Should we party like it’s 1999? Probably not now. On March 29, 1999, MSNBC aired the promo below which contained a question many didn’t want to consider: “The Dow hits 10,000. Will it continue to soar or will it sour?” As the Dow hovers precariously close to the 10,000 range, the more-likely question about the [...]

February 9th, 2010 · 6 Comments
To date, I’ve never mentioned Joy Behar or Ron Reagan Jr. on this blog and hope never to mention either again. When they have their brainless heads handed to them by Atlas Shrugs founder and editor Pam Geller, however, I had to showcase the moment here. Watch below as they discuss Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan [...]

Liberal Veterans Group Stretches Truth in TV Spot
February 8th, 2010 · 3 Comments
Recently, VoteVets.org began running a television commercial designed to tear down Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) as he seeks the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Christopher “Kit” Bond (R-Mo.). Unfortunately for the folks from the liberal group purporting to represent veterans, my Kansas City friend Bungalow Bill did some research and found several holes [...]

Congressman John Murtha Dead at 77
February 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) has died at the age of 77 after succumbing to an infection following gall bladder surgery a few weeks ago. Aside from the fact that he served his country as a Marine in Vietnam, I can’t say that I liked him much. Still, his passing is newsworthy. Congressman Murtha first found [...]

Feds Fail to Issue Recall for Chevy Cobalt Despite More Complaints Per Vehicle Than Toyota
February 8th, 2010 · 5 Comments
