Missouri Tea Party Provocateur Spills ‘Beans’ (Update)

April 17th, 2010 · 40 Comments

Yesterday, I was able to positively identify the two “party crashers” who cited free speech as their justification for interrupting speakers Thursday afternoon at the Tax Day Tea Party in downtown St. Charles, Mo.  Better still, I got one of them to “spill the beans” about the thinking behind his left-wing activism during a recent [...]

Harry Reid Has 188 African-American Facebook Fans, But Most Are Not African-Americans

January 12th, 2010 · No Comments

I went to the Facebook page, AFRICAN AMERICANS FOR HARRY REID, and found that most of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) fans — all 188 of them (as of 4:30 p.m. Central today) — were not African-Americans. That’s funny.  I thought Senator Reid’s apology to President Barack for making racial slurs about his skin [...]

Rumors Swirl Around Texas Tech Coaching Scandal (Update)

January 6th, 2010 · 15 Comments

Rumors are spreading fast and furiously among supporters of recently-fired Texas Tech University football coach Mike Leach.  But are they true?  I investigate. Perhaps the most-volatile rumor floating about is that Leach was ousted in a fashion similar to the one that cost John Kerry the presidency in 2004. Albeit in a much-abbreviated fashion, they [...]

I’ve Been Trashed by the Huffington Post (Update)

December 18th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Last night, I learned my blogging efforts had provoked a virtual attack by the folks at the ultra-liberal Huffington Post. Eight months ago, I began reporting on the bogus lawsuit Chevron Corporation has been fighting in Ecuador for more than 16 years.  To date, I’ve published more than a dozen posts about the case — [...]

Finally, News Outlets Report Ukrainian ‘Super Flu’

November 17th, 2009 · No Comments

Eight days ago, I posted a link on my Facebook wall to a Zero Hedge piece about a “super flu” 10 times more lethal than Swine Flu that had, at that time, affected nearly a million people in Ukraine. And I asked where the mainstream media was in its coverage — or lack thereof — [...]

New Video: ‘Obama Killed My Granny’

November 5th, 2009 · No Comments

While new videos featuring school children singing the praises of President Barack Obama seem to surface almost daily, the new video above is different in that it doesn’t feature any praise of the nation’s 44th president. Sent to me by a Facebook friend in my hometown of Enid, Okla., the video uses crayon drawings — [...]

Flashback: What BMW Looked Like Years Ago

September 3rd, 2009 · 4 Comments

After reading the UK Telegraph article, How 20 popular websites looked when they launched, I thought it might be interested to show what this blog looked like in its early days.  Below are Bob McCarty Writes home page screen shots from November 2006 and July 2007. Let me know what you think.  Has it improved?  [...]
