Open Thread Tuesday

I thought it was John Forsyth.

Oh its Larry Parks i was also thought him John Forsyth at the very first sight.

Barney Frank: "We are trying on every front to increase the role of government" (yes folks, on EVERY front).

WTF? I see a wascally libewal.

Really good interview with Charles Krauthammer

You just can't make this stuff up!

"Matthew Balan, MRC's CNN-watcher, joked that perhaps there's a new prime-time quiz show to be made: 'Are You Smarter Than a CNN Anchor?'"

oops, that should have been THERE, not THEIR.

That is a great interview. What a brilliant man.

Funny, I always had Barney pegged (no pun intended) as the creepy old guy who trolled SF bathhouses looking for "twinks," but only got politically aware once the city tried shutting those down in the late 70's…

Over on Drudge there's a link to an article about CNN coming in dead last in the ratings, yet again.

CNN's answer? They're not ideological enough.

Keep up the good work CNN! That's just what the free market wants, more of what they reject today!

The only person Elmer Fudd was a danger to was himself.

We're all in the cross hairs with Frank.

Krauthammer, an American original. Love him.

He is an interesting character, I've been following his work for several years.

What caught my eye was an essay he wrote condemning cell stem research that uses human embryos. He was a medical doctor who broke his neck in a motorcycle crash in the 1970's and he's paralyzed from the neck down. So he went into political analysis.

His essay was very moving, he said he would give anything to get out of that chair and walk again, except bequeath to his son a world where humans are created and harvested for the benefit of the living.

It was exactly my opinion, but I could never put it such appropriate words.

I'm telling you, people are getting sick of the lies and the spin perpetuated by the MSM, obviously it's starting to show in their ratings. If they get a bailout though that will be the last straw for them.

A few Obama jokes from the Patriot Post!

Obama Jokes

Q: What's the main problem with Barack Obama jokes?
A: His followers don't think they're funny and everyone else doesn't think they're jokes.

Q: Why does Barack Obama oppose the Second Amendment?
A: It stands between him and the First.

Q: What's the difference between Greta Van Susteren and Barack Obama?
A: Greta only talks out of one side of her mouth.

Q: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon?
A: A fund raiser.

Q: What's the difference between Obama's cabinet and a penitentiary?
A: One's full of tax evaders, blackmailers and threats to society. The other is for prisoners.

Q: What's the difference between a large pizza and the typical Obama backer?
A: The pizza can feed a family of four.

Q: What's another difference between Obama and Hitler?
A: Hitler got the Olympics to come to his country.

Q: Why doesn't Obama pray?
A: It's impossible to read the teleprompter with your eyes closed.

And now Pravda is running a front-page story saying that America has finally shed its capitalist shell and is making the final move toward socialism. This can mean only one thing: the people who work at Pravda are racists.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I just ate a warm roast beef and cheddar sandwich. Lord Stern can suck it! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment...

Those are awesome…. *lol*

Lord Stern will have to pry my ham and cheese on rye from my cold, dead hands.

Support the US Military!

I'm happy we now have a leader who can win at chess instead of one who loses at checkers.

I just saw the Michael Jackson movie. It's just 2 hours of him singing. There's not much behind the scenes action.

And oddly, there's no crew reaction to his death. In fact, no mention of his death.

The chess remark I heard recently somewhere and I thought it sounded accurate and I wanted to share.

Don't got an Obama joke right now, but do you remember when Dan Quayle and Bill Clinton had a spelling bee — and Quayle Won? Clinton thought 'harass" was 2 words.

Remember Donna Rice (Gary Hart's girlfriend?) Back in '88 they used to say that the main difference between Republican women and Democrat women was that Republican women gave their heart to Bush, and with Democrat women it was the other way around.

There you go! Applause!

Take a step back, lighten up, and enjoy life!

And I still want that Obama joke from you.

I read that "article" T-Rav and thought to myself.."gee they print it with such glee". Arsewipes anyway.

I've read a number of your posts EdSki you do pretty good Brother.

DC sniper Muhammad set to die by lethal injection

October '09 Ratings: Fox News Unchallenged at the Top
Fox News won every major ratings category in October, especially with its dominant prime time line-up.
In total day, FNC averaged 1.23M total viewers and 337k in the demo. In prime time, the averages are 2.59M and 692k, respectively, with no one else coming close.

The Huffington Post notes that the network had the top 11 programs in the A25-54 demo and the top 13 programs in total viewers. Bill O'Reilly was number one with 3.39M total viewers (875k in the demo), followed by "Glenn Beck" and "Hannity." As we've mentioned in the past, some of FNC's daytime programs, including "Happening Now," "Live Desk," and "Fox & Friends," outdraw all primetime programs on the other networks.

BLAM!!!!!!!!!

(Daffy'sbill spins round and round…)

Some societies are greater than others. They can be judged by how long they lasted, how much technology they produced, how much of their art still exists today, what civilizations they defeated, how much of their language and culture have permeated other cultures, and so on. There's a good book on this, it's called "In Defense of Elitism."

The book's thesis can be applied to thought: Some intellectual thought is more true, more profound, and more meaningful. Other thoughts are less true or meaningful. Ideologies can be graded based on a number of things: What actions, if any, do these ideas call for? What do leaders do when they follow these ideas? What societies are built on these ideas, and what have they accomplished? Have the adoption of these ideas led to progress or the decline of these societies?
(to be continued)

When the founders adopted the constitution in 1792, we saw such progress for the next two centuries that it made up for the past 2000 years of stagnation in the dark ages. Now that we are adopting unabashed socialism here, with Obama's election, we are seeing our financial system fall apart and our nation's solvency come into question.

Liberal ideas of wealth redistribution are only a few seconds older than human ideas of providing for one's own self. But the difference is one works because it the labor that produces the wealth is powered by human desire for wealth. The other is powered by envy, is easily fueled by demagogues, and labor does not enter into the equation. This is yet another half-baked idea that is as old as the cave man. And if I may stereotype the cave man without offending anyone, just as dumb.

Barack Obama applied for a job. They gave him a mop and said clean up this mess.

5 minutes later, they came back and said, you were supposed to be done yesterday.
