The New York Daily News dug up this mug shot of ABC News correspondent Bianna Golodryga from back in May 2000 when she was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated in the great state of Texas.
Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry met a beautiful girl at a party, but she turned ugly unless she was under just the right light.

The bad news: You’re going to die. The good news: It will be quick and relatively painless. Well, at least that’s what the scientists latest settled science is telling us. Interestingly enough, this news comes from the Sun UK.
The bad news: You’re going to die. The good news: It will be quick and relatively painless.
Well, at least that’s what the scientists latest settled science is telling us. Interestingly enough, this news comes from the Sun UK:
A STAR primed to explode in a blast that could wipe out the Earth was revealed by astronomers yesterday. It will self-destruct in an explosion called a supernova with the force of 20 billion billion billion megatons of TNT.
New studies show the star, called T Pyxidis, is much closer than previously thought at 3,260 light-years away – a short hop in galactic terms.
So there you have it. The science is settled. At least until a new, new study comes out showing that the old study was wrong and that the star is really farther away and not really going to bake Earth like a potato in a microwave.
By the way, why is it that every time you see the word “new” in front of the word “study”, you know it’s going to be bad news?

It may say “January 21, 2010” on the death certificate, but Air America really died the day it was born. Mallard Fillmore explained the problem six years ago, soon after the lefty network went on the air.

During Massachusetts Senator-elect’s acceptance speech this week, chants of 41, 41, 41, filled the room. The 41st vote against the government takeover of healthcare, the 41st vote against cap-and-trade, the 41st vote against any of the socialist schemes congress will think of next. Now you can show your support by wearing the Scott Brown #41 “football jersey,” with his name and number plastered on the back of the tee shirt.

The 41st vote against the government takeover of healthcare, the 41st vote against cap-and-trade, the 41st vote against any of the socialist schemes congress will think of next. The number 41 will forever be synonymous with the election of Scott Brown, the first shot heard in American Revolution II.
Now you can show your support by wearing the Scott Brown #41 “football jersey,” with his name and number on the back of the tee shirt. While your friends are wearing the jerseys of their favorite teams at the superbowl party you’ll be attending, you can show them who the real champ of 2010 is by wearing the shirt that commemorates the beginning of the 2010 Revolution. And ladies, there’s one for you too, and even the kids.
While we’ll be wearing our Scott Brown #41 jerseys all year, and all over town, there is still time to have one delivered in time to wear for Superbowl XLIV.

Newshounds, existing, apparently, to “watch FOX so you don’t have to,” the website finds anything and everything Fox related vile and evil and every other combination of those four letters. They hope that in 2010 President Obama “Will Do A Better Job Dealing With Fox News”.
Amid all the truly bizarre excuses that left wingers have offered up to explain the failures of The Greatest President In History, a website called Newshounds has jumped out in front of the pack.
Existing, apparently, to “watch FOX so you don’t have to,” the website finds anything and everything Fox related vile and evil and every other combination of those four letters. They hope that in 2010 President Obama “Will Do A Better Job Dealing With Fox News”.
They point out that an article in New Yorker contained “an admission that one of the reasons Sarah Palin’s ‘death panel’ remark was able to take hold is that the White House thought it too idiotic to deal with. One imagines they won’t be making that same mistake going forward.”
The article goes on to say “Let’s hope so. I’d argue that most, if not all, of Obama’s stumbling blocks last year were at least partly a by-product of his failure to adequately address the right-wing masters of media messaging.”
Really? All of those gaffes, blunders and downright disasters over the course of the last 12 months were because Obama didn’t attack Fox News enough?
Well, there’s hope (and maybe even some change) for the folks at Newshounds.
Dan Pfeiffer, the guy who replaced Anita Dunn as White House Communications Director and Official Fox News Basher, has apparently learned his job well, stating in an interview with the New York Times that, “I have the same view of Fox that Anita [Dunn] had, which is that Fox is not a traditional news organization. They have a point of view. That point of view pervades the entire network both the opinion shows, like Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly, but also through the newscasts during the day.” The Times added that “Pfeiffer also said that the White House doesn’t ‘feel an obligation to treat them like we would treat a CNN or an ABC or an NBC or a traditional news organization’ but will have officials appear on the network sometime.”
You go, Dan. With a little hard work, you may raise Fox News’ ratings even higher than Dunn did.
And we’re guessing that would make some heads explode at Newshounds.

