Report: US Intel Agencies "Insufficently Aggressive" Posted December 31, 2009 by Jerry Bader

Libs spent the last a years saying terrorists were a Bush Administration created bogeyman, villifying our intelligence agencies and then they wonder why the same agencies were "insufficently aggressive" when it came to ferreting out a terror threat? Are you kidding me? And it's going to be Bush's fault. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

Is Black Unemployment so High Because Blacks Don't Want to Work? Posted December 31, 2009 by Jerry Bader

This is a fascinating column by black racist Eugene Kane of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He is among black writers who feel President Obama hasn't done enough to deal with the crisis of black unemployment. One such column elicited a response from a black Milwaukee businessman who said it's not lack of jobs, it's lack of will by black men to hold a steady job. The contortionist act Kane goes into to try disagree with "George" while conceding George knows what the hell he's talking about and Kane doesn't is hysterical. Kane calls this the same type of "racist blather of some politicians and media types."

Is "George" a racist? A black man who has turned his life around and now sees the systemic problem in the black community that the so-called "black leadership," which in Milwaukee includes Eugene Kane, refuses to see, is racist? Of course not, he's just wrong, according to Kane. So what's really funny here is how Kane tells the black male community to stop being the way George says they are so they can prove George wrong. Watch out Eugene, you're going to pull a muscle stretching that way.

Rush Limbaugh Update Posted December 31, 2009 by Jerry Bader

I received the following email this morning from EIB concerning Rush Limbaugh's hospitalization in Honolulu yesterday after suffering chest pains:

Rush was admitted to and is resting comfortably in a Honolulu hospital today after suffering chest pains. Rush appreciates your prayers and well wishes, and he will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com and on today's radio program. As planned Walter Williams will be our guest host today.

Here's the latest from KITV in Honolulu.

Woman Arrested with a BAC of .708 Posted December 30, 2009 by Jerry Bader

It happened in South Dakota. I didn't think this was possible. As the story points out, .40 is considered lethal in about half of the population. .708??? That's approaching hard liquor! It seems almost impossible to me that the human body, ANY human body can function with that level of alcohlic toxicity. (h/t to loyal listener and contributer John)

Grothman Wants State to Take over Madison's Snow Removal Posted December 30, 2009 by Jerry Bader

This sounds a bit extreme. I'm usually a big believer in local control. I guess the question for me is this: how much are Madison residents complaining? Is Grothman speaking up for residents who feel powerless to deal with this problem. Seems to me most every Wisconsin City sees its residents complain about this. Is Madison really that much worse than the rest as Grothman claims?

The Rich Delay the Grim Reaper to Beat the Estate Tax Posted December 30, 2009 by Jerry Bader

It's bad enough families of the wealthy have to wrestle with keeping them on life support until January first purely for estate tax reasons, but the truly macabre element of this story comes near the end; will some "near end of life" wealthy commit euthanasia in 2010 to take advantage of the one year window for the benefit of their heirs? The entire scenario is just ghastly.

Fox/Time Warner Dispute Won't impact network programming on Fox 11 Posted December 30, 2009 by Jerry Bader

Some news stories are suggesting that the end of the year dispute between Time Warner Cable and Fox could disurpt some Fox network programming, such as "24" and "Idol." However, that is NOT the case in Wisconsin, including Fox 11 in Green Bay. Fox 11's Pat Krohlow explained to me in an email this morning why this doesn't impact network content on Fox 11:

The negotiation is between Network owned stations and TWC. The nearest network owned station is Chicago. This does not affect local affiliates like Fox 11 in Green Bay. Our deal withTWC was done last year. It will affect some cable channels like Speed, Fuel, FX and Fox Sports Channel.

So now you know.
