Month: February 2005

Help! MY EYES! MY EYES!

Parents want to delay the start of the 2005-06 school year. Why?

Burning Man.

Uh…well they’re only a week or so late. The blogosphere has been talking about this for quite awhile now. If you need proof, Malkin owns this story. Go there and scroll down to the EasonGate stuff.

“I am not a flip-flopper on anything.”
                            — John F. Kerry, February 2005

Hillary poised to run for office in 2008. Gee, that’s news. What is amazing though is the hidden messages in her recent faintings speeches, which appear to reveal a reprise of her first love, socialized medicine.

Hillary Clinton is meticulously laying the groundwork for a presidential bid in 2008, evident in her recent round of ambitious speeches. The media was too busy reporting on her illness last week to notice a revealing speech she gave in Buffalo the day she fell sick, a speech in which she essentially renewed her call for Hillary Care.

Any column that highlights Hillary’s truth twisting is worth the read. Makson does a decent job here, but alas, the article is in The American Spectator, and not the New York Times (yes, I know, wishful thinking).

Meanwhile, Bubba (busy paying for his bimbo sins) is out shovelin the same  crap message.

Government subsidized healthcare for everyone! Has everyone forgotten 1992 when Bill put Hillary in charge of healthcare? Is there no one in the Democratic party who will stand up to Billary and demand a new focus, not a rehashed platform from the Clintonian years? Will Howard Dean have the juevos rancheros to chew these two up and spit ’em out?

I doubt it.

“Chutch“.

I don’t buy it.

GoDaddy.com spends $5 million dollars to air one commercial twice during the Super Bowl yesterday. Trouble is, it only ran once, due to a decision by Fox execs and skittish NFL brass who thought the subject matter was a little too intense. Now GoDaddy is evaluating their legal options, even though they’re getting ten times the exposure now that the “story” is catching on in the media. I saw the ad and frankly, it was lame. The larger story is the wimpiness of the NFL. What’s worse, the game is now known more for it’s linkage to Janet Jackson than its exhibition of superior athletic talent. I think that stinks. Today, it’s less about football and more about the six hour pregame coverage, the pregame musical entertainment (Charlie Daniels, Earth Wind and Fire, mixed with Black Eyed Peas – whatsupwiththat?), the “aged Hollywood actor married to a babe” on the field narration, the trotting out of ex-presidents who hate each other, the exploitation of blind kids, the excessive strobe light fog machine team introductions, the constant camera shots of has been celebrities in the stands, the pre-halftime entertainment, the schmaltzy halftime pop music (OK, I am a Beatles fan, so Paul McCartney gets a pass, even if he’s 102 years old now), the constant OVER-HYPE of every minute of broadcast time, along with the CONSTANT AFOREMENTIONED COMMERCIALS.

Everything went to pot after Super Bowl X and that freakin “Up With People” halftime show.

Super Bowl III, where art thou?

I’m busy with the day job today, so no bloggin until tonight.

I’m back on American soil.
