  1. But, but, but B-Man. You can listen to Rush Limbaugh. He's proof that there's no liberal bias in the media.
  2. I've never met Aaron Sorkin, but everything I've read about him paints him as an ideologue trying to get a "message" across through his work . . . Goldberg's work has nothing to do with Hollywood, and I never claimed that it does. My point is that the two arms of media (reporting and entertainment) are in lockstep. I don't work in Hollywood, but I and many others are convinced that there is an agenda. To state that it "just doesn't happen" i think is a bit pollyanna . . .
  3. I take it that you haven't met Aaron Sorkin yet? Read "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg. In his opinion (and I agree with it), it is a conscious and systematic effort by those in charge at leading liberal media outlets (the so-called Main Stream Media) to consistently paint Democrats and liberal ideals as positive. Simultaneously, Republicans are painted as evil and/or stupid; and conservative principals are positioned in a negative light.
  4. I recall reading an essay somewhere (sadly I don't remember where or when), and the gist of it was that it's easy to be a Liberal Democrat in America. Virtually everything you see or read in the media agrees with your point of view. Big 3 Network news? Check. CNN? Check. Can't watch Fox News (or should I say Faux News, cuz I'm smart. I went to college) because that's for low intellect people (Which is false BTW: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/foxnews.asp) Pick up a newspaper? Well, the NY Times and the Washington Post are two of the most widely read papers and they agree with me. Ha! Can't pick up that nasty Wall Street Journal... that's for the 1%'ers... Watch Movies or TV? Same, same . . . Can you ever recall a show or movie that painted a Republican in a favorable light? The West Wing, the American President, etc. etc. etc. All are flowery depictions of a liberal utopia. But what about HBO's Newsroom? That guy is a Republican! No, no he's not. He's what Aaron Sorkin thinks R's should be like. Denying Liberal Bias in the media is senseless. If you can't see it, it's because of everything I stated above. It's a systematic reprogramming of the American Mind. It's intentional, and it's working.
  5. Let's hope it's just ECMC Docs being super-cautious. Prayers and good wishes to him.
  6. You win the Internet today, GG.
  7. My parent's got my brother and I a Foosball Table one year. My god that thing got a LOT of use through the years.
  8. Ha! Regal Warrington is my go to theater. Too bad I'm in Buffalo this holiday weekend . . . :-(
  9. Ummm, no... They're the Pat*s.
  10. I would love to hear someone who believes that Voter ID laws are simply voter suppression efforts explain how this is something completely different. Bueller? Bueller?
  11. Hotel Bar, South Bend, Indiana....
  12. All over again . . . But in the spirit of the thread: http://www.youngcons.com/if-this-isnt-liberal-logic-in-a-nutshell-i-dont-know-what-is-2/
  13. Unless you don't want to conduct gay marriages . . . Then your religious beliefs don't matter.
  14. I saw that one too. I consider myself to be fairly stoic, but that story moved me to tears. WTF is wrong with people?
  15. Interesting take on this "controversy" http://www.nationalreview.com/article/391610/how-far-left-hijacked-cat-calling-debate-and-started-eat-itself-charles-c-w-cooke
  16. No more: "She was asking for it."
  17. Dang... Saw this too late. It's a beautifully clear evening here in Philly.
  18. Crescent City Brewhouse has multiple TV's and Sunday Ticket, so they'll likely have it on. Good beer too!
  19. Oh, that poor kid. How will he ever get over this travesty . . .
  20. I love the fact that our new owner has a higher net worth than Jerry. Suck on that . . .
  21. Please mind the gap!
  22. Indeed . . .I also didn't like they way they softened Grammer's character in the second season. The blonde chief of staff, though? Hubba, hubba!
  23. I have the constitution of a bear and haven't been really "sick" since my teen years. I get a sniffle now and then, but nothing too serious. That said, I get a flu shot every year . . . And unlike Pooj, i am a fanatic about hand sanitizer. Rule #1: Always go wash your hands after handling the menu in a restaurant . . .
  24. If semen were not water soluble, my parent's shower stall would have had a serious plumbing problem back in my teen years . . .
  25. Hah! Auto-erotic. I see what you did there! :w00t:
