Patriotic Battle of the Bands

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Here’s “We the People”, by Lloyd Marcus – a conservative with some vocal talent – who bills this as “the NEW Tea Party Unity Song”:

The title (NOT the actual content) of the above song put me in mind of an old Schoolhouse Rock short called “The Preamble”:

Do me a favor:

The most trusted name in made-up news

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

According to a recent Zogby poll, “37.6% of those surveyed, news sources on the Internet are considered to be the most reliable.”

More than Fox News. More than CNN. More than MSNBC. More than the New York Times.

Think about that for a minute.

I mean, if people believe the Internet more than news organizations, does that mean that they don’t trust CNN, but do trust CNN.com?

I don’t think so.

There’s something else on the Internet they trust. And what could that be?

BLOGS!!!

Yes, blogs — such as this blog — are the most trusted source of news. That has to be it!

As a dues-paying member of the Internets, I, for one, am proud of the faith you have placed us.

Misplaced faith, to be sure. But we’re not about to let your misguided notions of who to trust go to our heads.

We’ll continue to make up stuff about liberals, never ceasing, never tiring, never stopping, ever growing, ever moving, ever rising till … well, you get the idea.

Like CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, the New York Times, or any of those “news organizations,” we’ll continue to be make stuff up and to have a tremendous bias.

Unlike CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, the New York Times, or any of those “news organizations,” we’ll continue to be open and honest about making stuff up and about our bias.

You can trust us on that.

Exit Poll Opinion Poll

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Like many of you, I watched the election returns on Tuesday night.  After a while of watching the plethora of exit polling data, I formed a strong opinion about them.

Thinking back to that night, I got curious about IMAO reader opinions regarding 2008 exit poll data.  So I thought I’d ask them-you.
