Jon Steward criticizes Rachel Maddow over Haiti Coverage
Like most news sources Jon Stewart took some time to review the horrible and really and truly racist ways Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh politicized the tragic earthquakes in Haiti. But I was happy to see that he also took the time to criticize Rachel Maddow’s politicization of the earthquakes. Rachel basically said Obama and [...]
I Really Don’t Like Rudy Giuliani
I’m watching Countdown (with Lawrence O’Donnell) and I just saw the segment about how Rudy Giuliani obviously lied about Obama not being as strong or responsive to the underwear bomber as George W. Bush was in similar situations. He also claims there were no terrorist attacks after 9/11 on George W. Bush’s watch. In truth, [...]
Countdown with Keith Olbermann, “He Who Rides the Tiger is Afraid to Get Off”
Thoughts on Countdown with Keith Olbermann for December 18, 2009. Lawrence O’Donnel is in for Keith Olbermann, again. I used to skip these episodes but since this happens more often than Keith Olbermann being present I’ve started watching. Story 5: Grand Obstructionist Party The title seems to suggest the Republicans are stopping the bill but [...]

Rachel Maddow on Arlen Specter Becoming a Democrat
On today’s news that Arlen Specter is becoming a democrat, Rachel Maddow is making it quite clear that she thinks all democrats should vote together and those that don’t are traitors. I guess she doesn’t remember the time republicans didn’t have their own opinions and voted with Bush to destroy the country time and time [...]
U.S. Torture Methods Designed to Elicit False Confessions
As I’m learning more about this torture business, I’m really saddened by it. I really think George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are two of the worst people to ever hold power in the United States. It’s a sign that we need better controls over our leaders so that they can’t just do whatever they [...]
5 Reasons Tea Parties are Stupid
I’m a bit disturbed by these “tea parties” and this rush to tea bag anything that moves. Here five reasons tea parties and tea bagging don’t make sense. It has nothing to do with taxation without representation, or tea. The vast majority of people “protesting” are paying less taxes than they were under George W. [...]
