Thanks for the Record Profits, America!

Posted on 07/31/2008 at 8:53 am by Bob Cesca

Posted on 07/30/2008 at 12:13 pm by Bob Cesca

Another word used on cable news this morning to describe Senator Obama — and obviously not for the first time — was “messianic.” The barbecue media is all over this arrogant, cocky, presumptuous, hubristic narrative and I’m wondering where they … Continue reading →

They’re Imagining This

Posted on 07/30/2008 at 11:53 am by Bob Cesca

EDMONTON, Alberta — A chunk of ice spreading across seven square miles has broken off a Canadian ice shelf in the Arctic, scientists said Tuesday. No way. How could a liberal myth make an ice shelf break off? Let’s get … Continue reading →
