Too much information, Rush!

Rush gives us an unasked for peek into his fantasy life. We all know what it means when he protests too much, – after the drug thing and all -  but we don’t need that picture in our minds.

Help O’Reilly Retitle his book

“A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity”. That is the actual name of a new O’Reilly tome Apparently Billo has an unlimited ability to absorb mockery. Well, as long as they spell your name right, eh? You can vote on an alternative (more accurate) title in Newsweek’s poll.

Michelle on the View

I just caught up with the rest of the world by viewing some clips of Michelle Obama’s appearance on The View today, courtesy of Roadkill Refugee.

Olbermann 1 – Wal-Mart 0

Although That’s Right Nate (the token conservative on my blogroll) thinks Keith Olbermann should go back to sports, his color commentary on the state of the nation can be compelling. His crusade against Wal-Mart on behalf the Shanks has born fruit. Wal-Mart has rethought its decision to recoup some of the money they [...]
