NPR must fire Nina Totenberg
NPR must fire Nina Totenberg. Nothing less will be ok. Nothing less will be acceptable. NPR, funded by your Tax Dollars and mine, must treat attacks on religions consistently. Nina Totenberg, correspondent for National Public Radio, took a shot at Christianity on TV (Real Clear Politics). “And I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas Party at the Department of Justice and people actually were really worried about this,” said Totenberg. FORGIVE THE EXPRESSION???? Does she ...

NPR's Nina Totenberg: 'I Was At - Forgive the Expression - a Christmas Party...'
Liberal NPR Journalist Nina Totenberg, on Inside Washington this weekend: "I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas Party." I want to say one thing about the Budget that didn't get passed, the Omnibus Bill. You know, we talk a lot about - we just passed this huge Tax Cut in part because business said, you know, we have to plan, we have to know what kind of tax cuts we have. Well, these agencies, including the Defense Department, don't know how much money they've got and for what. And I wa...

Quote of the day Nina Totenberg edition
Sigh: “I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas Party.“  Liberal NPR Journalist Nina Totenberg, on Inside Washington this weekend. I wonder how often Ms. Totenberg has had to apologize for calling Christmas, well, Christmas during the course of her hip, chatty DC cocktail circuit conversations with liberal elites who turn their noses up at all things traditionally Christian? I can’t imagine ever doing so.  In fact, I will NEVER apologize for calling Christmas

Tough year for Obama, AP says
"Obama's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year" -- the headline of an Associated Press story coming over the wires on Monday. Among the things that made 2010 a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year," the AP mentioned the fallout over the Christmas Day underwear bomber, the gulf Oil Spill, the 2010 Midterm Elections and even D.C.'s Snowpocalypse.

Peter Nickles: Hero or hellion?
Brooke Fineberg was in her last year of Law School at George Washington University in 2009 when she got an offer to work for a Law Firm, but she would have to do some pro bono work until starting in the fall of 2010. She called a Law School classmate who was working as a special assistant at the D.C. Attorney General's office. "Great job," he said. She applied and landed one of the coveted gigs. "I was really interested in doing government work," she tells me. "Luckily, my firm considered the a...

Governor Paterson Fined $62K for Accepting Yankees Tickets
I’m not one of New York Governor Paterson’s biggest fans. He’s far more liberal than I care for, and I disagree with him more than I agree. But I do believe he tried to do what’s right. Which is more than I can say for a lot of libs. That being said, he did violate the rules by soliciting World Series tickets from the New York Yankees in 2009. I just wonder if New York’s Ethics Commission would have gone easier on him if he were more of a Left Wing radical. The Ne...

Al Sharpton Working with FCC to Shut Up Rush Limbaugh and Others
Here’s audio of Al Sharpton talking to Tom Joyner (lib talker?) about how he’s working with the FCC to haul Rush Limbaugh and others to make them explain how they justify using public airwaves to offend people. Basically, he’s accusing Rush of being a Racist, and wants the FCC to shut him up. “Free Speech for me but not for thee.” Video below the fold. (Note: Video plays automatically) Flashback: This is the same Al Sharpton who shouted “punk faggot” a...

David Limbaugh: Regulators are wasting time regulating Christmas
It's that time of year when we are reminded just how indebted we are to the left's mega-tolerant cultural warriors. Annually, they jolt us out of our complacency to notice how imposing, intolerant and dangerous Christmas and Christianity are. If it weren't for these valiant Soldiers, this disturbing proliferation of Christmas celebrations and other Christian symbols would proceed unabated. Each year, the examples are too voluminous to document exhaustively, but permit me to share a few highligh...

No, Haley Barbour is Not a Racist
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour is being accused of being some sort of Jim Crow Racist for a comment he made during an interview with the Weekly Standard. “Because the business community wouldn’t stand for it,” he said. “You heard of the Citizens Councils? Up north they think it was like the KKK. Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. . . .” You’ll have to follow the link above for the full quote. And if you read the entire article, you’ll no

FCC Website Was Shut Down On Eve of Net Neutrality Vote
Coincidence? Incompetence? Take your pick. On the eve of the FCC’s Net Neutrality vote, their website was shut down for “scheduled maintenance.” Maybe they scheduled the maintenance right before the vote so the public couldn’t leave any more comments. Or Wikileaks Hackers brought it down. Or GoDaddy is their hosting provider. No matter the explanation, it doesn’t look good. The irony would be amusing, were the ramifications of this un-transparency from Captain Tra...

Colo. economic outlook shows lower property values
Colorado will have enough money in its general account to cover current spending levels, but a new revenue forecast warns the state could face a $1 billion shortfall in the 2011-12 Budget. The Legislative Council's economic forecast released Monday includes projections showing overall assessed property values dropping 5.3 percent this year, mostly due to lower Oil and gas values. Assessed values are expected to dip another 6.9 percent next year because of declining residential and commercial pro...
