A random schmuck mouthing off about the state of the world.
Former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, or a lying, nakedly racist accused felon?
If you’re Greg Brock, the alleged “standards” editor for the “librul” New York Times, you go with the lying, nakedly racist accused felon, apparently.
*SIGH*
The next person who says that the media is biased in favor of liberals gets punched in the genitals.
I just wrote the FCC about the Christianist Bullshit Sowers and their naked pandering to the “Theocracy NOW!” crowd:
Having previously rejected an ad by the liberal activist group MoveOn.org in the 2004 Super Bowl, and having rejected an ad by gay dating website ManCrunch.com in this year’s Super Bowl, CBS approved and ran an anti-abortion ad by the far-right activist group Focus on the Family. Furthermore, CBS knowingly and willfully provided assistance to Focus on the Family in making the organization’s ad suitable for viewing, a service they denied MoveOn.org and ManCrunch.com.
When people called or wrote to complain, CBS arrogantly dismissed their complaints out-of-hand.
CBS’s blatant bias in favor of far-right advocacy groups in ad placement in the most lucrative television event of the year, coupled with their disdainful response to complaints about said bias, are a serious disservice to the country and a blatant abrogation of its responsibilities as an FCC-licensed broadcast entity. The FCC should look into CBS’ actions and levy the appropriate penalties to remind CBS it serves everyone.
Bible Spice’s alleged “principles,” such as they are:
Rahm Emmanuel calls lefties upset with the watered-down health care “reform” bill “retards?” Off with his head!
Pillz-E calls the same frustrated progressives “retards?” Well, that’s different!
It always is.
Although, to be fair to Palin, maybe she wasn’t able to be consistent because the phrase “be consistent in your fauxtrage” wasn’t written on her hand at the time.

I’m over at my folks’ place, watching the Super Bowl. As much as I want the Saints to win (since they’ve never even been to a Super Bowl, much less won one), I have a sinking suspicion that the Colts are going to curb stomp the Saints.
I may decide to live blog the Super Bowl. We’ll see.
As usual, THE place for commentary on the commercials is over at Commercials I Hate.com.
Who put the scorpion in your haircare products this morning?
What is in the Potomac these days, and why are Reich-wingers so susceptible to it?
So last night before President Obama’s first official SOTU address the Rethuglicans put out the word that they didn’t want another Joe Wilson moment.
