New Comedy Central show pushes the envelope

And by pushing the envelope, I mean is playing it safe.

How do you play it safe?

By making fun of Christians.  No problem there.

Get ready to enjoy some “JC”:

As part of the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers… the network is set to announce “JC,” a half-hour show about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his “powerful [...]

9.7% unemployment good news? Must be a Democrat in office!

From the Hot Air link, we read that columnist Tommy Christopher sees that March jobs reports, which has unemployment holding at 9.7%, is super-duper good!

The headline:

March Jobs Report Good News for America, Bad News for GOP

All right!

Nothing like being a hair under double-digit unemployment to get those happy shivers going down your spine.

White House Press [...]

The Health Care Albatross and some advice for the Dems

albatross-l-stare

Old Nancy seems to be limping her way ever closer to her goal of 216.  She swears she’s got the votes to get this done, and probably by tomorrow afternoon, barring some other delay, we’ll know whether it’s still safe to get sick in this country or not. 

But with them so close to their goal, we [...]

For those of you blatantly ignoring the recession…

I bring you PlaySeats.

They have a variety of different styles, for both racing and flying simulations. 

Please be prepared to drop about a grand on anything worthwhile. 

Oh, and here’s some video so you can see it in action.  And salivate.

I know you’re reaching for your checkbook now.  Don’t have to pretend.

Brooks: Obama can't get anything done, so he's a moderate, or something

David Brooks swings so wildly back-and-forth in some of his opinion pieces, I’m surprised his glasses haven’t flown off.  One moment, the liberal commenters on his NYT posts call him a crazed right-winger, and the next moment republican commenters are saying he’s a radical leftist media-type.  I guess to be a moderate, which Brooks is [...]

Greece: Our Crystal Ball?

For the past few months, we’ve had the opportunity to watch the people of Greece participate in a near-freefall of their economy and social system.  There’s riots and protests and flaming bottles and overturned cars and heads stomped by horses.  And while I don’t think they’re nice enough to be doing all of this for [...]

True Grit remake. Oh god, no.

True-Grit

It’s coming. 

The Coen brothers have apparently decided to move on from the mostly incomprehensible Cormac McCarthy to American icons. 

I’ve heard about this for a while, but I’m just now starting to hear some names trickle out, and it’s got me in a cold sweat. 

Jeff Bridges as Rooster.  Yes, that’s right.  The Dude with an eyepatch [...]

In his weekly radio address, Obama talked about the Christmas Day terrorist attempt aboard Northwest Flight 253. 

An al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen apparently ordered the Christmas Day plot against a U.S. airliner, training and arming the 23-year-old Nigerian man accused in the failed bombing, President Barack Obama said Saturday.

In the address, the [...]

The Gitmo shell-game continues

We dropped a few on Palau. 

Shipped some to New York. 

How about if you flatlanders in Illinois get ready for your share now, too? 

The Land of Lincoln may still be licking its wounds–and certain real estate transactions–over Chicago’s losing the Olympics to Rio, but the Obama Administration has delivered up a small consolation prize: the state’s [...]

The absolute scariest thing I've seen in a very long time...

nuke01

You’ve gotta’ hand it to the libs…  they play hardball.  When they step out on to the field, it’s no-nonsense, winner-take-all.  They don’t sweat things like your freedom, or the democratic process that’s served us well for the past, oh, two hundred or so years.  At least not if any of these things are between [...]
