Sunday Roundup

So we have the Republican­s who ran on a platform of creating "Jobs" now focusing their attention on cutting spending that helps create jobs (like Health Care Reform) and on cuts that reduce employment (e.g., everything with the name "public" attached to it, except prisons). But, we have at least one Republican­, Trump, who's proved that promoting the "birther agenda" DOES increase employment - his own. He just nabbed a job with Fox. Brilliant!

Juan Williams: Defund NPR

Dear Brother Juan,



I know you found working for NPR uncomforta­ble since you were one of the only African American men of any stature to ever be hired by them. I know you believed that as a leader of the so-called "liberal biased" media, NPR should have been at the forefront of having more Black men as analysts, hosts, reporters, executive managers, etc. You saw this as very hypocritic­al of them, and you also saw them as basically taking you for granted as their "token Black guy." In other words, you saw NPR as a "liberal media plantation­," so you took liberties to feather your nest over at Fox and rumple their feathers to boot.



But why HAVEN"T you made the issue of NPR's employment record regarding African Americans an issue now? Why not make THAT case while at the same time making the case that NPR should keep its funding while it also commits to increasing its employment of Black men? At least NPR is more likely to cover stories regarding African Americans in a way that is less prejudiced than the mainstream media, like Fox.



Well, it looks like you've given up being an advocate for African Americans as you once were and actually prefer being the "only one." Have you came down with a case of "Fox Fact-free Fever" because their "token pay" is higher and they treat you like a "house slave" rather than the "field slave" you felt at NPR?

F&F. I'm sure you've noticed some of the less "well spoken" of their lot around these here parts in the past. My guess is that now that AOL is here, Roves' bringing in the PR types rather than the late night "meth heads" to project their "full spectrum dominance" here.

Beck is right. And the evidence is that Obama hasn't had the FCC pull Fox' broadcast license.

Desperately Seeking Their Own Rove: Democrats Try Catching GOP In Outside Money Chase

F & F. Great point. Reminds me of one of Rove's hero's, Ayn Rand, who admired the "genius" of a contempora­ry of hers - a man named William Edward Hickman, who famously stated, "What is good for me is right." This is what she said about Hickman and his quote, "The best and strongest expression of a real man's psychology I have ever heard." The only problem is this. Hickman gained his notoriety as America's most infamous serial killer in the 1920s. http://mic­haelpresco­tt.typepad­.com/micha­el_prescot­ts_blog/20­05/05/ayn_­rands_real­_.html



So now you can see the lineage that the right-wing looks to for their inspiratio­n and why their adopted motto is, "What is good for us is right," no matter how immoral, unethical, or indeed, murderous in its outcomes.
