Common Sense

I should probably say at the beginning, I haven’t watched the debate yet. I’m planning on doing it later, but work has once again gotten in the way. Plus, it seemed really like a waste of time. Who was going to be home to see it? The most anyone is going to know about it […]

The past two mornings on CNN I’ve seen stories that just made me question why I watch that channel… ever.
Thursday on CNN Newsroom there was a three-minute segment on the non-relationship between Condi Rice and the foreign minister of Canada. Literally the first half was how they seem to be cozy, cozy; then they admitted […]

And to drive that fact home to us mere mortals yesterday, Duane Chapman, best known from his hit A&E television show Dog the Bounty Hunter, was arrested in Hawaii Thursday. Why, you ask? The Mexican government requested it because he allegedly jumped bail in that country.
The charges stem from Chapman’s capture of Max Factor heir […]

OK, I lied, I’m still posting about the anniversary of 9/11. But I have good reason to, and that’s the special comment offered by Keith Olbermann on Monday’s Countdown.
Olbermann has offered several special comments as of late, and who could blame him. I’m sure, like many of us, he is just now disgusted by the […]

There was a great two-hour show on the Discover Channel last night, hosted by Ted Koppel, called The Price of Security. It was an hour of Koppel’s own reporting on different aspects of post-9/11 America. He visited Gitmo to ask about treatment of prisoners.

His family believes that he would want it to be seen, but others don’t think it would be ethical to show a man dying, unless you’re a marine biologist studying the behavior of […]

But I won’t see it until much later tonight. The third season of House, MD starts in mere minutes. I’m looking forward to this. The premiere of Standoff is right after, and I’m kind of curious about that, too. Anything with the dude from Office Space, you know.
Also tonight, the new season of Nip Tuck […]

The latest round of Chet Edwards ads are available to view at ChetEdwards.com.

Local PBS affiliate KNCT has offered to produce a debate for Democrat Mary Beth Harrell and incumbent John Carter. Harrell has accepted, Carter… not so much. The way he put it, he sounded like a total dick. It wouldn’t be the first time, though.
However, in a previous interview this summer, Carter went a step further, […]

I remember Joe Scarborough as the guy who went to Bush rallies in 2004 and sounded like every other conservative talking head on TV.
But reading the top few posts on his MSNBC blog, he sounds like an intelligent conservative. You know, the kind of guy I could actually sit down and have a decent coversation […]
