I’ve held off dancing on Keith Olbermann’s broadcast grave for two reasons:  One, because I wasn’t sure I believed it; and two, because I wasn’t sure it was cause for celebration. Of all the compilations and commentary about the abrupt “indefinite suspension” by MSNBC of their most prominent personality, Keith Olbermann, perhaps the above video [...]

When I first heard there was to be a Hawaii Five-O reboot with younger actors, my first reaction was the groan of a man tired of television and movies mining his childhood to mostly lame and usually campy effect. Not that the original Hawaii Five-O holds up incredibly well, probably ranking somewhere between Kojak and [...]

The PBS/BBC Masterpiece Mystery this month is “Sherlock” which has Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson—along with supporting characters Inspector Lestrade and landlady Mrs. Hudson—operating in modern day London. The show is simply ingenious– true enough to the character for purists and modern enough to attract a new younger audience—from the team that did much the [...]

For a couple of seasons now, I’ve been saying that Showtime’s Dexter (reviewed excellently here by Walter Hudson) has surpassed the series of books they are based on. And since the producers of the television show have been more willing than author Jeff Lindsay to kill of certain characters, it’s sometimes confusing to read the [...]

Calling Captain Obvious … Did you know that most of CNN’s audience disagrees with hostage taking?  Rick Sanchez just wants to reassure you that while Discovery Channel gunman James Lee just wanted to save the planet, he may have gone a bit too far: SANCHEZ: He’s a bit of an activist, a guy who truly [...]

Almost lost in the ludicrous exchange in which 3 pro-abortion fanatics who consider gay marriage to be the next big battle against bigotry defending the Catholic Church against Glenn Beck, was this outburst from Chrissy “Tingly Leg” Matthews– which was embarrassing, even by his low standard. If he keeps this up, he won’t even be a [...]

Military professionals from the Vietnam era scornfully refer to the “McNamara 100,000”—the often reluctant draftees for whom standards were lowered in order to provide the numbers the administration thought would win the war. Many officers from that time insist that the increase in drug use, lack of discipline and overall degrading of the force stemmed [...]

MSNBC has launched an all out campaign to make being a Republican equivalent to hate speech.  Rachel Maddow calls it the “scaring white people” strategy.  Keith Olbermann decided that Muslims are the new… gays? DAN SAVAGE of THE STRANGER to KEITH OLBERMANN:  Will they ever run out of people to hate and to campaign against [...]

Barack Obama’s Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Thomas Perez can’t wait to get up in the morning and sue Americans and American institutions for being unequal.  Not unfair, mind you, but unequal. Your Creator might have given you equal rights, but Perez is going to create equal outcomes at the behest of his [...]

Democrat “strategist” turned NY Post columnist Kirsten Powers made a minor brand name for herself on Fox News, where she was supposedly the reasonable Democrat– and eye candy competition for the Fox News info-babes. But on Fox News Watch, FNC’s media bias panel program this past weekend, she proved herself to be a moral imbecile, [...]
