Why is it racist to want some control over who comes in to the country?

Media bias – It’s real…it’s damn real.  I just watched Charlie Rose and Erica Hill from CBS news go after Tim Pawlenty over Mitt Romney’s tax returns from 10 years ago.  Does it really matter?  Romney’s a rich guy.  Name me one president who wasn’t.  Where is this same passion when it comes to the fast and furious inquiry?  A border patrol agent is actually dead, and it looks to me like President Obama is helping to cover it up.

Why do I not care about “The Dark Knight Rises”?  I actually had raging nerd wood when “The Dark Knight” came out.

I can’t wait to see Louis C.K. live in October.  The man is one of the giants of comedy, right up there with Carlin, Cosby and Prior.

I wish I lived in Egypt, where I could join with my Muslim brothers in chanting “Monica” at Hillary Clinton, followed by a nice goat soufflé.  I bet I’d smell like a man, too.  There I go, judging again.

Reshma Shetty = The hottest girl on TV.

Even if I could afford a hooker, I wouldn’t have the faintest idea where to start looking for one.

When I was ten or so, I would often go to the local drug store in the downtown area of my hometown and read comic books.  After 30 years, I am reading comic books again – thanks Robert Kirkman.

Speaking of reading, I recommend:  “Not Taco Bell Material” by Adam Carolla, “Still the Best Hope” by Dennis Prager and “The Thomas Sowell Reader” by Thomas Sowell.

“Breaking Bad” is back – yessssssss….

“Big Brother” is back – nooooooo….

I suppose that’s enough for now.  No promises, but I will try like hell to get a podcast up next week, but if not, you’ll get another rambling missive like this one.  These are truly heady days…

Cheers,

Jim Gardner

I have the sniffles, a screaming headache, and various colors of bile coming from every orifice!”  type of cold.  TMI?  Probably, but I thought I’d share nonetheless.  Look for a new podcast this coming Monday, where I will have some cool things to talk about, along with the best analysis of the news and pop culture of anyone on this website.   Have fun!