In a scene that will soon be repeated across the fruited plain, a maintenance man in the New Jersey capital shows up at the governor’s office to scrape off the name of the Democrat incumbent and to apply the name of new Republican Governor Chris Christie.

This may come as a huge surprise to most Americans, but Air America is on the air. No. Correction. Make that was still on the air. The little-listened to lefty radio network just announced that it will case live broadcasting and file for bankruptcy.
This may come as a huge surprise to most Americans, but Air America is on the air. No. Correction. Make that was still on the air.
The little-listened to lefty radio network just announced that it will cease live broadcasting and file for bankruptcy.
It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.
The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America’s business. This past year has seen a “perfect storm” in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry’s long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times.
Those companies that remain are facing audience fragmentation as a result of new media technologies, are often saddled with crushing debt, and have generally found it difficult to obtain operating or investment capital from traditional sources of funding. In this climate, our painstaking search for new investors has come close several times right up into this week, but ultimately fell short of success.
With radio industry ad revenues down for 10 consecutive quarters, and reportedly off 21% in 2009, signs of improvement have consisted of hoping things will be less bad. And though Internet/new media revenues are projected to grow, our expanding online efforts face the same monetization and profitability challenges in the short term confronting the Web operations of most media companies
When Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel Maddow, it was the only full-time progressive voice in the mainstream broadcast media world. At a critical time in our nation’s history — when dissent on issues such as the Iraq war were often denounced as “un-American” — Air America and its talented team helped millions of Americans remember the importance of compelling discussion about the most pivotal events and decisions of our generation.
Through some 100 radio outlets nationwide, Air America helped build a new sense of purpose and determination among American progressives. With this revival, the progressive movement made major gains in the 2006 mid-term elections and, more recently, in the election of President Barack Obama and a strongly Democratic Congress.
Laws have changed for the better thanks to this revival…..but all the same our company cannot escape the laws of economics. So we intend a rapid, orderly closure over the next few days. All current employees will be paid through today, January 21. A severance package will be offered tomorrow to full-time current employees with more than six months of tenure.
We will strive to assist affiliates and partners in achieving a smooth transition. Starting at 6 pm EST today, we will provide our affiliates, listeners and users a selection of encore programming until 9 pm EST on Monday, January 25, at which time Air America programming will end.
We are proud that Air America’s mission lives on through the words and actions of so many former radio hosts who are active today in progressive causes and media nationwide. In the years ahead, as we look back, we should all be proud of our passionate determination to assure that our nation’s progressive voice would be heard loud and clear. Through the hard work and dedication of current staff, and those who preceded you, a lasting legacy was forged which will now continue through other voices and venues.
Thank you.
No, thank you, Air America. Thank you for the years of laughs you gave rational Americans.
Thank you for providing radio jobs for untalented leftist hacks who couldn’t possibly have found them anywhere else.
Thank you for helping left wing millionaires piss their money away when it could have gone to far more effective uses.
Thank you. Thank you a million times over.

You’ll never learn this from the biased liberal media, but Barack Obama is Chicago’s answer to malaprop-prone comedian Norm Crosby. He has a habit of throwing out those big ol’ Harvard vocabulary words while intending to use words with completely different meanings, but similar sounds.
You’ll never learn this from the biased liberal media, but Barack Obama is Chicago’s answer to malaprop-prone comedian Norm Crosby. He has a habit of throwing out those big ol’ Harvard vocabulary words while intending to use words with completely different meanings, but similar sounds.
For example, last month he said we were on “precipice” of achieving universal health care. The second meaning of precipice is “The brink of a dangerous or disastrous situation” and although we’re confident that’s not the meaning President Obama meant to convey, we have to give him credit for refreshing honesty.
Now, perhaps, we’re being too harsh on the President. After all, the first meaning of precipice is “an overhanging or extremely steep mass of rock, such as a crag or the face of a cliff” and for all we know he said it while standing on the edge of Mount Rushmore surveying where his giant head should go.
(But then this morning, as you can see in the video, we watched him not even being able to pronounce the fancy-shmancy word in his “Kill the Bankers” populist speech.)
Lest you think he simply misspoke the first time, check out this report from ABC News:
“President Obama said this evening that the nation is on the ‘doorstop’ of accomplishing the health insurance reform, and Republicans will be mistaken if they believe they can campaign against it during this year’s midterm elections.
Of course, we assume he meant doorstep, since a doorstop is “an object or device used to hold a door open or closed, or to prevent a door from opening too widely.”
If he actually used the word he intended to use, there can only be one conclusion:
The President knows ObamaCare is going to fail and he intends to use the 2000-page bloated pig of a bill to prop open the door to the Oval Office to provide even easier accesss for union leaders and lobbyists.
In which case, we apologize.

