The Politimat for Current Politics

I’ve stopped watching almost all political TV now. I realized it’s just bad and mostly frustrating. In addition, they take too long to say what they are trying to say. I can read the news much faster and move on. I have kept The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on my TiVo but I don’t [...]

I was just watching Jon Stewart’s interview with Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich is so evil and spiteful and hateful of our President and nobody calls him on his bullshit. Jon was trying to be polite and it just killed me to watch it, so I turned it off. I give up, The United States has already [...]

Tonight while watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann I finally had enough and removed my TiVo season pass for the show. The format of that show has just become ridonculous.

I will never have the time to really understand what’s going on in, well, almost any political situation. We don’t know what’s really going on with [...]

Blogging about political stuff really helps me to process it. It also gives me something to do other than simply get frustrated by literally everyone involved. So a while back I started blogging while watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Today was the first day after the holiday break and during the first story I started getting [...]
