A bunch of examples of these talking points are at FoxAttacks.com/facts . But last night, the single-best progressive talk show out...
Today has been an utter shitstorm of awesome here at La Casa Mitchell and I get back to the Cray 26,000 to find out that the news that I had to pass along kinda pales in comparison to Sarah Palin saying that she is going to resign as governor of Alaska at the end of July.

Michael Scheuer, author and former CIA employee, told Glenn Beck that another major terrorist attack by Osama bin Laden would have a beneficial effect on America's security: Beck: Yes, sir. OK. So you have seen this. Do you really, honestly believe that we have come to a place to where those very senior people in the highest offices of the land, Congress and the White House, really will not do the...
I really didn’t have a lot to say about the passing of local radio personality Irv Homer (pictured) last week except for a brief mention at the end of another post, but intrepid Philadelphia Daily News columnist Michael Smerconish had some words on the subject in his column today. Homer held court on radio station WWDB in these parts, among other employment locations. And it was not uncommon...
