news round-up

Some thoughts on the more news-worthy items over the past week:
1. House votes ‘yes’ on largest tax increase in history: It was a close vote, to be sure, but Nancy Pelosi and her gang of ultra-left thugs enacted a series of strong-arm tactics (not limited to promising earmarks) and managed a 219-212 vote on the [...]

weekend movies

Disney Channel’s much-promoted Princess Protection Program, featuring its two latest stars, Wizards of Waverly Place’s Selena Gomez and Sonny With a Chance’s Demi Lovato, premiered Friday evening.
I watched it, and there wasn’t a child around. I’m not ashamed. It was really cute, really wholesome, and had a fantastic message. Selena and Demi are best friends [...]

revenge of the fallen

I wasn’t going to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday because a) I’ve gotten old and “late” to me is midnight these days and 2) it was in the middle of a work week and “I’m tired because I went to a midnight movie” isn’t a great excuse, especially since my [...]

for kings & all those in authority

President Obama finally made a brief statement regarding the domestic terrorist attack that left one U.S. soldier dead and another severely wounded. It took three days, and he refused to call the act what it was — terrorism by an Islamofascist with an anti-American, anti-military agenda — but he did it.
(Of course, he released a [...]

true blood vs. twilight

On Friday, radio talk show host and political commentator Laura Ingraham guest-hosted for Bill O’Reilly on The O’Reilly Factor. One of Bill’s regular features is his Back of the Book segment. In this particular installment, Laura talked to Anne Rice about the recent popularity of vampires, and whether that was a good or a bad [...]

l.a. justice

Once again, it’s been proven that if you’re famous, you’re above the law.
Despite the overwhelming proof — graphic photographs, eyewitness statements, and the fact that Rihanna was going to take the stand and tell her story — Chris Brown was allowed to plead guilty, escaping with no more than a slap on the wrist that [...]

look before you fall

I like Gossip Girl. I find it endlessly entertaining, and the crueler and more vindictive Blair Waldorf is, the more entertained I am. Of course, I’m an adult and not part of the very young, very naive, very immature demographic the show — and its network — targets.
Unlike the real, flesh-and-blood teenaged girls the show [...]

the letter

Recently, a woman sent Glenn Beck an open letter that she’d written to our nation’s leadership. I am reposting it here because she expresses everything I wish I could say to our esteemed politicians, too.
Simply put, Barack Obama is ruining our country. The liberals whine that he’s trying to clean up George Bush’s mess, but [...]

when you see my face

Perfect song, perfect video.
This has been a great song to blare the past couple days. I’m still trying to get over the urge I have to punch everyone I meet in the neck.
Frak, I miss Veronica.

top 10 conservative women

I’m still completely irritated by the heinous, deplorable piece from Playboy wherein the columnist fantasized over conservative women he’d like to, in his [arguably limited] vocabulary, “hate-f*ck.”
As with the David Letterman incident, where I was almost more angered by the raucous laughter that erupted after his hateful comments, I’m extremely annoyed at the “it’s no [...]
