- I’m hearing an awful lot of speculation lately, as regards the reaction of the American public were Jeremiah Wright and Barrack Obama white. Certainly the reaction would be different. They’d be ignored. Forgive the observation, but we already have a name for whites who spew anti-white hatred. We call them “liberals”. The American people have learned to ignore such matters as par for the course.
- Nice to see my old boss, from the old WVOR/100.5, Bob Bittner, picking up another station, WWBK in Brunswick, Maine. With 1kw on 900 [1], he should have a fairly decent time of it, in that market. This adds WWBK to WJIB/740 [2]in Boston and WJTO/730 [3]in Bath, ME to his collection. Not exactly flamethrowers, these stations, but between them, my read is he should have good groundwave coverage from just south of Boston to about 50 miles north of Brunswick. Interesting that he should own a station with that call. Back in the day, he and I both worked at separate times, another station on 1560 in Brockport NY that ran under those WWBK calls.
- I’ve been spending a good deal of time listening to Dennis Miller’s show [4] on the way home from work lately and I find myself encouraged by his attitude about things. it’s carried locally on a DB basis on Bob Savage’s WYSL/1040, though I note that 8780/WHCU down in Ihtaca has it on live. So do a number of other stations. He gets a little too deep into his own shtick at times, but then again, he always did. But he’s likely as snarky a live commentator as you’ll ever find. And if you’ve been reading here for a while you may remember we value the snark, here. Now, if we could just get him out of O’Reilly’s clutches.
- BitsBlog site traffic is up again. We’ve had a very good week. Not too much a shock that most of the traffic is on the topic of the Obama / Wright thing. So much for the myth that it’s a ‘diversion’. It IS in fact what the people want to talk about.
- A third place at OTB’s Caption Contest [5]. Not bad, but I think I’m losing my touch.
- Look, Bruce [6], the left has in many moments in truth, all of which they’ve succeeded in skating by over the years. One more such incident will be merely a drop in the ocean of moments of truth, that’ve been ignored. You are quite correct in noting that the opportunity arose and was passed by, but I think you’re asking too much to expect anything else, but them passing it by.
- By now you’ve seen the notes flying on the leftie blogs about Deborah Jeane Palfrey… these same lefties who leaped to Bill Clinton’s defense, claiming that we were all a bunch of conspiracy theorists, and who are now suggesting that the woman hanged herself, or was killed, because she knew too much about too many Republicans who were in her little black book. The context of this statement can likely be found in lesser quantity on any stable floor. That point aside, however, it should be pointed out that this is the classic hallmark of a conspiracy theory. At the very least, it can be said that Vince Foster didn’t hang himself with a rope that didn’t work. I note Sister Toldjah [7] has more.
- I see Blue Crab Blvd using huge words like “epicycles [8].” it’s rather odd, because that was the word that was used when my wife used to get crabby every 28 days. That point aside, all of this goes to show very nicely that the enviro-nazis cannot afford to admit any doubts about their pet theories. If they did, why the whole thing would fall apart and besides which, Gaia would get angry at them.
- There’s an old adage about bringing a knife to a gunfight. What happens when you bring a gun to a fight with 500 pound bombs? Bluto has the answer. [9]
- Bluto also notes the war on Barbie. [10] Odd thing; Wasn’t it the militant gender feminists that were screaming about this not so long ago? Somehow I doubt that the Taliban, and NOW agreeing here, will even be noticed by the left. I dare to suggest you the possibility that each of their respective lines of reasoning to be equally vacuous. I stand a fair chance of being singled out for beheading by each group for doing so. But wouldn’t you just love to get them into a room to chat about the remainder of their respective agendae? Imagine if you will Randi Rhodes arguing with these people. After she puts her teeth in, of course.
- TGIF… Let’s see, yard work, prep work on the camper, some blogging work..Gotta get the truck inspected, and all that on Saturday. Rain both days. Figures. Perhaps I’ll be able to get the blog’s database trimmed up a bit, instead.
