Today\’s quote comes to us from Fareed Zakaria, who hosts “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on CNN. Here is what he had to say about the lineup of Fox News Channel hosts: – against which CNN competes, and loses big-time, all day and all night on weekends and evenings: “Wedon\’t hold Rupert Murdoch responsible for every crazy, radical, youknow, quasi-fascist...
Here, via excerpts from Reuters and Armin Rosin\’s article at businessinsider.com, is the latest news from Yemen – which, just last year, President Obama classified as a “success story”: Houthifighters entered Yemen\’s presidential palace after a brief clash withthe compound\’s security guards, witnesses and security sources toldReuters, a day after some...
What do you do when you, and your ideas, get massacred in a national election? Well, if you\’re Barack Obama, you just ignore what the people told you and make a speech promising more and more of the same things that generated the massacre. Excerpted from an editorial at Investors Business Daily: TheState of the Union speech supposedly was chock full of big, brassynew ideas to help the...
Lucky for Republicans most people don\’t watch the State Of The Union message/rebuttal, and most who do forget about them soon afterwards. Barack Obama, whatever you thought of the words themselves, was dynamic and compelling. Joni Ernst, by contrast, was robotic and monotonal, with a painted smile that made her look like a Barbie doll wannabe. It is hard to connect last...

From syndicated cartoonist Bob Gorrell. No explanation needed:
Today\’s quote comes to us from Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), a man I have written disparagingly of in the past, based on his ethical issues. But not today. Click here to see/hear Senator Menendez dismantle a hapless Obama windbag, Antony J. Blinken, regarding the administration\’s unfailingly inept, incompetent and truly dangerous position (if you can call it one) on...
New England Patriots coach bill belichick has cheated before. And, while I can\’t prove it in a court of law, it appears clear that he has cheated again. See, an underinflated football is easier to grip than a fully inflated on. And that is of great benefit in a game played in rainy weather – like, for example, the League Championship game between belichick\’s...
This, I have to admit, is a tough one. On Martin Luther King Jr. day, Atlantic City\’s Borgata Hotel had a special menu for their Metropolitan Restaurant, which included fried chicken and collard greens. On its face, that looks like an obvious stereotype (all that was missing was some barbeque, and watermelon for dessert). But it may not be that simple. According to a...
Take heart, New Yorkers. You may not have the most ludicrous Mayor of a major city in the world. Yeah, I know bill de blasio has made it clear that he prefers left wing protesters over cops. And that he didn\’t have a word of condemnation they chanted their demand for dead cops. And he has made a point of consorting with the execrable...
Hmmm….sitting on my couch and watching a speech by Barack Obama, or heading into Manhattan with my wife and seeing Alan Cumming and Emma Stone in Cabaret. It was a tough decision. But, somehow, Alan Cumming and Emma Stone won out. (That, and the fact that, if I made the wrong decision, my wife would have killed me.) Cabaret was absolutely great. And Cumming...
Following is a segment of an essay written by wmd.com\’s Mychal Massie, regarding al sharpton\’s complaining that no Black actors or actresses were nominated for academy awards this year. I don\’t agree with everything Mr. Massie says. But a) I agree with a lot of it and b) in any event, it is an instance of what, for lack of a better term, I will call “Black...
…because I have something better to do. Really. I will, of course, be commenting on it tomorrow, though.
How many long-term obscene-amounts-of-money, baseball contracts have there got to be before Major League baseball teams stop offering them…and then passing the costs along to fans? Max Scherzer is a pitcher. He is 30 years old and has been in the majors for seven years. He has won 20 or more games in a season one time. His earned run average has been below 3.00...
