With the news that Oprah Winfrey may take her daily talk show away from broadcast affiliates and to her own OWN cable network, that got us wondering: should Glenn Beck, now the #2 show on cable despite airing in he afternoons, be Oprah's syndicated replacement? Beck is well-rounded. Between his #1 best-selling books and comedy shows he's a three-dimensional talent that could easily adapt to daytimes. He could also use his radio audience to promote to local affiliates. Just yesterday, the New York Times reported novelists are considering Beck to be the "New Oprah," when it comes to endorsing political...

The producers better forget about getting any NEA grants! Chicago Tribune: Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care. The news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: "Why don't you show some respect?!" The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about...

Last night was an interesting evening indeed on the political front. As I’m sure most of you know by now, turnovers in New Jersey and Virginia seem to spell C-H-A-N-G-E in a way that conservatives can get behind it. But, being the communications-focused person that I am (did you catch my series on the messianic propaganda of Obama and Mao?), I really sat up and took notice of another interesting shift in the political winds that occurred last evening. ABC aired the premier of it’s new series, “V”—a contemporary remake of the big 80s hit. For those of you that...

God and guns Keep us strong that's what this country Was founded on Well we might aswell give up and run If we let them take our God and guns

Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch Trashes FOX News Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Jim Hoft Even children’s shows are not safe from the far left. Oscar the Grouch trashed FOX News this week: Big Hollywood reported: Last week, in a re-broadcast of an episode that originally aired two years ago, Oscar starts his own news network, GNN (Grouchy News Network). An irate viewer calls in to berate him that the news is not grouchy enough: “I am changing the channel. From now on I am watching ‘Pox’ News. Now there is a trashy news show.”

Cause that aint my America, that aint this country's roots You want to slam ol Uncle Sam but I aint lettin you I'm mad as hell and you know I still, bleed red white and blue That aint us, That aint my America, That Aint My America

The music world is all riled up again and this time it’s for “Climate Change”. Oh climate change, yeah!!! After the wild success of projects like: USA for Africa, Band Aid, Live Aid, Farm Aid they’re now singing for temperature. All we need now is a big pair of headphones for the sun and… wait and a spaceship! A solar powered spaceship! Brilliant! Sadly, the artists are lame and the song is not very creative. They’ve basically taken Midnight Oil’s 1987 hit “Beds are Burning” and got a 2nd grader that attended an ALGORE lecture on the end of the...

F/A-18 Hornet catches jihadist firing rockets at US base in Iraq, uses its M61 Vulcan gatling gun to turn them into pieces and spread them across the desert....

Iraqi jihadist planting an IED takes a 50 cal round to the head. Note: This is a long clip, I'd recommend fast forwarding to the 9:30 mark.

Best part: Insurgent tries to fires his AK-47 at one of the Apaches and is quickly gunned down with 30mm cannon fire (1:90 mark). 4 star clip

Filmmaker Michael Moore will probably want to steer clear of one of his favorite leftist countries -- Hugo Chavez's Venezuela -- after he inadvertently insulted El Presidente and enraged the strongman's rabid supporters. Chavez's devoted followers (no doubt at Chavez's behest) are deriding Moore as a liar, racist, and coward -- all for the filmmakers outrageous statements about their leader during an appearance on a late-night talk show, ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." (A film clip of the Oct. 9th show may be seen here.) Moore described a strange encounter with Chavez during last September's Venice Film Festival. Chavez was there...

Someone sent this to me last night! Unbelievable! I'm probably the last one to have ever seen it! Video!

Warning: If you don't like watching jihadists being cut to pieces by 30mm rounds then this isn't the video for you. If you are a fan, then it's game on!....

This is a great song! It's just aching for a good slide show! Enjoy!

History comes back to haunt us. Just over 20 years ago, the then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher told Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev: “Britain and western Europe are not interested in the unification of Germany. The words written in the NATO communique may sound different, but disregard them. We do not want the unification of Germany.” She went on to say... About one year after the construction of the wall, Peter Fechter attempted to flee from the GDR together with his friend Helmut Kulbeik. The plan was to hide in a carpenter’s workshop near the wall in Zimmerstrasse and, after...

When (pop rock band) U2 takes the stage of the Rose Bowl on Sunday night, the Irish band will have performed 42 shows on its 360° tour. They will have played in front of almost 3 million fans, broken dozens of attendance records and grossed close to $300 million. They will have drawn rapturous reviews, made the cover of Rolling Stone and given the troubled concert business a gigantic shot of adrenaline. What they won't have done is make any money. The U2 tour is so elaborate, its 170-ton, $40 million, four-pronged stage so enormous, its overhead so costly that...

