I’m sure I’ve said this before but it probably deserves repeating. I don’t think politics and religion should mix. Politics corrupts all it touches. However, the allure of mixing the two is all too great for many to resist. Glenn Beck has made millions sermonizing his political theology. Bill O’Reilly, who’s more secular than religious [...]
I have ignored Fox Nation thus far. However, after reading Dan Gainor’s ridiculous crap on the “ground zero mosque” I couldn’t resist. Dan Gainor is “The Boone Pickens Fellow” over at Media Research Center run by right-wing evangelist Brent Bozell. You’ll recall, Media Research Center and Bozell get their voices heard by Fox News because [...]
Assuming Glenn Beck’s chalk board doesn’t kill him before the big event today, it looks like Glenn Beck will create the next George Washington. Do you think Colbert is having any fun with any of this?

Via Raw Story comes this amusing story of a young Bill O’Reilly sitting in during a screening of a porno movie then going out to dinner with the director. How do we know? Well, Bill wrote an article about it. Did I mention there’s folks smoking pot all around him and he doesn’t jump into [...]
Back in 2006, Imam Rauf and Glenn Beck sat across from each other on Good Morning America. Based upon the wild-eyed reaction of right-wingers on Fox News and elsewhere today to the building of the “Ground Zero Mosque,” you’d think Imam Rauf was some crazed radical screaming “death to America.”
No, here we have Glenn [...]
When I say I don’t get the New York Muslim Community Center, dubbed “Park51,” flap I’ll get all the usual stereotypes hurled my way. Oh, I’m a terrorist hugger. Oh, I’m a radical atheist thumbing my nose at a nation dedicated to Christianity. You know the drill.
It’s not lost on me the fact radical Muslims [...]
You be the judge.
I’ve watched Fox News today a bit. The theme of the day is the proposed construction of a mosque in New York City near the Twin Towers terrorist attack site. The protesters are out so Fox News is all over it like a cheap suit. As I type this the segue is that they’re going [...]
Fox News ‘analyst’ Sarah Palin showed up on Hannity for a schmooze session. Sean softballs a question to her about President Obama being “wimpy” which allows her to monologue a series of hypocritical smears. Enter Jimmy Kimmel who points out the obvious: what Sarah says about the president more aptly applies to herself.

Chico Brisbane has an amusing story about his elderly parents’ behavior and health being affected by Fox News.
One laughs but it brings back a few memories of my own.
