What is the difference between MSNBC and Fox News?   Nothing!  They are both fair and balanced.  Fox just hypes that a bit more.  OK, you’re suspect I’ve been sampling the Kool-aid, aintcha? Read more…

No, not heading out on a world cruise.   I am not talking about the Queen Elizabeth II.  This is my teaser.  I will be back after the weather report and some commercials.   Who says you can learn something from the 6 o’clock news?

I never did figure out why it went happy talk news though.  The South Bend station shows its teleprompter at times and the transitions are noted [AD LIB] at which point the they switch from inane new to inane banter.   Wish that was where I was headed.  NO! DON”T GO THERE!! Read more…

Reality

First quick thought is the reality is a bitch one.  Science says we manipulate it.  Observing somehow changes it.   Proof seems available with that damn cat that is part of the long list of those who poo-poo our grip on reality.  I’m not sure how or if reality relates to today — THE  FOURTH.  Founding fathers in reality didn’t walk on water.  Today’s politicians are often the basis for the disruption that causes more of it.  It is the season of stump speechifying.  Read more…

Rich Bastards

Well, Barak doesn't quite go that far but the idea is connoted. He really PO'd that the tax breaks are also going to those rich [insert invective here] and that tramples us common folk with greater needs. Read more…

I'm not a sports fan in general. You won't be getting my weekend picks. And, near the bottom of that list is baseball. This is an ideal point for one of my pointless rants – or to steal from an A-lister, D-Bags.

 

Baseball for some unknown to me reason, has fans. My Dad was one but the baseball gene didn't get passed on. So, with my bias/genetics defined: Read more…

Who hasn't used some worn out old excuse to cover up their negligence?  Yes, I'm as guilty as the next guy as long as the next guy isn't in Washington. Read more…

The Senator isn’t usually one of my favorite politicians. Wisconsin is a more liberal state than mine and their selection of senators seems to reflect that. But, they do maintain traditional values more than some eastern neighbors. Neither is the news full of their fiscal fiascos like the state that separates us, Illinois. Read more…
