“Well, it's about time!”

OK, so it's been a while. A lot has happened since my last post, but I'm not going to open wounds that have started to heal.

A few months ago, after the Sirius/XM satellite radio merger was approved, I bought a Sirius radio. As cable changed TV, I believe satellite radio will do the same. There are a ton of commercial free music channels plus a lot of specially programmed talk stations. As you can imagine, two of the stations I listen to the most are Sirius Patriot (Conservative talk) and Sirius Left (Liberal talk). Obviously, I agree with a lot what is being said on Patriot and disagree with Sirius Left. This should not be a surprise to anyone who has read this blog. In this country the First Amendment affords us the right to freedom of expression and religion. We can pretty much say what we want without the threat of prosecution.
What should be shocking to everyone is the vile and degrading comments that come out of Sirius Left. Here are SOME of the comments I've heard from some of the hosts; “Bush is a mass murderer.”, “Bushie is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.”, “Palin's daughter is a white-trash whore!”, “Palin is a vagina without a brain. To be nominated for VP, her vagina must be pretty good!”. Why are they still talking about Palin? Bush's administration is also referred to as “The Bush Crime Family”. You don't hear this on Patriot. What do you think would happen if one of Patriot's hosts called Barack Obama the Chief “N” or Michelle Obama a “nappy headed...”? Somehow, I have a feeling that MSNBC, CNN, and the three networks would constantly replay the tape and that the NAACP, Jesse Jackson (don't get me started on him), and Al Sharpton (him either) would all organize protests/looting in the streets of New York.

The Democrats are continuing to push forward the notion of reinstating the “Fairness Doctrine”. Check out these with Senators Chuck Schumer (NY) on Fox News Channel and Jeff Bingaman (NM) on KKOB...Oh, the “higher level and more intelligent” discussion being referred to is the time when conservative talk was not around. Tell me, where else do you hear conservative views? Network press? Haha! Print media? You're kidding! Now that conservatives have a voice, they want to limit the message. I'd be for the “Fairness Doctrine” if half of the New York Times OpEd columns would need to be conservative!





Celtics – Are they back? It looks like it. They've won 8 in a row. They demolished the Mavs 124-100. Rajon Rondo seems to be getting better by the game. It was just last year when NBA experts were questioning his ability to run an NBA offense. Why? It's not like he came out of high school or played for a small college program. If you don't know, he played for two years in a college program steeped in tradition. He was the point guard for the Kentucky Wildcats. Yes, the same University of Kentucky where Adolph Rupp coached for 41 years, winning 876 games, and was forced into mandatory retirement by the university at 70. The same Kentucky Wildcat team lucky to have the lovely Ashley Judd (UK, '90) as one of their most passionate fans.
Rondo is quickly becoming one of the premier point guards in the league. He is tied for 2nd in the East with 7.9 assists per game, is 4th in the NBA in steals per game, and is the point guard responsible for running the offense of the NBA defending champs who are 37-9 this season. However, because he does not get the love he deserves from the national press, he wasn't in the top eleven in this year's fan balloting. Come on! I'm calling out the Stephen A. Smith's of the NBA press to get off Steve Nash's and AI's jock and write/talk about Rajon Rondo.
