Just finished watching this week's edition of Inside the NFL on HBO and in the first ten minute segment Bob Costas, Dan Marino, Chris Collinsworth and Cris Carter talked about the incident from the Pacers/Pistons game in Detroit last Friday night and the implications for the NFL. In summary Bob Costas blamed fan behaviour in Detroit and in general on talk radio, a totally outrageous statement.

Crash On The Levee ... 11/03/2004 02:23:15 pmThere is so much hilarious but also sad insanity on the left wing forums today - it would be an endless task trying to sum it up. However, appropriately to this site, here's a sample of something from a Dylan related forum: I feel sick. Come see us in four years, when it will be mandatory to attend Bob Jones University and against the law to breathe without permission, if we're even able to breathe through the pollution thanks to King George II's environmental policies. I look at my daughter right now and...

"My favorite politician was Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater"Bob Dylan, Chronicles, page 283 (published today 10/05/2004)"There was no point arguing with Dave (Van Ronk), not intellectually anyway. I had a primitive way of looking at things and I liked country fair politics. My favorite politician was Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, who reminded me of Tom Mix, and there wasn't any way to explain that to anybody. I wasn't that comfortable with all the psycho polemic babble."

Bob Schieffer did not even try to hide his bias for John Kerry, on CNN's Larry King Live, tonight, Monday, 10-04-04. Bob Schieffer began his talk with King by taking up for Dan Rather and by saying when asked what he thought about Rather's situation, that he thought it was terrible, that people were going to these lengths. Terrible that, the bloggers on the Internet were waging a Jhad -- Holy War -- on Dan Rather. Bob Schieffer said that he was pleased that John Kerry is up in the polls. Schieffer said that he believed it was due to...

Kerry Denies Owning Chinese Assault Rifle ... 09/27/2004 b... while Bob Dylan boasts of owning a "clip-fed Winchester blasting rifle."Alright. I wasn't going to go to town on the Newsweek excerpt from Chronicles. I really wanted to wait until I could read the whole book. Only thing is, I didn't count on what the rest of the world was going to do. How can Right Wing Bob keep silent when everyone else is hyperventilating over Dylan saying of his hippie tormentors, "I wanted to set fire to these people" ... ?

It's not easy being a counterculture icon - just ask Bob Dylan. The unwitting voice of the Make Love, Not War Generation has written a memoir chronicling the agonies of fame, which include a plague of peaceniks so intrusive that he kept guns in his house and "wanted to set fire to these people." In an excerpt from "Chronicles, Volume I" published in the current Newsweek, Dylan bemoans the consequences of writing "songs that were dead straight and expressed powerful new realities." "I had very little in common with and knew even less about a generation that I was supposed...

Daily Ramblings:The Circus Is In Town ... 09/21/2004No choice but to reprise this for Dan Rather. Sing it loud and try not to choke up:Every moment of existence seems like some dirty trick Happiness can come suddenly and leave just as quick Any minute of the day the bubble could burst Try to make things better for someone, sometimes, You just end up making it a thousand times worseThis whole story and its ever-increasing list of names is beginning to resemble a surrealistic Dylan story song. We've got Bill Burkett, Lucy Ramirez, George Conn (con?! - and he is said...

If anyone missed BobJ on Paula Zahn's show, they missed a pivotal point in the ascendancy of FreeRepublic. He kicked ass during his interview discussing the CBS forgeries. Absolutely TOP NOTCH!!!

My good friend Bob Krumm brought this interesting tidbit to my attention on Friday. I remember listening to the show, but hadn't thought about it since the questionable Bush related Guard documents surfaced. Cutting and pasting from Bob's email: Nashville radio talk show may give us a clue about who had prior knowledge of the forged documents The next question regarding the 60 Minutes fraud is: who gave the CBS show the bogus documents? Veteran Nashville broadcaster, Teddy Bart on his daily radio show, “Teddy Bart’s Roundtable” may have given us a clue about who knew about the documents...

Argument With A Leftist In 1964, Bob Dylan released the album "Another Side Of Bob Dylan." While he later complained that he didn't pick the title - feeling that it was "overstating the obvious"(Biograph, 1985) - the album was a departure of sorts, with its unabashed emphasis on the exploration of the internal world, and its lack of obvious "protest" songs. (In fairness to Dylan, he had never released anything on record that was merely a finger-pointing protest song, and he had already written and released numerous and exquisite personal songs like "One Too Many Mornings" and "Boots Of Spanish...

