The MSM Is Hyping Caribou Barbie? Say It Ain’t So!
I find this story to be quite plausible, if taken in the general context of the media’s attempts to make Caribou Barbie into something she isn’t.
You know what I mean. They have been her faithful servant every step of the way as she’s tried to portray herself as intelligent, down to earth, “just like you,” [...]
Political analysts serve whom exactly?
The Political analysts that appear on Fox, MSNBC, CNN and other news outlets will have you believe that they are all fair and balanced in their analysis of specific issues or incidents.
Nothing could be farther from the truth in most cases. Many times, these folks have another job as a Lobbyist, Consultant or sit on [...]
Lies of Omission, Or Just Plain Lies: FOX “News” In a Nutshell
Like most of you, I was aware of a significant investment in Murdoch’s “News” Corp by a Saudi investor. I wondered what that might cause at the FOX “News” Channel, because FOX “News” has been virulently pushing the “scary brown Muslim murderer” meme for some time (and trying to tie that meme like hell to [...]

Lawrence O’Donnell goes after ex-Shrub speechwriter
On Morning Joe, which is a rightwing nutter-led show, Lawrence starts foaming at the mouth over the lies and obfuscation being spewed by the Bushie Mark Theissen…all the while Joey Scar is backing the Bushie Bullshit. Calm down Larry, you are going to stroke out over these assholes..and it ain’t worth it as they will [...]
The day after the big game…
Hi y’all!
Okay, so this bitch caught the big game yesterday. It had everything – anticipation, two elite teams prepared to give it their all and a sold out crowd on hand to watch that shit!
And Lawd knows the actual game lived up to the hype…the intensity was out of this world and by the time [...]
Chris Matthews, post-racialism and acceptable blackness…
Let’s jump right on in.
A bitch didn’t see it…I fell asleep watching the Blues hockey game (we were robbed!!) and wouldn’t have been watching the State of the Union on MSNBC anyway because Chris Mathews works my nerves…but apparently Mr. Matthews defined post-racialness on air last night.
Matthews…

Our F*ckwit of the week.
Paul Shirley is an athlete. More precisely he was an athlete. He now writes for ESPN and occasionally DeadSpin, a sports blog/site that I frequent.
Paulie is also an ignorant fuckwad and our Fuckwit of the Week. If you read his little OpEd I think you just might agree with me.His glaring lack of knowledge regarding [...]
Is This Any Surprise?
If there is no way to use something to attack the President, FOX “News” is most often not interested in it. They are not, and never have been, a news channel; they are the propaganda arm of the Rushpubliscum Party. They exist to either cover over the dishonesty and incompetence of Rushpubliscum politicians, or to [...]
Once again, WaPo publishes propaganda as news.
One of the uber-rich extreme rightwing nutters is Peter G. Peterson. Pete owns a shitload of media conglomerates that masquerade as ‘news publications’, among other things. He hates entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare. His flagship publication is The Fiscal Times.The Fiscal Times likes to quote only from the Think Tanks that Pete Peterson [...]
Mobilization Of Resentments
The email with an attachment came to me Christmas morning. The forwarded message was titled, “I am honored to do this”. It was from a well-intentioned Christian friend. Unfortunately my friend was not as well informed as he could have been.
The radical right-slanted message presented two horrible lies about the ACLU while hiding behind the [...]
And Now, I Know
I think I may have complained in here before about the so-called “history” programs on stations like the National Geographic Channel being chock-full of Bible and Jesus “documentaries.” What couching these stories in those terms does is give them the aura of legitimacy that isn’t backed up anywhere by ACTUAL recorded history; articles of faith [...]
From the soap box on the topic of autism…
***steps onto soap box***
Hi y’all!
Longtime readers know that a bitch’s older brother is autistic.
This one goes out to journalists who report on autism and to my fellow members of the autism spectrum community.
My brother Bill is damn near 40. Lawd, have mercy. He’s profoundly autistic, aphasic and a fantabulous adult.
I want you all [...]
Joe Trippi to Faux Noise?
WTF is up w/this news? Dean was probably the most liberal, and viable, presidential contender since Eugene McCarthy. From the SwampPolitics link:
Joe Trippi, who served as campaign manager for Howard Dean’s unique bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, has signed on for a new ride: FOX News contributor.
The Swamp has learned that the indefatigable Democrat [...]
It started with a photograph
From ProPublica:
It was three days after the levees broke: Thursday, Sept. 1, 2005 — in my limited view, the day things completely fell apart in New Orleans.
The desperation was mounting. The cavalry wasn’t coming, it seemed. We were in it alone.
As we drove up Religious Street, just past the Saulet Apartments, we saw a dicey [...]
