You Won't See This on MSNBC

How long can this money grub ask us to believe that he has taken the vow of poverty? Recently he has repeated the silly "forsake the filthy lucre" theme at Arizona State. The perks of the presidency are estimated at $50 million/year if you are keeping track of those things.

OBAMA FORSAKING RICHES FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY

They Don't Make Texans Like They Used To

CHECK OUT CHE AT 0:15

Obama Comrades

To all the brave people who gave their blood, sweat, toil and tears fighting totalitarism, your struggle was not in vain. Doh!

AND WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR OLD FLAG?

Arrogance or Eltism: You Decide

Also, "Law and Order" is the most overrated show in the history of television. The acting sucks too.

WE'RE CELEBRITIES. WE KNOW MORE THAN YOU DO

The Return of the Party Pooper

What is discouraging is that Kroft later had Obama himself on "60 Minutes" and completely sidestepped this isssue.

EVERY PARTY HAS A POOPER THAT'S WHY WE INVITED YOU,

Bad Career Move

It would be interesting to check back from time to time to see whose career has better vital signs: Sykes or Mason.

A Brilliant Career Move

Capsule of routine: A few good lines but ultimately it decended into "Our side good, their side mean." How many people actually heard of Sykes before this? I only knew her from "Curb Your Enthusiasm." It was brilliant in many respects. It got media attention. It bashed Limbaugh and by and large it was more Obama kiss kiss than Obama funny. There is more money in cheerleading than in comedy. Ask Maher, Rock, Letterman about their brilliant career moves.

Wanda Sykes

It might surprise the reader but I like parts of this routine. My opinion on humor and offensiveness is pretty simple, if not simplistic: You can get away with anything if you are funny. Howard Stern and Howie Carr break EVERY rule. They get away with it because they are funny. Anthony and Opie...not so much. Imus was not run off the air for offensive comments. Imus was habitually unfunny. If he was half as funny as Stern his comments would be a blip on the radar screen.

Is this offensive? Yes, in parts it is. but I love the comments starting at 1:56.

To Know Him is to Love Him

MEDIA LOVE AFFAIR SET TO AN APPROPRIATE THEME

Nice Montage

If McCain's team had made more vids like this, they might have gotten their guy elected.

Bias Cuts Both Ways

Sure, the media favor Obama. But what about those uppity, elitist Marines? The few, the proud, by their own admission.

TWO PRESIDENTS, ONE MARINE CORPS

We Aren't Biased

We just love Obama as much as we hate Republicans.

Get it straight, Republicans. You cannot win another election if you curry favor with these people. Their minds are made up. The deck is stacked. Bring your own deck of cards or you will lose!

Roesgen Redux

This is a rehash of a previous post, "One Reporter, Two Presidents" but it also has commentary that is worthwhile.
