You’ve Got To Be Joking.

I read this today, and sprayed coffee on a formerly clean computer monitor, so be forewarned. Apparently, CBS wishes beyond all hope to win the main stream media race to reach the very bottom and most obviously biased news organization contest. They must have declared all evidence of intelligence will heretofore be hidden. They must be hard at work trying to woo Will Ferrell to the network in order to read the news as his Ron Burgandy Character. The reason for my laughter today? CBS reported in a serious manner today that Sarah Palin is going to create traffic accidents by not supplying the press with her schedule. It would seem as though the main stream media feels that Governor Palin owes them a complete accounting of her time, so that they can adequately destroy her image in any endeavor on which she embarks.

Driving around the country in this big ass bus is a little to hard for the investigative professionals in our national press corps keep up with. MSNBC has at least shown that it is possible to go too far with biased reporting by firing Keith Olberman, and suspending Ed Shultz. They have limits, weak as they may be. CBS, not so much. America is having accidents on its roadways according to CBS, and it is Sarah Palin’s fault. Beyond the lunacy of a supposed news gathering organization whining about the lack of cooperation of a private citizen who has not asked for, nor shown any expectation of receiving their publicity, why should Governor Palin give these imbeciles so much as a seconds thought? 30 months ago, they savaged her in their little and petty club. I can still remember Charlie Gibson looking down his nose through his prop glasses like a college professor lecturing Governor Palin on the proper definition of the Bush Doctrine which by the way, he got incredibly wrong. Tina Fey’s admittedly funny performance on SNL is still quoted by a cackling media and Arnold, not Kennedy, Schwartzenegger as though it were actually attributable to Palin. Personally, I don’t blame Mrs. Palin one bit for not wanting anything to do with a group who has demonstrated ill will and a complete lack of fairness. I don’t believe she will be able to win the Presidency, nor even the Republican Nomination while having a complete press avoidance strategy, but that is the business of Sarah Palin, and nobody else.

In short, quit your whining CBS. and try objectively reporting the news for a change, people might actually watch your dumb little news show then.

    @ huckfunn:

    The self importance of these fools is amazing. How dare she treat us as though we were members of some other profession? The sheer nerve of Governor Palin not bowing down to us and begging for our precious coverage as other political types before her.

    I don’t know if she is going to run, or win, or what. But I do know that I love this story. America flunks its national driving test, Sarah Palin to blame, news at 11.

    Turkey defends plans to restrict access to websites
    Published: 05.31.11, 23:44 / Israel News

    Turkey’s government has defended a new regulation that will filter the Internet and restrict access to websites that show pornography, bomb-making and violent content. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said Tuesday that among websites the government wants restricted are also those “explaining how to kill your wife.”

    Well it’s a Muslim Country after all, don’t all men already know how to kill their wives?

    Before Brian Lamb created one of the largest cable television networks, he was in the Navy fielding questions from the country’s biggest broadcast stations.

    It was his experiences in the Navy that prepared him to create and lead C-SPAN, providing an unobstructed view into Congress, public events and historical matters. And if it wasn’t for the four years he did in the Navy he most likely would have an extremely different life, he said.

    In September, Lamb will receive the Lone Sailor award from the U.S. Navy Memorial, which recognizes those with exceptional civilian careers after an early start in the sea services.

    Five other men will also receive the award:

    • Beau, Jeff and the late Lloyd Bridges are famous as actors, directors and producers in television, film and theater. All three also served in the Coast Guard.
    • Jerry Coleman, a former Marine aviator, notched four World Series wins as a second baseman for New York Yankees, and is a longtime radio voice of the San Diego Padres

    • Bob Feller, a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, will receive the award posthumously. He served in the Navy during World War II.

    Why would the GOP bring it to the floor knowing that they had more than enough votes to kill it? Simple: To make the Democrats choke on it, of course. The public is on the GOP’s side of this issue, unambiguously, and with plenty of independent support, so this was Boehner’s way of twisting a few center-left arms and building negotiating leverage for spending cuts with Obama.

    Kids planning to attend San Diego’s July 4 celebration may want to go elsewhere after a judge ruled that anyone wanting to shoot off fireworks in the city is bound by California’s environmental laws
    City spokesman Alex Roth on Friday said the city plans to appeal the ruling by San Diego Superior Court Judge Linda Quinn. The judge ruled that the city’s annual firework celebration requires evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, SignonSanDiego.com reports.
    The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed by lawyer Marco Gonzalez — which Roth and others called shameless.
    “According to the strictest interpretation of this, jumpy-jumps and everything else would be subject to environmental review if this ruling stands,” lawyer Robert Howard, who represented the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, told SignonSanDiego.com. “It’s a breathtaking ruling.”
    But Gonzalez claims the La Jolla Cove fireworks show generates noise and debris that harms sea life in a nearby marine sanctuary.
    Fireworks organizers fear the ruling will require them to do costly environmental impact reports before receiving city permits.
    “San Diego issues thousands of these simple park-use permits over the counter with the only consideration being space, just as other cities do across the state,” City Attorney Jan Goldsmith told the website.
    “Existing law has never been interpreted to require a CEQA review for this. … This decision opens the door to absurd results. This is the reason appellate courts exist and we plan to ask for their help,” Goldsmith reportedly said

    The state of California could collect more than $1 billion a year by taxing Amazon and other online retailers if a bill approved by the Assembly becomes law.

    Assemblyman Charles Calderon, a Democrat from Whittier, says his legislation doesn’t impose a new sales tax, but extends one that California should already have been enforcing.

    AB155 passed, 47-16, with the support of one GOP lawmaker Tuesday. It now heads to the Senate

    Shit you gotta keep your Weiner in your pants or some Democrat will Tax it or take a picture of it

    A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a
    local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young
    idealistic liberal ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant
    Major for conversation.

    “Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man.. Is
    something bothering you?”

    “Negative, ma’am. Just serious by nature..”

    The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, “It looks like
    you have seen a lot of acti on.”

    “Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.”

    The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, “You
    know, you should lighten up a little.. Relax and enjoy yourself.”

    The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the
    young lady said, “You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but
    when was the last time you had sex?”

    “1955, ma’am.”

    “Well, there you are. No wonder you’re so serious. You really need to chill
    out and relax! I mean no sex since 1955! Com e with me.” She took his hand
    and led him to a private room where she proceeded to “relax” him several
    times.

    Afterward, panting for breath, she leaned against his grizzled bare chest
    and said, “Wow, you sure didn’t

    forget much since 1955.”

    The Sergeant Major said in his serious voice, after glancing at his watch,
    “I hope not; it’s only 2130 now.”

    How desperate are they to come up with negatives about Sarah? If anyone creates a traffic hazard it will be the stupid reporters chasing her around asking her the same dumb question over and over again which she has answered again and again!
