new york firefighters going to new orleans was a story i first heard this morning on wor. ann coulter had wondered if new yorkers would help a red state out, the way that so many came to the aid of new york after 9/11. (new jerseyans, i'm happy to say, have been doing their part.) so, when new york firefighters headed for new orleans, there's only one position ann could take. saying she was wrong? you're new around here, aren't you? no, she simply stated that firefighters aren't new yorkers, which surely came as a surprise to all of them. this begs the question, who is a new yorker? (i'd guess that she'd say that the staff of the times are new yorkers, even though a number of them live in new jersey suburbs.) oh, the defense of the indefensible ... one's job is never done. |
my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour. links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias: the fair & balanced: the left: the right: *that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.    |
