I think it is a great business decision. CNN is obviously losing the ratings war with FOX and they want someone else conservative except for Glen Beck.

I sure hope there will not be the backlash from conservatives, like the whole Chris Wallace thing.

sunday they aired a show counting down the 9 or 10 ways the earth was going to be destroyed, starting with things like a stellar gamma ray burst, asteroids, the sun going nova, super volcanoes, runaway biological plauges, but then things started to change. it started with the bio plauges, strongly hinting at manmade plauges, then it got decidedly political delving into nukes and how the us has lead the way in producing too many, then to finally cap things off global warming. yep they rolled out al gore and a bunch of socialists the sky is falling scam artists to start pushing the lie that the earth is getting so hot, even though this was all filmed and produced during the big cool off period we've been in for the last 10 years. these liars were still pushing the big lie and al gore popped up saying that the only scientists that disagree with him are being paid off to say so. at that point i couldn't stand watching anymore and i found something productive to do before i threw something at the tv.

the history channel has really lost a lot of credibility, not just because they are seaching for ufos and bigfeets, but now they are letting al gore get up there to warn us about manbearpig.

As for Tony Snow, Rome wasn’t the center of Christianity until Peter and Paul went there. If conservatives want CNN to stop being such a liberal stronghold, somebody’s going to have to go there. Bill Bennett’s already there, but they only let him speak when they surround him with contradictory voices. Tony Snow is a persuasive guy, and he's worth listening to. As for CNN, let’s hope this is a sign that they can’t abandon more than half of the available audience by ignoring conservatives.

As for the Pennsylvania primary, I don’t care who wins. For a long time, I was hoping that an Obama-Clinton fight would weaken both of them. I’m not entirely convinced that’s true anymore. I mean, let’s face it, the fun is allowing the Clintons to dig up dirt on Obama, smearing him remorselessly, and we Republicans don’t have to get our hands dirty. But, to my surprise, the Clintons have been exceedingly inept in their smear machine. Remember back in December, after Obama’s pot-smoking became an issue, the Clintons hinted that they had really bad evidence on Obama – maybe affairs, maybe cocaine, maybe other stuff? Instead of making Obama weaker, it just made everyone disgusted at the Clintons. Democrats turned to Obama because they didn’t want to live under that “oppo research” mentality anymore. So instead of a fight that brings out both candidates’ weaknesses, it's become really boring, and they’re reduced to pathetic whining over debate questions. And in the process, they each get free (and ‘round the clock) airtime.

Right now, the spotlight is between the candidates, but not on any one of them directly. They can play in that shadow. I would much rather allow the spotlight to get to Obama specifically. Like Hillary, I think he’s a balloon that’s eventually going to pop. We don’t have to do any smearing. Just let the light shine, and he’ll screw it all up himself.

Ted Turner must be spinning in his grave.

Who knew that Saudi Arabia is the center of the Earth and should be the reference point for world time, not Greenwich, England? Muslims are now declaring that "mecca time" is better than GMT. These idiots are at a conference studying the "miraculous nature of the holy text," which tries to find precedents for modern science from passages in the Koran. Sounds a lot like what Al Gore is doing, doesn't it?

Oh, and by the way -- unless you set your watch by mecca time, you will be hunted down and beheaded!

Well, it worked. I watched Larry King last night, just so I could see Tony Snow. And I can not stand to look at Larry. It is painful.

Tony was perfect, as usual. That is, when he could get a word in edgewise. The constantly talking Dee Dee Myers wouldn't shut up.

Tony - cool, dapper, debonair. Dee Dee - hyper, edgy, brash.

Saw this on LGF:

"Democratic White House contender Barack Obama could not hide his irritation Monday when asked by a reporter what he thought about former president Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas last week."

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" the Illinois senator said as he ate breakfast in Scranton, Pennsylvania, according to MSNBC television pictures."

"Pressed again for an answer, he replied: "Just let me eat my waffle."

But will financial "journalists" notice? Lots of links there with official verification, if you care.
JMR -- yes, I do have a personal interest in the price of Au, but I'd still believe what I believe about this scandal if I was flat broke. See? I can disclose, so why can't generals?

The tax & spend drug war looks racist in the real world.

Just read some bad news on Drudge.  Tony Snow is hospitalized, citing exhaustion as cause.  Last I knew, he was in remission, and I hope that's still the case, but we should all say a prayer for the poor guy and his family.

[In light the airing of PBS's hysterical Frontline docu-drama "Hot Politics"; This bears repeating]

To President Bush,
John McCain,
Hillary Clinton,
Barack Obama,

and the other nations of the world;

The argument over Global Warming is NOT OVER!!

Neither I, nor any other rational American will accept the Global Warming swindle.

NO polemic, NO amount of bogus science, NO amount of intimidation, NO amount of propaganda, NO amount of media brow beating, NO amount of appeals to emotion, NO amount of international pressure, will change our minds on this issue. The proverbial cat is out of the bag. Global Warming is a lie, it is a scam, it is a crime, and it is a folly.

ANY President, ANY Senator, ANY Congressman, ANY Governor, ANY Public Official who believes, promotes, funds, negotiates, votes for, or signs legislation that endorses Global Warming as a fact, will be branded by us as either a fool or a criminal, and we will not have fools or criminals representing us in OUR government. we WILL abandon you and we will withhold our money, our voices, our pens, and our votes until you leave office or are voted out or are forced from office.

Beware the political third rail of the Global Warming LIE!
