NY Underground Comedy Festival Shows

Posted on August 18th, 2010 by Kruiser

I’m in Manhattan for the New York Underground Comedy Festival the next few days. Long time fans know I don’t exit the bunker for live shows as much as I used to so here’s a chance to see if I know how to function in public. Wednesday, 08/18/10: 9:00 PM “Politics Left, Right, Wrong” Cornelia [...]

CNN Gets Caught Committing Journalism

Posted on May 13th, 2010 by Kruiser

The actual headline: When in Buffalo, Obama orders wings A press corps that never wondered aloud why a man who wanted to be president hung out with commie radicals displays unhealthy obsessives tendencies regarding The Lightbringer’s gastronomic goings-on. That flushing sound you hear is the MSM getting rid of its responsible application of First Amendment [...]

I would say kazillions but President Obama might think it’s an actual number and try to work it into the next budget. Here’s the deal, kids: after a year of being deeply involved in the Tea Party movement and following the psychotic disconnect that’s been parading as news coverage and commentary regarding it, I’m finally [...]

The Supreme Court Hates Puppies

Posted on April 20th, 2010 by Kruiser

Finally, they all just got along. Let’s begin by acknowledging that any kind of animal cruelty is vile. This being SCOTUS, however, means it’s not really about the particular subject but the underlying Constitutionality. As Ed says, the fact that all but one were on board with this is stunning in the era where the [...]

Update: Maricopa County Manager David Smith Is All Blogged Up

Posted on October 28th, 2009 by Stephen Kruiser

This was supposed to be a one post affair. But after a round of posts by some co-bloggers (links here at Blue Collar Muse) and some attention from Hot Air, it was obvious that someone in David Smith’s office had their panties very much in a wad. Perhaps we didn’t fly under the radar because [...]

White House & Fox News: Get A Room

Posted on October 28th, 2009 by Stephen Kruiser

All good things must come to an end. Looks like the White House decided to stop its feud with Fox News while CNN and MSNBC still have a dozen or so viewers to split between them. From Mediaite: Mediaite has confirmed a meeting between Fox News and the White House took place today, and an [...]

"Big Tent" Plague: AZ GOP Tool David Smith Goes After Bloggers

Posted on October 28th, 2009 by Stephen Kruiser

(UPDATE: The story keeps gaining national traction. Both Instapundit & Hot Air have posts about it now.) Hey, they keep telling us we need to act more like Democrats, right? Some disturbing heavy-handed, speech squashing thuggish garbage is going on in Maricopa County in my native state of Arizona. It seems that the county Board [...]

Wimp House vs Fox News II: It's Not Just Me

Posted on October 22nd, 2009 by Stephen Kruiser

Mr. President, you’re embarrassing the friendlies now. There’s only one thing dumber than picking a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel — picking a fight with people who don’t even have to buy ink. The Obama administration’s war on Fox News is dumb on multiple levels. It makes the White House look [...]

Obama vs. Fox: Sack Up, Lightbringers

Posted on October 20th, 2009 by Stephen Kruiser

Much to their chagrin, the Obama message makers haven’t been able to put the clamps on foreign media yet. Ms. Gutmann trots out some curiously older examples of the plunge off the left edge of sanity by the LA Times and CBS but didn’t provide any of the six hundred million or so she could [...]

Hope and Soviet: Flag@WhiteHouse.gov Wants YOU!

Posted on August 4th, 2009 by Stephen Kruiser

The good news is that Team Lightbringer has awoken me from my blogging coma. The bad news is that this will probably land me on some sort winger nutjob watch list that I haven’t yet made. Back on Election Night ’09, I strained a few relationships with some of my enlightened liberal friends when, soaked [...]