The year is 2011. President Obama has just outlawed the private ownership of firearms, announced that the Constitution has been dissolved and revealed that the United States is going to be replaced by the North American Union, an amalgamation of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Revolution breaks out. Your part in this is to help capture Obama and the renegade Cong (former Congressional leaders). This is the premise of a new online community and game calling itself United States of Earth. The extensive site is almost overwhelming in the sheer amount of information it provides, but centers around a browser-based...

If I'm the first man to say it, it must be said: while good looking, Megan Fox is definitely not one of the hottest women in popular American culture. She just isn't. She's pretty good looking, whatever, but I don't see what people see in her. The media makes her seem like sex on wheels. There are so many more attractive women in the world; I don't understand all the attention. For example: Who is better looking... Megan Fox or

for example, from his rant against big bottled water: "... the huge soda companies decided to sell you bottled water which is from the same source as tap water, but guess what? when you sell it as natural and in a bottle, it's unregulated. at least tap water is regulated." this from a guy who is currently fined up to his eye balls as a result of pimping unregulated natural supplements for every disease imagineable, while blasting regulated big pharma. shameless.

Today's enlightened liberals are not so much into deconstructing rival iconic figures as they use to be. It may be because they are too busy fashioning alternative narratives, and sometimes even deliberately forgetting the lugubrious past history of some of their own cultural icons. Of course, there are grave errors inherent to this obscurantist approach, chief among which are the squandering of vitally important lessons for posterity, and a scoffing at wisdom that may otherwise be retained as a legacy they can proudly call their own. The indignant bickering from the Hollywood glitterati at the belated arrest of acclaimed Film...

Chris Rock’s “Good Hair” is funny, very funny, but all the jokes come at the expense of black women. There’s no question that in Good Hair, Chris Rock brings the funny. (Trolling the streets of Los Angeles, peddling “black hair” that no one wants.) There’s no question that he brings the outrage. (Showing a preschooler submitting to the “creamy crack”—a chemical relaxer.) There’s no question that he brings the dirt, getting celebrities to tell it. (Nia Long on her fake hair: “Weave sex is a little awkward.”) But while Rock’s foray into the tangled web of black women and their...

Ever since it was learned that radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was attempting to buy a share of the St. Louis Rams NFL franchise there has been a steady drumbeat to prevent this. The approach of those who oppose this is fairly predictable. They use race-baiting. There is a certain element in the United States – and you can add Western Europe – that labels as racism any criticism or parody of any issue or person who is African-American or Hispanic-American. Occasionally, this accusation is justified. Most of the time it is not, it is simply a smear tactic...

The jumpsuit has been a major feature at many of the catwalk shows for the last few seasons. I can only liken the jumpsuit to Marmite, you either love it or you hate it, definitely an acquired taste. Even those that love the jumpsuit still feel the need to justify and defend their decision to step out of the house wearing an all in one. But Why The jumpsuit has earned itself a reputation for being a difficult style to wear. Then there is the practicalities of going to the bathroom. But as every true fashionista knows, there are so...

During my life, I have learned God answers prayers in a number of ways. He can either say yes, no, not now or not your way. The Lord answered my prayers and those of many others regarding IFI's Fall Banquet. The event was an overwhelming success and I give praise to the Lord and thanks to those who supported IFI by attending the fundraiser featuring Governor Mike Huckabee last Tuesday in Rosemont, Illinois. Well over 800 good folks attended the dinner, including...

In light of the recent and base actions of David Letterman – which few are condemning in the liberal media – Mr. Letterman once again mocked Sarah Palin and made her the butt of his humor and sarcasm. I think it’s “funny” that Letterman has shown absolutely no remorse nor a hint of shame in the recent exposure of his adulterous scandal. The only remorse from Letterman has been that he was exposed and caught as an adulterer. It is just regarded as a joke and something to laugh at. In the godless, delusional Bizarro world of reprobate Hollywood, he...

Only in America can the lecherous leanings and extra-marital shenanigans of a dirty old man result in ratings gold and a national conversation. The David Letterman Show scored its highest ratings yet as he aired his sexual proclivities in public under the guise of apologizing to his wife for betraying her with a variety of casual sexual partners. Partners, who, by the way, could have lost their jobs on Letterman's whim if they somehow displeased him. Or if Letterman ran out of Viagra. Under the new rules implemented by self anointed elites, if a person is a celebrity, the normal...
