'Glee' Sucker Punches Republican Fans
Originally published yesterday at Big Hollywood. For a related blog post, click here. Must be nice being a leftie and NEVER having to worry about some childish television creator taking a gratuitous shot — from completely out of nowhere — at what you believe in.

How AP Feels About Today's Tea Party Gatherings
This is sooooo predictable. An unbylined Associated Press item on today's Tea Party Express tour wrap-up in Washington uses a word that the wire service almost never (if not absolutely never) applies to truly violent leftist groups.

Comedy Gold from CNN: 'We Are the Only Credible, Non Partisan Voice Le
Well, at least the final word in the headlined quote above is correct.Media Bistro's Chris Ariens has a roundup of other write-ups from CNN's "Newsmakers" upfront meeting with advertisers yesterday (picture at right is from that event).
