The Bishop Trust

I don’t believe in long-term successful conspiracies, but I was privy to the disclosure of a successful one in 1997 in Hawaii, when the worlds largest Trust was brought down.
Now, this is not an anti-Democratic Party screed because although everyone who was part of the conspiracy was a high Democratic Party operative, the conspiracy was [...]

God’s Sense of Humor

You have heard of the Gore Effect — the unseasonably cold, wet weather that always strikes when Gore goes to speak on Global Warming — well, it happened again and Gore wasn’t even there!
 
Today, in London the Parliament was discussing the final edition of the British answer to Global Warming through the reduction of greenhouse [...]

Where is The Times When We Need Them?

In 1940, the WSJ tells me, the reliably Democratic Party organ, the New York Times endorsed a Republican candidate rather than a third term for FDR.
One of their complaints with FDR was “fostering the idea that there exists a great fund of wealth which has only to be divided more equitably in order to make [...]

A Warning, Probably Unheeded

They provide me with no solace!
Excerpt of Obama 2001 NPR interview as provided by NPR Station in Chicago (emphasis added): If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement [...]

Interesting Comments on MSNBC

From The Holywood Reporter:
In a room full of television industry executives, no one seemed inclined to defend MSNBC on Monday for what some were calling its lopsidedly liberal coverage of the presidential election.
The cable news channel is “completely out of control,” said writer-producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat.
She added that she would prefer a [...]

Wassup With This?

I have played and replayed this YouTube clip several times. As I get it the subject is redistributive justice, and this is an exact quote as i copied it down:

Media Bias Exposed

The media bias is so pronounced this time that even Dan Rather admits it is pervasive!
Those few who share my interest in media, its bias and its rapid financial decline, might be interested in the ABC News column today (Media’s Presidential Bias and Decline) by Michael S. Malone, who is described by ABC News as:
“Michael [...]
