Remember the Days Before Cookie Monster Went Straight?
I laughed when I saw that the old episodes of Sesame Street (now on DVD) come equipped with a parental warning. Apparently, some of the scenes are too racy for kids today. I tell you, my biggest reservation about Al Gore as a public official is that his wife was so instrumental in creating the […]
New media watchdog feature: Props and Flops
In the spirit of Stephen Colbert’s “Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger” I’ll be comparing and contrasting instances of Delaware’s crappy msm journalism with instances of Delaware’s even more crappy msm journalism. Volume 1 Number 1…here we go Props to NJ Blogger Ryan comier for this observation: “Oh man, I wish I could go […]
Fair Use Disney Mashup
This is pretty funny and informative. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJn_jC4FNDo] Jason Ads this From Wikipedia: The Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998—alternatively known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act or pejoratively as the Mickey Mouse Protection Act—extended copyright terms in the United States by 20 years.

I just faxed a question to his “Rose and a Prayer” guest and if he reads it [AND SHE RESPONDS HONESTLY], it could be explosive. In the event he does not get to it [OR CHICKENS OUT], I wrote: please ask if you guest knows of anyone from the “pro-life community” that is considering running […]
Did anyone watch “Home Makeover” last night?
Personally I was wondering only because I couldn’t sit through all of it. If you didn’t catch it let me lay out for you who the needy family was: An army veteran that was paralyzed from a roadside bomb. The guy was enlisted and was having a terrible time adjusting to his disability. His house […]
Republican Attack Machine Examined
I think we are well served to look back at the Republican attack machine that was unleashed on John Kerry in 2004 – in order to be ready for the next onslaught of lies, fabrications and character assassinations. This Eric Boehlert column in Media Matters, which looks back at the “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth,” […]
Imus is Done
Don Imus was cut loose from CBS today in the culmination of his week-long battle with his critics. Now I may be alone in this, but don’t think this was quite a fair state of affairs. I am no Imus fan, but a personality that I am a fan of, Bill Maher, was treated to […]

Media Matters has done a survey of the Sunday morning talk shows and found that they are still more conservative than liberal. The leading theory on the imbalance in the past has been that the Republic Party had controlled both houses of Congress, so they got more time. Since the Dems won both houses one […]
