VIDEO Liberals are DESPERATE for Justice Stephen Breyer to retire from the Supreme Court. Unfortunately for them it appears that Justice Breyer is NOT retiring thus creating very entertaining liberal angst as you can see.

Now that Greece has elected a new prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, he’s announced his first order of business: receive the money owed to them from Germany in part of unpaid World War II reparations, reported The Washington Post. Tsipras is part of the Greek left-wing Syriza party, and, according to the Post, the Syriza party has been “outspoken about the need for Germany to atone for its past in Greece.” In a move symbolic of that sentiment, Tsipras visited the Kaisariani rifle range to honor 200 Greek activists who were murdered by Nazi soldiers in 1944. A two-year-old study estimated...

I guess this should be filed in the "Washington Politics" thread ... I'm an African American registered Democrat. I don't mind giving conservative Republicans hell when they deserve it. But unlike many conservative, I don't mind speaking out against my Party when I think they are wrong and encouraging them to do the right thing. Anyway, white liberals are having fits about the article posted below, which was written by me and published on my blog, in Black newspapers across the country, and at the liberal Daily Kos blog. I'm posting the article here because I'd like to have some...

Add a dollop of dementia. A pinch of paranoia. A smidgeon of socialism. Mix it all together into an ideological olio and half-bake at 450 degrees. Voila! You have the next MSNBC primetime host. Ever since news got out that MSNBC wants to create a new show for its 7:00 p.m. time slot, fans of libtalk radio have been flooding the lefty cable network with unsolicited endorsements of various libtalk hosts Two fan-based Facebook groups have been founded to promote..

...Combining his interests in comedy and politics, Seder then wrote, directed, and starred in a movie about Senator Joe Lieberman's fictional son, a guy so agitated about the 2000 presidential election that he tries to blow up a building. The film, whose cast also included Silverman, Benjamin, Cross, Maron, and Garofalo, was just a few weeks shy of being finished when 9/11 came. ``On Sept. 10, the notion of a zealot orchestrating a terrorist attack because he's frustrated that his voice isn't being heard was kind of funny," says Seder. ``On Sept. 11, it wasn't." Political commitment In the aftermath...

*** Exclusive To The Radio Equalizer *** Has Janeane Garofalo's liberal talk show been declared FUBAR by Air America Radio? With one source indicating (via hard copy information) that it may leave the airwaves as soon as tonight, it appears very likely that the self- loathing and acerbic talker / actress / Hollywood political hothead may already have done her last show.

When Air America's epitaph is finally chiselled into a cold granite headstone, which antics will be most remembered as standout, rock-bottom moments? The Randi Rhodes Show's Bush execution skit? Or Al Franken clearing the room with a long-winded radio convention speech? The Radio Equalizer hereby nominates Air America host Sam Seder, who's managed not only to make the liberal radio network look less credible than ever before, but at the same time, taken CNN itself down for the count. It was audience tune-out, defined.

        Pardon my naiveté, but I was unaware that the venom, nastiness, and malice spewed so rampantly and callously on Air America.        On Air America's Mike Malloy show on Friday night, September 2, 2005 (link to entire show audio (3 hrs.)), Malloy said this about our First Lady, Laura Bush (audiotape on file) (emphasis mine): "A murderer herself. Somebody getting killed, one of her former boyfriends, in a drunken stupor, being behind the wheel of a car ... So here's Laura Bush, another killer. This Bush family. In order to get in the Bush family, it's like the way it...

I saw this on a blog (alanskorski.blogspot.com), but I had to hear it myself to believe it. On the Thursday (July 7, 2005) episode of Air America's "The Majority Report" with Sam Seder and Janeane Garofalo, Sam Seder introduced an audio clip of Brit Hume by saying this: "Let's go to Brit Hume, the horrible scumbag, who many people consider somewhat responsible for the fact that his son committed suicide."The link above is to the audio of the entire Thursday show. The remark is about 10-20% of the way into the show. (If anyone knows how to record, isolate, and...

Left of the Dial, which looks to be a 90-minute documentary that will deliver a glowing tribute to the left wing Air America radio talk show service, will debut Thursday night on HBO. The HBO Web site touted how "a group of investors set out to launch a liberal radio network that would challenge the dominance of America's airwaves by conservative talk radio." A synopsis of the documentary recounted how "in the days before launch, the energy picks up amidst a whirlwind of photo shoots, CNN sound bites, the creation of marketing/PR materials, and delivery of the hot-off-the-presses New York...
