Liberal Talk Radio

You remember that skit on Saturday Night Live, “Ruining it for Everyone”? It was a talk show where they interviewed the first guy to put razor blades in candy, the first guy to pick up a hitchhiker and kill them, etc. “Next week: we’ll interview Patient Zero!” It was really funny. [...]

I’m on a roll here, folks. (I’ll be out of town for 4 days next week, so maybe I’m just overcompensating)
So how to I judge how freaked out the GOP is about this DeLay thing going down? As I explained earlier, I see how their first-responders (the conservative news organs) are [...]

The vote on Roberts came down pretty much how I expected, 78-22.
The Slant wonders (happy birthday, man!!) why Hillary would vote no:
Is puzzling. Kerry’s a no-brainer. He’s obviously sticking left. But I don’t get Hillary here– she has her liberal bona fides. She doesn’t need liberal cred. She needs centrist cred. And by [...]

That’s my take on what’s going on with this latest monorail re-vote. We’ve planned and planned and planned. Seven years of planning and voting and more planning and yet more voting. And just when we’re about to start construction, someone finally pipes up and says, “wait a sec… we don’t have the [...]

Stanley Kurtz writes on the corner:
continue to get plenty of responses to my posts from earlier this morning and yesterday about the increasingly leftward tilt of Country Music Television (CMT). So far it’s unanimous. Everyone who’s seen both prefers Great American Country (GAC) to the more left-leaning CMT. As best I can tell, though, [...]

After hearing news of Tom DeLay’s indictment yesterday, I turned on Fox News, to get a feel for how the GOP establishment was going to try and spin this. And Neil Cavuto didn’t disappoint. He rounded up a few wall street analysts to discuss how much this would be bad for Wall Street [...]

What a fantastic-looking website. I was wondering when the Dems would get their a**es in gear for ‘06. Couple more websites like this and I think we’re looking at a Democratic landslide next year.
(Still testing the limits of sarcasm on the internet. The website does look nice, though. that [...]

I was watching Bill O’Reilly fight with Phil Donahue on the O’Reilly show the other day, and it was uncomfortable for a number of reason. First, watching O’Reilly get mad just makes my skin crawl. Second, Donahue was stretching a LOT to defend Cindy Sheehan, and thus making me feel some weird cognitive [...]

Seattle has world-class-city ambitions. However:
The mayor’s proposal also provides for $500,000 to build more sidewalks in the areas of Seattle that currently have none, particularly in the northern and southern ends of the city.
More than 500 miles of city streets remain without sidewalks, Nickels said in his speech.
Big city, indeed. Also in [...]

A little Austin Powers reference there, for all you fans.
I regret mentioning this on the show last night, but it’s important to point out that Al Qaeda’s Nubmer 2 man in Iraq was killed this week.
Many people see Al Qaeda as a many-headed hydra, and so tend to discount the importance of nabbing a high-ranking [...]
