Just want to relay the boyz appreciation for all of your support
February 26, 2007 - 11:50 ET by acaiguanaJust want to relay the boyz appreciation for all of your support.
Particularly the pirate flag posted by Eric. Also for all the neat Iguana Pirate and party pictures that were posted.
They pretty much threw a big party over that last night. (of course, they throw a big party every night with Cigars; Port; and heavy card playing.)
Anyway, the International Iguana Global Warming Convention may take a while as the planning keeps getting interrupted with chasing the egg laying chicks.

What Happens When Iguanas Go Bad!
February 26, 2007 - 12:23 ET by Eric TurnerUnfortunately, aca isn't telling the whole truth! Isn't this typical of right-wing conservatives?
Here is what happens when "Iguanas Go Bad!"
Pay no attention to the Iguana behind that curtain.
February 26, 2007 - 12:31 ET by acaiguanaPay no attention to the Iguana behind that curtain.
This 'slockumentary' is obviously a vast right Wing Conspiracy to denegrate the species and further the agenda of the anti-Iguana freedom to wreck havock amongst the exploiter cities that have encroached so viciously on the poor Iguana habitat.
Sincerely,
Iguana Rights against Capitalist Running Dogs, Inc.

I was unlucky enough to find myself at home Sunday morning, rocking a fevering child and watching the TV.... after this feature linked above on CBS NEWS SUNDAY about Keith Olberman aired I think my temperature rose above my daugthers.
I suppose I'm making a request for someone to make this story a blog post unto itself. I respect you that are able to do that.
I hope there is a way to get the video of this absolute piece-of-crud story.
Prepare to vomit.
I love this site!!! You all are heroes!!

Just so I know I got this rig
February 26, 2007 - 13:59 ET by BruzillaJust so I know I got this right... CBS News, the true "Fair And Balanced" news team, does a report on one of the lowest-rated commentators on the lowest-rated cable news operation. Then said report proclaims that KO is thrilled with an 80% jump in viewers, which equals about 12 viewers given his current ratings (and most of those people are here at Newsbusters), and manage to list Bill O'Reilly's show as a competing show even though more people watch O'Reilly's show each night than have ever seen KO's since it's been on.
The desperation level at CBS must be getting pretty high!

February 26, 2007 - 12:11 ET by acaiguanaGood catch JDW; the trial falls apart in the end.
Actually, this type of ending would be in keeping with the whole mess, would it not?
I'd been expecting a 'hung' or 'not-guilty' jury for the last day or so. Now it looks like appeals have so many avenues that even the Judge has got to wonder what happened to his court? If he focuses on Fitzgerald's antics he'll be able to salvage some dignity; if he focuses on Libby he'll be destroyed.
So, we'll see. The 'herd' mentality is that judges are not swayed by Public Opinion...uh huh.

Former ACLU president charged
February 26, 2007 - 12:10 ET by RangerTomAnyone else hear about a former president of the ACLU in Virginia being charged with possession of child pornography? I have only seen this once on the news and was wondering when this will get as much exposure as Mark Foley. I guess it could be one or more reasons why I haven't seen this elsewhere. The election is over and there is still no change in Anna Nicole Smiths condition and Britanny Spears is still an ignoramus.

"Do these findings mean that Americans are closet terrorist sympathizers?"
No, what it means is that the MSM's "drumming of crap into the vacuous brains of those that still watch it" has taken hold and "America IS bad and should be ashamed".
Every once-in-a-great-while I'll flip on an Evening News only to find myself shaking my head thinking, "Who believes this drivel???". Apparently around half the country. Sheesh.

February 26, 2007 - 16:26 ET by SportPoliticsThe idiot terrorist symp poll takers...
If they had asked the question concerning 911, they would have gotten the standard non-symp responses probably outdoing the muslim nations in question.
Instead, the idiots are asking about terrorism "overseas" and due to the nature of the newsbeast - "freedom fighter" terrorists in Iraq,and they got a Bush hate quotient, which also assumes - that the terror will be "over there".
In the muslim case, the terror was across the street last week, and the citizens answer accordingly, since it's right outside their front door.
It's never too encouraging when idiots are running the poll show.

