Fitting Call Letters

Filed under Media

The Left is returning to it’s 60s roots. Air America is now on San Diego’s KLSD. Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters would be proud.

The Weirdos Have Arrived

Filed under Politics
Comments Off

The protesters have taken NYC. There are the Elephants Against Republicans–politicizing Ground Zero in a way Bush-bashers screamed against earlier this year; the coward (note the covered face) who equates President Bush with Satan; an anti-Starbucks protester who looks like he had one too many espressos; and a bunch of bikers for protesting something.
This will […]

New Media Revolution

Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

The old adage said: “Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.”
That doesn’t apply today, in this new media revolution we are witnessing, where the ink is electrons beamed at your screen; they’re free (and recyclable!).
The men at PowerLine are in the midst of a fight right now with a deputy […]

Very Potent

Filed under John Kerry
Comments Off

The SwiftVets’ first ad finally makes the front page of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. No, chief political reporter Craig Gilbert doesn’t examine the SwiftVets’ charges and Kerry Edwards’ counter-charges–leave that to the blogosphere. Instead, he reports on “how much bang for their buck” the SwiftVets got. For $500,000 and only one-thousandth of the total […]

The New Soldier

Filed under John Kerry

A Kerry ally is threatening legal action against those who post or link to the cover of The New Soldier. Don’t be surprised at legal action to stop the electronic distribution of the book. (Since Kerry has dragged on the SwiftVet story for this long, he’d be dumb enough to draw attention to his anti-war […]

It Just Won’t Die

Poor Paul Hamm. After winning a gold medal, he thought he was living a dream. The FIG turned it into a nightmare by flailing away trying to save face over a judging mistake that may or may not have cost a South Korean the gold. Hamm’s back in the U.S. presumably to get away from […]

Technorati Needs a Hand

Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

Technorati’s Election 2004 weblog aggregator can’t figure out what side of the political spectrum TAM’s on. Anyone know of a way to enlighten Technorati?

Now He’s Done It

It’s one thing for a Presidential candidate to look like a dork by wearing a cheesehead, but to mess up Lambeau Field means you don’t deserve a Packers fan’s vote.

Kerry’s House of Ketchup #24

Filed under John Kerry

Kerry speaks.

And August is supposed to be a slow news month. Maybe it is, and that’s why so many of us are all over John Kerry’s four-month stay in Vietnam. The GOP convention starts in a few days with Kerry’s new Band of Brothers ready with counter-zingers to a tightly-scripted media event.

Go Right Ahead, Oliver

Filed under Politics

Maybe Oliver Willis can convince David Brock to put some of the money he got from George Soros into trying to disbar John O’Neill. (It were sure beat paying those people to watch Fox News all day.) I’m sure O’Neill wouldn’t back down since he dared John Kerry to sue him for libel.
“Should John O’Neill […]

Look at the line up for day two of The Encore. Who do I see, Jimmy Eat World, The Gufs, or Robert Randolph? Why could these bands have been to the Big Gig instead of Summerfest, Jr?

No More Mr. Nice Guy

Filed under Politics

Alice Cooper says some LOL stuff on those rockers for Kerry:
To me, that’s treason. I call it treason against rock ‘n’ roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics.
When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I’d run to my room and put […]
