Till now I haven’t had much to say about Ford, Jr.’s church ad (view it here); in fact a friend (after church) recently commented on how offensive he thought it was and I just changed the subject. For the record, I think it is an effective ad (whether or not it is “fair” or [...]
Over at TVnewser they’ve posted about the use of question-marked captions (or as the Jon Stewart show has termed them, “Cavutos”) to slant news coverage (see here). They believe that the captions about about Chavez in the past week are proof positive of FoxNews’ Conservatively-biased reporting. I expect rabid criticism [...]
I just read an AP report, here, that the Ford, Jr. campaign helped spread the word of Ford, Jr.’s non-endorsement by the American Atheists (AA) by distributing the AA press release to media in Tennessee.
This might amount to an in-kind donation . . .
I know that everyone is commenting on Chris Wallace’s interview with Bill Clinton and someone else may have already said this, but it seemed odd to me that Clinton refers to the military battle in Somalia by the movie term “Blackhawk Down.” I think the man is obsessed with “image over substance.” He [...]
Here’s an angle on Rangel that’s newfangled . . . not really, but I kind of overlooked the fact that Chavez was donating heating fuel to poor American communities. Chavez’ offer of charity is rich given the poverty of all but the ruling class in Venezuela. What propaganda. Are they not either [...]
News today that the American Atheists are refusing to endorse Ford, Jr. to replace Frist. Though this will potentially boost Ford, Jr.’s candidacy, it also has the feel of a man bites dog story because it highlights the fact that the Democrat Party–Ford, Jr.’s party, is the Atheists’ party of choice.
It is interesting to see the Democrat media machine in full damage control mode as evidence surfaced of a backlash from Hugo Chavez’ outrageous comments on Tuesday–a backlash that reasonably began to reflect poorly on Chavez’ peanut gallery among the American Left. In particular, Charlie Rangel was sent out to criticize Chavez and Drudge’s [...]
Here’s–over at Slate, a cool “graphic” presentation of the 9/11 Commission report.
The Nashville City Paper reports here that Governor Phil Bredesen has filed suit against the Judicial Selection Commission’s re-submission of Houston Gordon’s name for consideration to replace retiring Justice Adolfo Birch. I’ll write more about this in a subsequent post, but Tennessee’s form of judicial selection (“The Tennessee Plan”) pretty clearly is unconstitutional (and [...]
The Commercial Appeal digs for data in the most recent FEC filings of Bob Corker and Harold Ford, Jr.–in a Wednesday article, and there were at least three things are apparent from the reports: the Lefty Hollywood/NY axis is really pulling for Ford, Jr.; this ain’t your father’s Democrat Party; and Ford, Jr. has [...]