February 26, 2007 - 12:42 ET by BDFor the past several weeks I have heard a mantra from those on the left who claim to support the troops.
Yet, when Nancy Pelosi, Teddy Kennedy, etc go to the well of the Senate/House to make statements on the war, I frankly do not feel supported.
When is the last time you heard one of these "honored persons" encourage Abu Ayub Al Masri the leader of AQ in Iraq to surrender to the nearest US troops.
When is the last time you heard Senator Kennedy proclaim from the podium "Hey, islamic militants who are hiding in Ramadi- give it up because BD and his analysts know where you are."
How about Joe Biden reminding the islamic Militants that their life expectancy in a firefight with US troops is measured in seconds?
How about Murtha reminding our islamic foes that for years they claimed we were cowardly because we would not stand and fight like men toe to toe. Why is Murtha not reminding them that THEY are the ones hiding now?
Instead I get "Support" from such honored visages in manners designed to weaken my will.
Much of the left encourages me to not deploy by their support for the weak amongst us who flee to Canada or pitch feeble arguments sponsored by the ACLU in court for others who seek to discredit our actions.
Instead of liberals encouraging our enemies at Guantanamo to immediately cooperate with US interogators to save US lives, we get feeble arguments designed to give these detainees aid and comfort in the efforts to escape and conceal vital information.

February 26, 2007 - 13:25 ET by dagdaYou have to realize BD that liberals will never support the troops. Moderates and conservatives will and do. If my calling the militants out would work, I would be on the radio today. :)
Sadly, the militants have a handle on the gutlessness of the liberals. Since liberals are in nominal control of the House and Senate, militants think they have the best hand. All they have to do is hide and wait. They are too gutless to fight face-to-face. It is easier to kill innocent civilians with suicide terrorists.

February 26, 2007 - 13:36 ET by bobthemanNow don't take this the wrong way... but I'm curious if someone else would pipe up on my observation to let me know if I'm the only one... but it seems I have this uncanny ability to look at a person and tell within seconds if they're a liberal or not. It's sort of like recognizing a gay individual. You kinda know by picking up on small details. Thing is... I would never insult a gay individual by comparing them to a liberal unless they are.
Take Krugman for example... you just look at the guy and know without a doubt, he's a liberal. There are a lot of other examples out there, but I can't help but wonder if I'm the only one. They all seem to have this non-descript look about them that I can't quite put my finger on...

I've personally spoken with Mexicans who decry the fact that their compatriots are breaking the law. It is FAR from something they all want.
This is the typical over-reaction our side insists on having; always feverish and unreasonable. And then, think: Who is reporting this juicy little item?

February 26, 2007 - 18:28 ET by sarcasmoChris, what I think they need to do is get a bunch of videotape and start watching it of NOT Stewart and Colbert, but SNL's fake-news, which started the genre. I'd especially recommend any episodes with Norm McDonald or older. Not to copy SNL's actual jokes, but to get better educated on the style of how to do what they're trying to do. (But they could also probably use a libertarian comic writer or 2, as I've said a few times!).

February 26, 2007 - 21:00 ET by sarcasmoI keep giving them this entire list, but I'm even thinking they might want to deploy Dennis Miller in between the others, rather than on their already-popular-despite-my-opinion O'Reilly Factor show. I say this both because he's a better fit there logically IMO and because of his extensive SNL experience. And I'd avoid limiting the knives by party if I were Fox. I'd instead give Comedy Central their best example of "fair and balanced" comedy. Some Republicans, after all, have been beggin' for it for years IMO (think "porker-senator Ted Stevens" if you need an example).

Yeah, finally the libs are getting some PAYBACK. I can just see it, the libs will have a press conference and a kosocuckoo hotel meeting over how mean and evil the show is...then turn on SNL - get drunk and stoned, and ltao.

February 26, 2007 - 15:06 ET by Chris NormanBeing busy with moving and working, I haven't been monitoring NB that closely the past few weeks. Has there been a mention of the show last night on Fox News, "If Hollywood Ran Washington"? I knew most of the examples of hypocricy and stupidity cited, but it was still way enjoyable and pretty doggone funny to boot. You will never see this on any other network - news or otherwise. You could smell the bridges between Bill McCuddy and Hollywood burning. The only troubling thing I saw was the man on the street interviews. Despite a level-headed comments from some, many people's inane and downright dumb comments showed why Democrats can win elections. Sigh...
Afterward, I finally caught "The Half Hour News Hour". I wanted to like it. I wanted to laugh. But, it really was very not-so-good.

I thought the story on John Save the Planet Travolta was pretty humorous. Showing him in a movie clip pushing hybrid cars then showing pics of the 707 he parks in his front yard was hilarious.

