During NBA half-time broadcast on ABC:     "...and we want to wish Happy Mothers to all you mothers out there."

(left out the "Day"  +  the other obvious gaffe)

 

 

 

 

 

Donald Trump is making a lot of waves in the media with his pseudo campaign for President and his pursuit of the birther issue.  One of his latest rants involves his statement that Obama wasn't qualified for an Ivy League education.

 

I really think that the old adage of "clean up your own back yard" should be the driving force behind the Donald's antics.

 

Below are a few samples of actual Twitter tweets from his daughter Ivanka.

 

@IvankaTrump Just landed in Texas. I love it hear in Big D!!!

(what's that sound??????????)

Hear should be here

@IvankaTrump So excited that @TrumpCollection will be featured on tonights @ApprenticeNBC I hope the teams can make us proud!

(how many tonights?????)

Tonights...should be tonight's

@IvankaTrump I'm watching mother's hide Easter eggs in the front lawn of the hotel that I'm staying at this weekend...very cute! Happy Easter everyone!

(the hide belonging to the mother??????????????)

Mother's should be Mothers'

Perhaps we should demand to see Ivanka's transcripts, or better yet, her birth certificate to verify she is actually the offspring of the oh so intelligent
Donald.

That's just my opinion ... I could be right.

Best news story intro ever...

clear, succinct, non-biased....

no "crying wolf" with pseudo "alert" intro ....

Brooke Baldwin - CNN -

"Now ... watch this..."

..................straight to the point !

...also

"Take a look at this video with me"

"Now, hear this..."

Overheard during the radio broadcast of the Gators vs Bruins game today ..."..and he scores with only 3 seconds to STARE."

Damn...guess I should have been WATCHING the game!

Every few days it seems like one of the feature "expert" panels on one of Fox's many discussion forums is made up mostly, if not entirely, of members of the Tea Party movement or the Congressional Tea Party Caucus.

 

As I watch these various Tea Party discussions I am taken back to a time many, many years ago  when my daughter was just a child...sitting with her friends around a little dollhouse size table ... cups, saucers, and teapot placed before them in their cute little make believe, pretend tea party.

 

I guess when it comes to tea parties ... some things never change!

Nancy Grace:

Questioning respected CNN reporter Gary Tuchman reporting live from Japan.... questions his accuracy in reporting death toll ...

"I don't believe that there are only 13,000 dead from the catastrophe...I think Japanese government is hiding something from us. Why would they do that?"

....actual confirmed death toll from multiple sources at this time is only 6,700 .... where is she getting her numbers?

....with hundreds of thousands missing and feared dead, the Japanese government certainly has higher priorities than answering to a has-been hack lawyer trying to sell more books and promote her own agenda (daytime TV justice program) .

Really, Nancy....REALLY!!???!!

Same show - Friday, March 18, 2011, -different segment:

Despite all experts, medical...scientific...government...and independent.., stating quite simply that radiation levels reaching the United States from Japan are minimum and in no way pose a threat to the American people, Miss Grace Under Fire leads with a teaser that " ...radiation has now reached the coast of California and Governor Brown has declared a "state of emergency" (implying state of emergency is result of radiation levels).

She then "throws" it to a radio reporter from Los Angeles who proceeds to correct her by stating that the Governor's declaration is due to the tsunami damage along the California coast.

While the reporter is voicing a report about "2 million dollars in damages to California coastline"....the producers are running a video clip of the 24 ft tsunami waves ravaging the Japanese coastline with "BILLIONS" of dollars in damages and untold loss of life as if to imply that the video is of the California tsunami.

Did you minor in "ethics" in college, Nancy??????

 

Rush Limbaugh spent time today talking about his loss of hearing and resultant implant.   He commented during the show that he has trouble hearing what other people are saying....well, no surprise here.

 

He also said that at times, depending on ambient white noise, he can't even hear what he is saying.

 

This takes me back to the late 80's and  early 90's.  I worked the board at a radio station that aired Rush's syndicated EIB broadcasts.  Twenty something years ago, as well as to this date, I asked and  continue to ask of Rush ...

 

...................."DO YOU HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING??!!???"
