinette School. Some axioms of this school: 1) Industrialization is bad. 2) Commercialization...

According to Robert ParKs, who is so trustworthy that I didn't even google it, "JON STEWART DONS THE MANTLE OF CRONKITE. Even as the revered anchor of CBS News was laid to rest, Time released the state-by-state results of a poll of 10,000 Americans across the nation, asking: who is now the...

Is this a new focus area by Mr Beck? His radio show announced earlier today, as far as I recall the wording: "The Glenn Beck Show - The best source for Science and science-related information". Later, they were playing and ridiculing line-by-line some neck-line-slimmer product commercial...

As the post-election Rovian-style attacks continue to rage, maybe some relief can be found by way of the "opposition" coming together and "attacking" each other with a little civilized humor (Of course BillO's real motive is selling his new book). Jon Stewart interviews BillO on Daily Show...

On Thursday, Jon Stewart made a pretty funny but also quite interesting point that I asked myself a lot as well: Who are those "experts" in US-Political News talking about the elections - and what the heck does make them "the best political teams in television" anyway...

When I watch "The Daily Show" on Youtube, I have a hard time to understand what Jon Stewart actually meant whenever some nut jobs put a *beep* -sound in there every view seconds. Since this bothers me a lot, I looked what this free speech myth is that everyone is talking about - and I found out...

It's true. :) Well, at least it's truthiness. I wonder what the Paris Business Review will say?

The news is not good. My hero, Molly Ivins, the fearless, hilarious, barb-wire liberal is back in the hospital with a recurrance of cancer, and her brother says it is back with a vengeance. I've been reading her columns for at least thirty years now and she has molded my opinion like no other...

It seems the most popular authors and speakers on the Middle East and in particular Israel and Palestine are people who aren't experts who have specialized in studying the region. People with Ph.D.'s, doctoral thesis' on the topic, years of work in academia and think tanks specializing in the...

http://mediamatters.org/items/200512060004 The joke from Stewart's Daily Show was: SAMANTHA BEE: But really, let's face it. All other days bow down to the 25th. It's the only religious holiday that's also a federal holiday. That way, Christians can go to their services and everyone else can...

....I mean, if we can have a Conservative female columnist, why not an unabashed Populist? (After all, she's the lady who hung the nickname 'Shrub' on GW). And the subject (Social Security) is one that has been argued here before and will be again as Bush gears up for Social Security Reform...

Please, no voting before December 9!!! Varwoche has challenged me, before it comes out, to do a public examination of Ann Coulter's December 9 column, believing it will prove to be unsupported by the facts. This sounds like fun. So on December 9, read Coulter's column (you can find a link to...

Found on Media Matters

Anyone see Jon Stewart on Crossfire today? Looked like there was no love lost between Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson.

Robert Novak Believes in Revealing Confidential Sources, After All :rolleyes:

Yes, he is. He may have liberal leanings, but that doesn't stop him from hip-checking every single person in the headlines, no holes barred. I mean holds. He makes Letterman look like a cranky old man, and Bill Maher could only beat Jon because Jon would spot Bill Judaism and self-deprecating...

Amir Taheri is a columinst for various newspapers. The interesting thing about him is that, first of all, he's a Muslim himself (he is from Iran)--unlike most western columnists, of course. Second, while he HAS a political view (or he wouldn't bother), his columns have a very high...

I'm about half way through Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liers Who Tell Them". It cracks me up when B'ORe claims that it isn't satire. Take for example this bit from the introduction where Al recounts his conversation with God where God was telling him to write the book. and How could...

Ivins is better than Franken Edited to say: Of course I meant Franken. Dam dis board where you can't correct or delete thread titles! If you're looking for a left-leaning political book that is funny, in an enraging sort of way, try Molly Ivins' new book, Bushwhacked: Live in George W...

There have been a few threads about Fox, O'Reilly, etc. So instead of talking about who we don't like, let's figure out who we do. That is a much shorter list for me :) I am not fond of anyone I can think of from CNN, FOX or MSNBC. I like Dan Rather- he is very good in a crisis. I like Ted...

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/22/opinion/22KRIS.html At least he had the integrity to admit most of his predictions were wrong.
