The New Spokesperson for Tolerance

by Jeffrey Jena

Irony is my favorite type of humor. Here’s a great example: while the leftists try to paint conservatives as shallow, small-minded and unwilling to compromise, their most unfunny, close-minded and shrill spokesperson sits for a chat with the ex-ESPN employee who is the least welcome in any MLB locker room.

I caught the love fest of bringing us together and change we can believe in the other night on Olbermann. OK, I didn’t watch it live because I don’t have a very strong stomach. If I watch Mr. Warmth for more than twelve seconds I need to have not eaten for at least seven hours. His guest was alleged comedienne Janeane Garafolo. Why is it that liberal comedians are so unfunny and poorly spoken when they are off script?  Maybe they are just following in Obama’s footsteps. I have liberal friends who swear that she’s some sort of comic genius. She may be but why doesn’t she use her Oscar Wilde/Dorothy Parker razor sharp wit to make her points? Why is name calling and anger her modus operandi? (more…)

Excuse Me, Your Leftism is Showing

by Jeffrey Jena

On March 2nd there was a demonstration in Washington D.C. It was billed as the largest demonstration for green power/global warming awareness/stop dirty coal/ let’s all go live in a tepee, ever held. It was attended by, (are you ready for the number?), 2,500 people. That was the largest one ever! This demonstration was covered by every major television and news service. No station or alleged newspaper gave any coverage to opposing opinions. Ironically there was a blizzard that day another fact which, to the best of my knowledge, was not noted by any major news outlet.

Thirteen days later one of the first of the grassroots “Tea Parties” was held in Cincinnati Ohio. Over five thousand average middle-class folks showed up on Fountain Square in the center of the city. Their message was simple, we can’t afford our government! Did you see it on CNN? Maybe you caught it on ABC or MSNBC? If you did you need to check the strength of your prescriptions, it wasn’t on any of them. In fact, the overwhelming success of this protest against rampant, run away big government was one of the inspirations for yesterday’s national day of protest. But unless you live in Cincinnati you probably never heard about it. (more…)
