“Law & Order’s” lies

On a recent episode of “Law & Order,” the show’s liberal bias was once again on display. In an episode which dealt with illegal immigration, a character made this assertion:

“Limbaugh, Beck, O’Reilly, all of ‘em, they are like a cancer spreading ignorance and hate…They’ve convinced folks that immigrants are the problem, not corporations that fail to pay a living wage or a broken health care system…”

So, if you are to believe Dick Wolfe and those on the “Law & Order” team, anyone who believes the United States has the right to determine who can or cannot enter the country is spreading ignorance and hate. If you mention that illegal aliens are taking jobs and bringing down wages, you’re spreading ignorance and hate. » read more

 
 
 

Tiger Woods doesn’t owe us an apology

It bothers me when people get wrapped up in the private lives of celebrities, and it bothers me almost as much when these celebrities feel the need to issue an apology. Tiger Woods is the latest celebrity to fall into this trap. He released this statement yesterday:

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect. » read more

 
 
 

Michael Moore warns Barack Obama about ‘the haters’

One of the most annoying, nauseating people around is director Michael Moore. On the day before Barack Obama is set to announce his plans for Afghanistan, we have Michael Moore encouraging the President to ignore “the haters.”

According to Michael Moore, Obama is trying to satisfy the “tea baggers,” and will essentially be betraying the trust placed in him by those who voted for him. I’m not sure if Michael Moore realizes this, but does he know that Osama Bin Laden was operating from Afghanistan? Does he know that if the U.S. were to depart, the country would become even more chaotic and controlled by terrorists? » read more

 
 
 

Take your pick: Buy an XBox 360 or flush your money down the toilet

If you’re in the market for an XBox 360, Playstation 3, or a Nintendo Wii, you might want to check out this video first. A recent survey found that almost 60% of XBox 360 owners have reported problems with their consoles, compared to just 16% for Playstation 3 and 6% for Nintendo Wii. Microsoft’s problems are so well-know, that the “red ring of death” and other technical problems, are the subject of their own Wikipedia article.

The XBox might be a great system to play, and I know it has its fans, but who wants to spend hundreds on a console that is likely to break in less than a year? Consumer electronics tend to have a failure rate of 15% over their first 3 to 4 years of use. This is understandable, since regular use can take its toll on any item. However, when a company’s product tends to fail more often than not over a relatively short period of time, it should probably be avoided.

 
 
 

Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and a nauseating Christmas special

Do you have any plans on December 13th at 10pm? If you have nothing better to do, you can watch Oprah Winfrey’s Christmas Special. It will include a tour of the White House, a conversation with Barack and Michelle Obama, and an interview with the President. I’m sure the interview will be filled with hard-hitting questions.

The celebrity President will probably be right at home, since there will likely be several teleprompters around. At any rate, I wonder why the special is aring on ABC rather than Fox News? I think Glenn Beck would have done a great job hosting.

 
 
 

Roman Polanski to be released on bail?

A Swiss court has decided to release Roman Polanski on $4.5 million bail. As of the moment, Polanski is still in jail, but will be released if the government doesn’t contest the decision. If he is released, he will stay at his chalet and be monitored electronically. The court feels he isn’t a flight risk, since he has two minor children and a wife who he needs to support.

This is a shocking decision. Here is a man who didn’t feel he should have finished a small amount of jail time 32 years ago and fled the country. He has proven how little respect he has for the justice system and deserves to stay in prison until a formal extradition hearing is conducted.

Of course, Roman Polanski feels he can do what ever he wants. He gave champagne and quaaludes to a 13 year old girl, raped her, and only received a slap on the wrist 32 years ago. That was obviously too much for him in his opinion, so he fled.

Hopefully, Roman Polanski will be extradited to the United States and face the consequences of his decisions. The legal system went easy on him last time. If there is any justice, that won’t happen again.

 
 
 

Adam Lambert claims discrimination after American Music Awards performance

I usually don’t watch music award shows any more. As a fan of rock and indie bands, there usually isn’t much that would interest me. Thankfully, I also missed this year’s American Music Awards. I could certainly do without seeing Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Janet Jackson, and of course, Adam Lambert. As a matter of fact, if it wasn’t for Adam Lambert’s performance, I probably wouldn’t have known about one thing that occurred on the show, which tells you something about the quality you can expect.

As you might have heard, Adam Lambert’s performance involved him groping women, kissing the male keyboardist, then shoving a dancer’s face into his crotch to simulate oral sex. The performance was edited for the west coast audience, and Good Morning America has cancelled a scheduled concert because of his antics. What’s Adam Lambert’s reaction? He feels discriminated against! » read more