Bob Dole Slams Kerry By Andrew L. Jaffee, August 23, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms Nothing has really changed for Democratic hopeful John Kerry, except that real war veterans, like Bob Dole, are questioning the “superficial wounds” and resulting “medals” he received during four (4) months service in Vietnam. Kerry is still flailing, trying to cover up a career punctuated by extreme left-wing politics and flip-flopping by talking to voters about his military service. He squandered his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention by trying to convince Americans that his tour of duty in Vietnam will make him a great commander...

BLITZER: In just 11 days, President Bush will lay out his case for four more years in office when he formally accepts his party's nomination at the Republican National Convention in New York. Joining us now with his special insight into this presidential race, the former Republican presidential nominee, Bob Dole. Thanks very much for joining us. BOB DOLE, FORMER U.S. SENATOR: Wolf, thank you. BLITZER: Let's talk a little bit about this whole Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad campaign, what's going on. It's a sensitive subject. I'm interested in your thoughts. First of all, let's have a little...

A British woman born without arms or legs is suing Air France, claiming she was told she could not fly because she has no limbs. Adele Price, 42, claims an Air France employee in Manchester told her "one head, one bottom and a torso cannot possibly fly on its own". Ms Price, from Mansfield, Notts, is suing the airline in a New York court and is seeking unspecified damages. Air France was not available for comment on Saturday morning. Ms Price was born without limbs because her mother took the drug thalidomide during pregnancy. She said in her legal action...

In her own words, or merely re-airing Democratic attacks? Thursday night's NewsNight with Aaron Brown on CNN included a five minute segment that Brown promised would reveal "in her own words...what Dr. Rice said in some of the more contentious moments" of her appearance before the 9/11 Commission that morning. But the MRC's Ken Shepherd discovered that Rice's actual comments amounted to just 2 minutes and 28 seconds of the segment, less than half of the segment. Nearly all of the remainder highlighted the lengthy and adversarial questions to Rice from the most blatantly partisan Democrats on the panel, former...

The race for the open United States Senate seat left by Sen. Don Nickles is heating up. Those running include Tom Coburn, Bob Anthony, Kirk Humphries, as the Republicans. The Democrat is Brad Carson. Bob Anthony came and spoke to the OSU College Republicans. Bob is a first class kind of guy. He spoke about different things he's done as Corporation Commissioner. Including wearing an FBI wire, and getting people put away who were trying to bribe him. He spoke of a race in the 80's for Corporation Commissioner. A Democrat had held the seat for 40 years. Everyone told...

EVEN THE very heavens saluted Bob Marley on his 59th birthday. Bunny Wailer had just finished praying for his fellow original Wailer, saying that "Bob is a special individual created by the Most High", the birthday cake had been cut and Rastaman Vibration was rocking easy from the sound system at 10:07 p.m. Then an arm went up and a finger pointed to the sky above 56 Hope Road, St. Andrew in the direction of Papine. More arms and fingers quickly followed and there was a gathering chorus of roars, much like a wave building to a peak as it...

Texas Tech coach Bob Knight has been suspended for five days, a result of his verbal confrontation with university chancellor David Smith on Monday at a grocery store in Lubbock, ESPN's Dick Vitale reports. Pat Knight will replace his father as coach of the Red Raiders for their home game Tuesday night against Baylor, ESPN.com's Andy Katz reports. Pat Knight, aware of the five-day action, also assumes he will coach the team Saturday when the Red Raiders visit Kansas in Lawrence. However, neither Pat Knight or the rest of the Texas Tech coaching staff had been told definitely that Bob...

The Congressman Who Cried Wolf Every red-blooded American has heard of the little boy who cried wolf. It’s a story of a young shepherd who used the people’s fear of wolves to get attention. He cried wolf when there was none and laughed as the people scurried to stop an imagined threat. Congressman Bob Ney is like this little shepherd. Congressman Ney was quoted in an article entitled “Terrorists plan DC Fund Raiser” in “The Hill” magazine. His accusations implied an Al-Quida like front group was planning the destruction of the American way of life right under our noses. He...
