SAJAK ON CELEB ENDORSEMENTS
If any group of citizens is uniquely unqualified to tell someone else how to vote, it's those of us who live in the sheltered, privileged arena of celebrityhood. It's one thing to buy an ab machine because Chuck Norris recommends it (he's in good shape, isn't he?) or a grill because George Foreman's name is on it (he's a great guy, so it must be a great grill!), but the idea of choosing the Leader of the Free World based on the advice of someone who lives in the cloistered world of stardom seems a bit loony to me.
I suppose anything that gets people engaged in the political process is a good thing, but the idea that a gold record, a top-ten TV show or an Oscar translates into some sort of political wisdom doesn't make much sense to me. Trust me, one's view of the world isn't any clearer from the back seat of a limo. Pat Sajak [Human Events]
NEW YORK TIMES LOSING $$$$$$$$
The New York Times, AKA the tired gray old lady, is having hard times. Their circulation is down, their advertising is down and now they will be laying off reporters, clerks, and secretaries and eliminating some positions. This according to Editor and Publisher. Bank of America has dropped their rating of the New York Times to sell. This according to Reuters. It is about time and overdue. The NYT is one of the worst, least credible newspapers in the world. It is biased, elitist, and dishonest. There are only two good uses for the NYT, fish wrap and floor covering for puppies. They should just cease operations.
NEW PC LABEL
FORMER INMATES. Get on board folks, the gray tired old lady, the New York Times, has injected a new political correct term into the lexicon; former inmates. They used to be called ex-convicts. Now they are former inmates. First it was the illegal alien- undocumented worker change, now this. What other political correct labels will they dream up next? Is it any wonder why they are going bankrupt?
THE THREE KINGS
Not the Magi. The three kings listed are Gore, Kennedy, and Kerry. According to the article, these are the three top people the Democratic candidates will seek endorsements from. They have a strong appeal to the Democratic base, they have powerful fund raising abilities, and they are still power houses in their own rights. If at least two do not endorse Hillary Clinton, her campaign may be doomed. Of course if they decide to get in the game, it could be interesting; a moonbat, a leftover rich hippie, and a drunk.
