David Souter – Thanks For Waiting
Rumor has it that Supreme Court Justice David Souter is going to take his robe off.
Insofar as Souter was appointed by George H. W. Bush I think it’s telling sweet that he waited until a Democrat was in the White House before he did so.
Give to The Matthew Shepard Foundation in the Name of Virginia Foxx
You heard the news.
Give what you can — be it $1 or $100 — to The Matthew Shepard Foundation with a h/t to Virginia Foxx.
Comca$t
Just paid the Comca$t bill. $70+. It seems like yesterday when it was $35. Love that free market deregulation that was supposed to increase competition and drive costs down.
Fox News Calling Carrie Prejean
She’d fit right in with their other girls reporters.
(Screen shot from the homepage of FoxNews.com taken @ 11:15 p.m. ET on 4-30-09, more than a day after the boob-job story came to light (see above) .)
“National Council for a New America”
It was one of the big, BIG stories today but ah, do they have a website?
Can’t find one as of this evening. Let me know.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they blew another big one.
“Swinophobes” – The Headline on FoxNews.com
This would be the headline on FoxNews.com @ 6:58 p.m. ET:
Hey, Obama’s just trying to get attention with this flu virus garbage so why not have some fun with it, huh?
Lots of News Organizations Didn’t Get Called on Last Night
Fox wants to know why they didn’t get called on during last night’s news conference.
I don’t presume to know that Obama intentionally ignored Fox (but in my heart of hearts I’d like to think he did). Nonetheless, this whining by news organizations about who gets called on and who doesn’t is already getting old. Hey, “far left” liberal host Ed Schultz didn’t get called on either.
I don’t know how many news organizations were represented last night but surely there were dozens. Obama only took, what, maybe 10 questions? So lots of news outlets were passed over.
I suspect that over time Obama will try to call on everyone and there will be times when the spoiled brats who are used to being called on every single freakin’ time will just have to sit it out.
Geez.
Cat Fight
There are times when I want to tear my hair out at stories about First Dog Bo or what Michelle Obama wore, but suffering through those is nothing compared to what’s going on in Italy.
