Stephanie Miller On The Ed Show

Hey, have ya seen Rush's little New York apartment? Apparently it's for sale (or has been sold, whatevuh!). Check out the interior design themes...just a few more examples of his regular guyness. He's jus' folks!



And who can forget this?! Oh, the things our local radio brings to us.

Meet The Vanderboegh

It's important to understand that there are people in this country who are actively calling for the use of violence against those they disagree with. It's important to understand how those calling for the use of violence to spread their messages. It's important to know who gins up the hatred.

Start with this:



Then this.

Then this.

See how it works? Thank goodness we have WXIT 1200 AM to serve as the local megaphone for violence.

Harsh Reality

Conservatives, reality can sometimes be harsh:

WASHINGTON — Americans by 9 percentage points have a favorable view of the health care overhaul that President Obama signed into law Tuesday, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, a notable turnaround from surveys before the vote that showed a plurality against it.

By 49%-40% those surveyed say it was "a good thing" rather than a bad one that Congress passed the bill. Half describe their reaction in positive terms, as "enthusiastic" or "pleased," while about four in 10 describe it in negative ways, as "disappointed" or "angry." The largest single group, 48%, calls the bill "a good first step" that should be followed by more action on health care.

...

Now if we can just get goblowridge.newt to balance its coverage of healthcare by interviewing politicians who represent the majority of public opinion in these here United States, that would be nice. Oh, and maybe some syndicated talk programming that doesn't refer to the newly passed healthcare bill (law!!) in the same breath as declaring that healthcare reform has led to the death of democracy.

The Free Market Speaketh Againeth

Who can possibly argue with the wisdom of the great private sector? Certainly not Glenn Beck--or FOX:

...
More than 200 companies have joined a boycott of Beck's program, making it difficult for Fox to sell ads. The time has instead been sold to smaller firms offering such products as Kaopectate, Carbonite, 1-800-PetMeds and Goldline International. A handful of advertisers, such as Apple, have abandoned Fox altogether. Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers...

We fully expect the free market worshiping Mr. Beck to fold up his show in light of the decision rendered by his heroes. Your former sponsors have behaved rationally, Mr. Beck--now we expect you to do the same.

Here They Come Again

Geez. Take a week off and look what comes out of the woodwork--more domestic terrorists:

Last night, a California man armed with two semiautomatic weapons and “many magazines” of ammunition opened fire on police officers at the entrance to the Pentagon, wounding two before being killed by police. The shooter, 36-year-old John Patrick Bedell, was “well dressed in a suit” and “very calm,” walking “very directly to the officers” before engaging them, a police spokesman said. Bedell “appears to have been a right-wing extremist with virulent antigovernment feelings,” the Christian Science Monitor reports, who traveled from California specifically to attack the Pentagon. While police were hesitant to assign a motive, “writings by someone with his same name and birth date, posted on the Internet, express ill will toward the government and the armed forces...
...
In a post, Bedell urged potential collaborators to contact him at an email address with the domain name @mises.com -- which belongs to the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, a libertarian think tank with ties to Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX). A Mises senior fellow led an official event at CPAC last month. Bedell's connection -- if any -- to Mises is unclear, though he was also a "fan" of the organization on Facebook.
...

Libertarian terrorism? What would Neal Boortz say? Ron Paul? How about Ron Paul's supporters? All those folks who took to the streets to support Mr. Paul by waving signs at the intersection of the 105 Extension and U.S. 321?

How about these upstanding citizens?

An evangelical Christian hate group called “Repent Amarillo” is reportedly terrorizing the town of Amarillo, Texas. Repent fashions itself as a sort of militia and targets a wide range of community members they deem offensive to their theology: gays, liberal Christians, Muslims, environmentalists, breast cancer events that do not highlight abortion, Halloween, “spring break events,” and pornography shops. On its website, Repent has posted a “Warfare Map” of its enemies in town.

Army of God? Genuinely scary.
