Companies And The Public Spectrum

2:49 pm EST September 27th, 2007 | News | 1 Comment

Do companies like Verizon really think they own the radio waves? Do they not understand that, while it’s hard to take them away, they lease the radio spectrum from us, the people? Jesus, H. I’m not a corporate basher by any margin, but sometimes…

Chuck on NBC

Did anybody watch it? The computer stuff was pretty preposterous, but I kind of liked the spy/action stuff enough to watch the second episode. This is also an excuse to post a picture of Yvonne Strahovski, who plays the spy femme fatale Sarah Walker.

The Inarguable Logic Of The Clinton Haters

How could you argue with these folks after they’ve laid out such a clear logic tree? If Hillary Clinton is elected president, we’re going to need universal healthcare just for all the sanitariums filled to capacity.

Mike Gravel: Why?

9:56 pm EST September 26th, 2007 | Democrats | 5 Comments

The guy has no money, no support, nothing. Yet, he keeps getting invited to these debates: why? He’s not a serious candidate, even Rep. Kucinich can show demonstrable support on a much higher level than Gravel. All Gravel does is throw crazy charges at the others, not substantive differences like Kucinich does, but just nutty stupid stuff. Get him out of there.

Making Fun Of Democrats, Daily Show Style

9:23 pm EST September 26th, 2007 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I feel compelled to post these because conservatives continue to push the idea that a) the Daily Show never makes fun of liberals/Democrats and b) conservatives can. Neither is true. I also want to point out for the liberals that the Daily Show is first and foremost a comedy show, and not designed to shill for any party. Like conservative attempts at humor that fail like Newsbusted, The 1/2 Hour News Hour, and Red Eye – when you put an agenda ahead of the funny, the funny will always always lose.

In this case it’s Jon Stewart making fun of Hillary Clinton’s laugh.

Rudy Giuliani Campaign Money Woes?

6:50 pm EST September 26th, 2007 | News | Comments Off

Oh no, looks like Rudy needs more distasteful, whorish “Give us $9.11″ fundraisers!

In a sign of potential money woes, Rudy Giuliani has fired his presidential campaign’s chief fundraiser and brought in a top rainmaker for President Bush, The Daily News has learned.
Anne Dunsmore, who took control of Giuliani’s day-to-day fundraising operation in May, has been replaced by Jim Lee, a Texas money man and Bush ally who is already one of Giuliani’s national finance co-chairs.
…

Coming just days before Sunday’s filing deadline, when candidates are expected to report how much money they’ve raised over the last three months, the departure suggests that Giuliani is less than happy with his most recent haul.

Bill Clinton, as usual, absolutely nails the Republican hypocrisy on MoveOn and details the GOP’s history of attacks on people in uniform like John Kerry and Max Cleland. Are you sure he can’t run again? Please?
