SNL mocks Obama during his visit to China

NBC recently pulled this video off of youtube, citing "copyright issues". Ha!

A letter to Martha

Dear Martha,

I have been a faithful subscriber to your Living magazine for almost 7 years now. I saved and treasured every issue and have also sent subscriptions over to friends and family as gifts.

I caught your interview with CNN recently where you claimed Sarah Palin was "dangerous" and "boring".

Without regret I am refusing to renew my subscription to Living. As a working class conservative mother to two young children, Sarah Palin is more in touch with us average Americans than Hollywood celebrities, Washington elitists or you, Ms. Stewart.

Sincerely,
C**** K****

Citizens unite!

Good for you, Chicago tea-party goers.

This is why CNN stinks

I've been wondering why mainstream media has largely refused to cover the tea parties that had been sprouting up all over the nation, finally culminating over 800+ tea parties extravaganza on April 15th. I've come to realise that the reason why they've refused to recognize this phenomenon is because they disagree with us. I give you Susan Roesgen, from CNN.



... and the same Roesgen, competent journalist that she is, who had no problem stating that a mask that is a cross between Satan and Hitler is a "Bush look-alike."



Shame on you, CNN.

Fishkill (NY) Tea party

Eye-catching slogans that evening:

CNN, YOU SUCK!

I DON'T PAY MY TAXES EITHER. THAT MEANS I QUALIFY TO BE A CABINET MEMBER

JAIL BARNEY FRANK

DON'T SPREAD MY WEALTH. SPREAD MY WORK ETHIC

DRINK TEA, NOT KOOLAID!

p.s.: CNN, you *do* suck.

Whoops!

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano is now making a news tour to apologize to our veterans and veteran groups that have been offended by the DHS assessment that had been released around April 7th. On CNN's web site, she made it a point that the nation's largest combat veterans group, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), defended the report.

Busy as I am, I just had to look that up. Read the whole statement.

In essence, the VFW said that the DHS is doing its job and that it made no blanket accusation of that every soldier was capable of being a terrorist; but that they were not pleased with the wording of the report and "hopes DHS tones down the disgruntled military veteran angle in its next edition, and includes other professionals who have paramilitary training, such as the police, Secret Service, FBI, and DHS' own Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.".

No "blanket accusation"? I'm not so sure. Here's a paragraph from pg. 7 of the DHS report:

(U) Disgruntled Military Veterans

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

So did VFW really defend the report? You decide.