February 26, 2007 - 21:12 ET by Jack Bauer"If Hollywood Ran Washington"?
That was funny. Not belly laugh, but witty and perceptive.
And McCuddy has good timing -- which he should have as a former stand up comedian.
The thing about topical news shows making fun of the news is that it has to be "topical."
I believe the pilot ans the second shows of the Half Hour News Hour were shot in January.
That's dooming it from the first set up followed by gag. Zero chance.
SNL can get away with weak material because at least it has the virtue of being aimed at fresh news from the same week.
Ahhh....the OSCAR Experience.
February 26, 2007 - 15:22 ET by JayTeeAhhh....the OSCAR Experience.....for me was condensed into 2 channel Surfing 30 second stops. I was getting bored, watching it snow/sleet, and decided to stop (Twice) on the Oscar Show....
1ST 30 second stop, was Melissa Ethridge doing Al. Gore's theme song...actually, it was the introduction, and I changed channels IMMEDIATELY.
2ND 30 Second Stop, was Ellen Degenerate walking on Stage, carrying some kind of Oscar baby carrying strap thingie....
I never went back.........what are the odds that I'm assailed by bad Songs and the leading Lesbians of our times, on a random channel peek ? Evidently, the Odds of wierdo's on TV, Really Bad songs with Zero Sales, appearing on Oscar night, are pretty heavy.....or were those the only Two ?
At Times like these, it becomes more than just a Moral Obligation to express ones opinion, it becomes a Pleasure.

Public Service Announcement..
February 26, 2007 - 15:34 ET by Clear thinkerPublic Service Announcement..
Just thought I would openly warn my friends here at NB that there is a bogus Sweepstakes going around.
My wife received the letter over the weekend with a prize notification letter and a very real looking Cashiers Check drawn on a bank in TX. The letter claimed she had won $65,000 dollars US. Enclosed was a check for $3,100 dollars US. The letter stated that the $3,100 was to pay for the fees we would have to pay before the balance would be released.
The notification letter looke real at first, but a lot of little things stand out when you go over it a second time. I called the bank in TX and they verified that the check was bogus. A quick search on the internet shows that this type of scam has been around for quite sometime, but has recently picked up steam. The most likely to fall for this is the elderly, so please warn your parents and grandparents.

Ha - the most likely to fall for it are liberals.
February 26, 2007 - 16:56 ET by SportPoliticsHa - the most likely to fall for it are liberals. Young liberals, the 30 something range or under.
I have yet to meet an old person who was that stupid. I have however recieved several calls from libs telling me they won. I'm not kidding.

February 26, 2007 - 21:53 ET by Jack BauerPhew clear... thanks man. I was worried for a second there.
I'm about to complete another order, as soon as I send this very nice man in Nigeria my bank details so he can deposit $6 million for me.

True. I got conned just once, in my youth.
Only cost me $70. Money well lost as it taught me the most valuable lesson all must learn.

February 26, 2007 - 23:30 ET by MikeBCT, fraudaid.com is an excellent source of information on all the scams crawling around on the world wide web. But, be aware that you can show some folks that the internet lottery they "won" is a scam, but they won't believe you. I tried to convince an acquaintance his "winning" was a scam, but he wouldn't believe me. For that matter, he didn't believe what he read at fraudaid, he didn't believe his wife, the western union agent, his bank, or the consumer fraud division of the attorney general's office. So far he has wired the scammers over $6000, and he still doesn't have a clue. It is frustrating as hell trying to talk to this guy.

February 27, 2007 - 00:58 ET by MikeBCT, I have a hard time categorizing him. He listens to Michael Savage and Glen Beck. But he comes up with this "The rich don't pay taxes" BS frequently. He manages to hold diametrically opposed ideas at the same time, without even realizing he does so. He buys into all the "Bush lied", "we have no business being there" crap. And, he also thinks "professional wrestling" is real. Personally, I think he's just dumber than natural organic fertilizer.

The other day Mark Sheffield
February 26, 2007 - 19:24 ET by RayRioThe other day Mark Sheffield did a piece on the Digg.com site. I had already registered on that site about a month ago. I registered because of another site I always read, Therant.us aka Thenewmediajournal.us. They had started with the Digg site themselves and just wanted to try it out. I did it only once and forgot about it. Then after reading Matts piece I decided to give it the once over again. If you think the moonbats are bad here wait til you read them on Digg.com. Some of them are so mad that there are now so many anti-Muslims stories that get to the top of their list. Of course the articles are about terrorists blowing someone up, somewhere in the world.
The best part is that on the comments by any reader you can give a thumbs up or down. I have noticed that very meanspirited comments by some moonbats do get buried. As usual very nasty comments by moonbats.
If you have the time its worth the laugh.
