Here are two worthwhile driving tips for you: 1. If you\’re driving through lower Manhattan (or, for that matter, just about anywhere in Manhattan) never get behind anyone with out of town plates, because it is an excellent bet they have no idea how to deal with it, and will wind up exasperating you. 2. If you\’re driving anywhere – Manhattan, the suburbs, small-town America...
As any regular reader knows, I frequently reference the political tone-deafness of Republicans. As for Democrats? Though it is considerably less typical of them it happens on that side of the aisle as well. Which brings us straight to the Veterans Affairs (VA) scandal. On May 12, I awarded Chuck Todd “Quote Of The Day” honors for advising Republicans that the VA...
Today\’s quote comes to us from the iconic TV host – whose career in this medium was preceded by 22 years in the United States military (Marines and Navy) – Montel Williams. Mr. Williams takes great exception to the treatment Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals are giving — or, more exactly, not giving — our military veterans and the lack of Presidential...
I could probably end this blog right at the title. The Today Show, this morning, provided serious, fairminded coverage of the Veterans Affairs (VA) scandal – after not reporting so much as one word about it the day before, and after the entire NBC News apparatus providing a scant 3 1/2 minutes of coverage over the entire Memorial Day weekend on all its news shows combined. What has suddenly...
Stacey Dash is an actress. Her breakthrough role was as Dionne, Alicia Silverstone\’s friend in “Clueless”, and has played numerous TV and movie roles since then. But Ms. Dash does have a problem: she is a Black woman whose politics are center-right….which absolutely infuriates the “tolerant” left. It has just been announced that Ms. Dash...
No, that title is not a goof. And since this comes to us from NPR’s web site, I am assuming it is researched and presumed to be true. According to Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson’s article: One of the founders of Hungary\’s far-right Jobbik Party has discovered he is Jewish, and that his grandmother is an Auschwitz survivor. Now, he keeps kosher, attends synagogue and visits...
Thetrouble is he\’s lazy, the trouble is he drinksThe trouble is he\’scrazy, the trouble is he stinksThe trouble is he\’s growing, thetrouble is he\’s grownKrupke, we\’ve got troubles of our own Those lyrics are from “Gee, Officer Krupke”; a very amusing (in a black humorish sort of way) song from West Side Story. But how amusing are they in the...
donald sterling, having had everything taken away from him, therefore nothing to lose, will do what he continually has done for decades: seek redress in a court of law. The NBA will contend sterling has no case because his agreement with the league states that its decision is binding. sterling will counter that the entire basis for the NBA\’s decision is an...
A question for the Today Show – a show which, for the better (make that worse) part of two months, did daily features on four days of lane closings on the George Washington Bridge: Last week, your own guy – Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd – said that the VA scandal was the most dangerous of the Obama administration – bigger than ObamaCare...
Ken Thomas of the Associated Press has an article today titled “Clinton \’proud\’ of diplomatic accomplishments”. Through laughing yet? Well, while you\’re trying to suppress that last chortle or two, I thought you might be interested in what a commenter calling him/herself “Scott” had to say about it: NEW QUARTERBACK FOR THE GREEN BAY...
I think we need a new word – a word that describes how amazingly inept the Obama administration is. Obamaneptitude. Yep, that says it pretty clearly. Here is the latest example, as excerpted from Adam Kredo\’s article at The Washington Free Beacon: TheState Department\’s Counter Terrorism (CT) Bureau apologized onTuesday for promoting a controversial Muslim scholar...
Months ago, I juxtaposed a picture of Pope Francis with one of Woody Allen. And, as is pretty obvious below, from a certain angle the two look very much alike: At the time I originally posted pictures of the two I considered it a funny coincidence. But suddenly I\’m not laughing. Excerpted from Dave Urbanski\’s article for the Associated Press: PopeFrancis delivered a...
This story, from Reuters, via NBC News, is too short to excerpt. I will not be commenting on it, because I don\’t know what can be added that would make its message clearer to any civilized person. The bold print is mine. FamilyStones Pakistani Woman to Death in \’Honor Killing\’ Outside Court LAHORE,Pakistan – A 25-year-old woman was stoned to death by her...
Apropos of nothing political…. ….congratulations to Marlboro, New Jersey….for near simultaneous opening of a new Whole Foods store, and a new Livoti\’s market – across the street from each other on Route 9 at Route 520. Between those two stores and the Wegman\’s, just a few miles south, There really are some excellent choices for food shopping. And if...
You can take that title with or without the parenthesized word. Either way it is entirely accurate. Tom Blumer, at newsbusters.org, has written an excellent – and devastatingly scathing – blog about just how completely the Associated Press\’s Charles Babbington is in the pockets of his apparent Democrat masters….with chapter and verse of how disparate what Babbington...