A musical about Barack Obama just premiered in Der Faderland this weekend. 30 German singers, actors and dancers will perform in the musical “Hope — the Obama Musical Story”. The songs, believe it or not, are based on quotes from speeches made during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.

We say this dog is destined to open and close in one night.
If the producers really want their musical to be a hit, we say rethink the whole thing. Make it more like Mamma Mia! and build it around new arrangements of old rock ‘n roll hits.
We’re talking gold, baby, gold.
So here’s IHateTheMedia.com’s idea of what would make a Hope: The Obama Musical Story a huge international hit.

Our first reaction was, “Really? Chuck Schumer wrote a book?” Our second reaction was, “Hmmm. Surprised it sold that many copies?” And our third reaction was, “This massive rejection by America’s literati may help explain why the New York Democrat’s always in such a pissy mood.”
Our first reaction was, “Really? Chuck Schumer wrote a book?”
Our second reaction was, “Hmmm. Surprised it sold that many copies?”
And our third reaction was, “This massive rejection by America’s literati may help explain why the New York Democrat’s always in such a pissy mood.”
The New York Post reports Schumer’s tale of stone cold sales:
“Politicos are snickering at the plight of Sen. Charles Schumer, who holds more press conferences than any other lawmaker but can’t seem to connect with the public. His book, “Positively American,” released in 2007, sold 9,000 copies in hardcover and fewer than 1,000 in paperback, according to Nielsen Bookscan, which tracks about 75 percent of the nation’s book sales. By comparison, Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue” sold 1 million copies in two weeks.”
Far be it from us to doubt the New York Post, but we think its story contains a major error.
We don’t doubt that people are snickering at Schumer. We’re just not sure it has anything to do with his book.

The man has lost his mind. He is literally insane. How else can you interpret this comment from the MSNBC host in reaction to Republican Scott Brown’s dramatic victory?
“…the Republicans and the Tea Partiers will tell you what happens with Scott Brown tonight whether he wins or comes close is a repudiation of Obama policies. And surely one of Obama’s policies from the viewpoint of his opponents is it’s OK to have this sea-change in American history—to have an African-American president. Is this vote to any degree just another euphemism the way ‘states rights’ was in the ’60s?”

Media Matters, the rabid left wing media “watchdog” group, ran a lengthy, lengthy, lengthy story about Fox and Friends’ biased coverage of the White House’s bribery alleged bribery of Big Labor last week. It carried the shocking headline “Fox & Friends described as fact that the excise tax extension given to unions was a ‘bribe’ for support and votes.”

We’re right there with you, Media Matters. How dare those bastards at Fox News be so dishonest? Why, it’s almost like promising that all healthcare negotiations would be carried on C-Span or something crazy like that.
On second thought, if it had been on C-Span Fox News could have proved it was a bribe and removed the sliver of doubt to which Obama apologists like Media Matters so desperately cling.
Keep up the…uhhh…work.

Oh, my. Martha Coakley and her husband, Thomas F. O’Connor, Jr., got up bright and early this morning and went down to cast their ballots at their neighborhood polling place in Medford, Massachusetts.
As they entered, Coakley tried to shake hands with the police officer at the door. To say he was unenthusiastic would be an understatement.
Then her husband, a former cop, extended his hand, but the cop on duty not only missed the first attempt, but made no attempt at a second effort.
There’s something else Martha can’t shake – the sense that she’s going to lose.
