Important Stuff -- Or Not: Ho Hum

Ho Hum

I can't think of a story I care less about, but that doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. Perky Katie Couric is going to leave the Today Show to anchor the CBS Evening News, the program that has been on the air for 58 years without a female anchor. I haven't watched either show since Fox News became available. This woman makes a minimum of $15 million a year. Nobody is worth $15 million a year, particularly no journalist, and super-particularly not Katie Couric. Having said that, I have to say, good for you, Katie! For someone so anti-American, you sure know how to manipulate the American system to get whatever the market will bear. I think the sigh of relief at Today will make Katrina look like a spring breeze. From what I hear, Katie has become a Diva on the scale of Hillary Clinton. Her ego is so big, it can be seen from space. People at NBC are afraid to pass her in the hallway. And the people at CBS? In a phone interview on Wednesday's Imus in the Morning radio show, Andy Rooney told Don Imus, "I don't know anybody at CBS News who is pleased that she's coming here." From what I've heard, perky Katie doesn't do well reading from a Tele-Prompter. I predict a further slide in CBS's ratings. I wonder if she'll go back to calling herself Katherine. And who's replacing perky Katie on the Today Show? Someone just as liberal but not nearly as perky, Meredith Vieira of The View. Whereas Katie can tilt her head and look like an inquisitive pekinese, Meredith tilts her head and gray matter dribbles out. This is the woman who once said of the Iraq War, "Everything's been built on lies. Everything! I mean the entire pretext for war." Vieira -- like all liberals -- seems to lack that Little Friend that resides in a broadcaster's head and tells him to shut up before he says something stupid. My Little Friend has saved me from disaster numerous times over the course of my career. I have watched The View a total of once, and the experience finally gave me insight into why the Founding Fathers did not want women to vote. Vieira will get only $10 million a year. Chump change. Again, I predict a slide in ratings. Of course, the last time Today's ratings went up is when Bryant Gumbel left.

Trader Rick said...: The sheer pity of it is that Katie IS worth the 15 million. It's all about money, and these networks wouldn't pay somebody that kind of dough unless there was a net gain through ratings and commercials money.

Plus, if your ratings are down, you're not getting your Anti-American proaganda out to as many households.

My bet is that CBS news gets a HUGE boost in ratings initially, then it falls off.

It really is a shame. CBS is really the GRAND WHORE OF BABYLON when it comes to Journalism.; 5:19 AM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
