Not only is Jesse Ventura an ex-governor and ex-wrestler, but he is also a former Navy SEAL who went through SEAR training. Now he is one of the most outspoken opponents of torture. He has been on fire the past several days schooling numerous talking heads about waterboarding and saying that it is in fact […]
Following up from my previous post, I think I have figured out why people don’t watch Morning Joe (he does rank 3rd amongst the 3 cable stations). The most common demographic you are going to find during the early morning hours are people getting ready for work. They are on a limited time schedule and […]
I have had Morning Joe on for about 45 minutes now. Guess what the subject has been? Nancy Pelosi and the CIA crap. The constant whining of “how can she lash out at the CIA” is getting very old. Scarborough has essentially dedicated his last 4 shows to this subject. This morning they are talking […]
For the past several days the media has been pushing the story that “Pelosi knew about torture and did nothing”. When people come out to defend Pelosi, such as former Senator Bob Graham, they are ignored. Instead the media has gone to bed with the Republicans in pushing their own version of what did or […]
So here we are one week from the kick off of summer – Memorial Day weekend! We are also a week past the traditional “end of frost” – Mother’s Day. These past two weekends mark the highlight of the suburbia outdoor art festival. It’s a time when people flock to their local garden centers like […]
TBogg makes a very interesting and accurate point that Nancy Pelosi has become the next Lynndie England: Due to “process” reporting we have learned that the Torture Years were not the responsibility of the Administration who demanded them, the legal counsel who found legal justification for them, the medical personnel who stood by and watched, […]
Talk about being beat to the punch: Uruguay is moving to lift a ban on homosexuals joining the armed forces. The defense ministry confirms that Minister Jose Bayardi has signed a decree lifting the ban imposed by the 1973-85 military dictatorship. The army said Wednesday it has received the decree, which has yet to be […]
Via Sullivan comes this very interesting map: I would be happy to see us become a green colored nation, but wouldn’t mind becoming blue either. Of course we need more than an abolishment of the death penalty; we also need an entire overhaul of our justice system. When it comes to per populace incarceration rates, […]
Someone doesn’t like people talking about her man: I was disappointed to read “Gov. Paterson’s Performance” (editorial, May 9), which characterized Joe Scarborough as a “leader in the Republican attack squad.” My television and radio co-host has spent the last five years being equally tough on Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington. Joe was one […]
People like this is the very reason abortion is legal: Two seasonal Yellowstone National Park concession workers have been fired after a live webcam caught them urinating into the Old Faithful geyser. Park spokesman Al Nash says a 23-year-old man on Tuesday was fined $750 and placed on three years of unsupervised probation for urinating, […]
