Michele Bachman Gives Chris Matthews a History Lesson

Chris Matthews once again embarrasses himself with an unhinged and ill-informed attack on Rep. Michele Bachmann in this clip. The entire basis for his idiotic attacks, repeatedly calling her a “balloonhead,” stems from Bachmann claiming that the Founders, also mentioning

Olbermann: Just Another Cash-Hungry Capitalist

So just like me, MSNBC had an irritating organ removed from its lower midsection. Yes, Keith Olbermann is gone. So people are obviously wondering – who’s going to replace Olby? My suggestion: the great Brian Dunkleman. He is an American

MSNBC Host on Republicans: 'They're Just Awful'

Responding to Newsweek’s Jonathon Alter litany of government spending on infrastructure throughout the history of America and then lamenting that Republican’s are against new spending on such things, host Chris Matthews got very excited and jumped in with “They’re just

Sheriff Dupnik Faces Voter Recall

Greg Sargent's Odd Eisegesis of Obama's Speech

Greg Sargent at the Post had an interesting theory on the real meaning of Obama’s memorial speech: It’s true that Obama stated clearly there that rhetoric didn’t cause the shooting. But these lines are best understood as a set up

Gun Control, Self Control, and Tone Control

I am a firm believer that the nug behind the gun is what needs controlling. I also believe that automatic weapons, street sweepers and 31 round mags should be reserved for the good guys. But one restriction always leads to

Maddening Rhetoric

This was a madman. The activist old media will work overtime to lay the blame for the tragic shooting in Arizona yesterday at the feet of conservatives because that is the only template they have. They will ignore the facts

Credit Where It's Due: Cracked.com

I don’t care if some folks classify it as a foul-mouthed, left-leaning website. It’s a funny site. Most of us can get over politics enough to appreciate humor. Reader Jordan sent this link to Cracked’s list of “9 Major Stories

Broadway Less Tolerant of Gay Diversity Than GOP

It’s impossible to work in the theatre industry and not have colleagues, business partners and life-long friends who are gay. I have always viewed this fact as one of the most wonderful and enriching dynamics of the theatre community. It’s

Witnessing the De-Klein

I know it’s MSNBC and everything, but I still had difficulty believing I actually witnessed this clip on Breitbart TV of a silly little man saying the Constitution is irrelevant and confusing because it’s, like, more than 100 years old.

2010: The Entertainment Industry's PC Year in Review
