Beck Changes Birthday To December 25th
As a followup to his call for a Fast and Prayer for the Republic on the same day as Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement and the religion’s highest holy day, Glenn Beck has officially changed his birthday to December 25th, a day some have been known to celebrate a holiday called Christmas.
“I thought that our founders would have wanted future Americans to celebrate my birthday on a day they didn’t have to work,” said Beck.
When it was explained that December 25th was also the birth date of Jesus Christ, Beck Read more
Cronkite Successor: O’Reilly or Stewart? (Steve In Ink: Philly Inquirer)
YOUR MOMENT OF ZEN (Philadelphia Inquirer)
As Walter Cronkite - the last “most trusted newscaster” - passed on to that great newsroom in the sky, joining the other most trusted newscaster - Edward R. Murrow, who coincidentally recruited Cronkite to CBS - Time Magazine released a poll naming Jon Stewart, of Comedy Central’s Daily Show, America’s most trusted newscaster.
In a New York Times oped, Frank Rich opted that Stewart was not one properly positioned to hold that title.
How many of those with similarly exalted perches in the news media today — and those perches, however diminished, still do exist in the multichannel digital age — will speak truth to power when the country is on the line? This journalistic responsibility cannot be outsourced to Comedy Central and Jon Stewart.
But Rich’s belief is embedded in what used to be, not with what newscasting has morphed into; media Read more

Remember…Fear sells!
There’s far more danger than meets the eye in President Obama’s program. While he promises affordable health insurance for everyone, what he and the Democrats aren’t telling you is that there will be hell to pay if you’re over 55. To the Democrats, 55 is the new 95.
Some of the programs and events that will be affected or prohibited altogether under the president’s tax hike health program include…

That Rumble You Heard Was O’Reilly Turning Over In His Grave: How The Far Right Elected Al Franken
“I don’t know if we’ve ever had an opponent who is so disliked by Republicans as Al Franken,” said Minnesota Republican Party Chair Ron Carey. “It’s one thing to lose to an honorable opponent, but Al Franken is not considered an honorable opponent by Minnesota Republicans.”
If Mr. Carey and the rest of the Republicans would like to see how they’ve come to realize their - as well as Bill O’Reilly’s worst nightmare - they need only look in the mirror.
When I sat down in 2002 to speak with Franken about how seemingly adversarial conditions played a positive part in his life for my book, “Great Failures of the Extremely Successful,” he had no idea that some of his greatest adversaries would help him to become a member of one of America’s most exclusive clubs…the U.S. Senate.
Back then I brought up the possibility of Franken going in to talk radio, but he Read more
