C-Span's Sunday night hour of "Q&A" today involved an interview with Kevin Leffler, a Michigan CPA who is sinking about $100k of his own money into a documentary which he calls "Shooting Michael Moore". Leffler knew and worked with Moore and says that the public persona Moore touts is nothing like the Moore he knew. His film, from which numerous clips are presented during Q&A, is a takeoff on Moore's "Roger and Me" and portrays Leffler trying to track down and question Moore about many inaccuracies and outright lies he says Moore includes in his various films. The picture Leffler...

Tell the legislature in New Jersey how to vote on gay marriage by freeping this poll "Should gay couples in New Jersey have the same marriage rights as heterosexual couples?" - not that the legislators pay attention to what the people want anyway......Poll is about two-thirds of the way down the page on the right hand side Link

KYW-TV Philadelphia is running a poll through the afternoon regarding the posting by Geno's Steaks in South Philly of a sign asking patrons to place their orders in English only. The owners state that their parents had to learn the language when they first came here from Italy and they think it would help all those newly arrived to do the same. Of course, some leftwing 'rat councilman has made an issue of the sign, insisting that it is "discriminatory". The poll is midway down the page at CBS3.COM....

Three hour interview with Professor Harvey Mansfield discussing his various works on political philosophy, experiences teaching at Harvard, and answering viewer call-ins will be repeated tonight at midnight eastern on C-Span2...includes a spirited defenses of president Summers on the sex-differences brouhaha and a clever exposure of some of the logical inconsistencies of modern-day "liberalism" (liberals profess to believe in progressivism and diversity, yet progressivism implies a march toward one perfect state which would preclude anything diverse)

Actor Ron Silver, newly-turned supporter of President Bush and various conservative causes, being interviewed on "Hollywood and Politics" by Jeff Greenfield on C-Span for probably the next hour...also, Charles Krauthammer to be interviewed by Brian Lamb on C-Span this evening at 8:00.....

Showing on Philly Channel 61 for next twenty-five minutes - Thanks to News Max

"Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal", the documentary indictmant of John Kerry's anti-war activities and how they damaged our POW's and war efforts in Vietnam, was just shown over broadcast channel 61 WPPX ("PAX")(Comcast channel 20 in south Jersey) - program was sponsored by NewsMax Media, with information on how it could be purchased offered throughout. In spite of the left's Hitlerian efforts to stop the film from being shown, it was just made available to millions over the air in the Philadelphia region - the truth will out......

For his weekly CNBC interview program this weekend Tim Russert got together with Andrew Sullivan and Christopher Hitchens for what was a most interesting hour (probably - I caught only the last forty-five minutes). Most of the conversation covered the war on terrorism, and both Sullivan and Hitchens were supportive of the President's actions in the war and emphatic that we must stay in Iraq until we finish what we started there (Sullivan: "saying he'd pull out of Iraq in six months is alone enough to mean Kerry shouldn't be president"). Hitchens was quite positive in talking about the progress...

Ben Stein's discussion of his new book "Can America Survive" will be repeated tonight at 9:30 eastern on C-Span2. Stein wrote the book to try to remind people of who the "bad guys" really are in the world today. He says they're certainly not Americans, and explores some of the mythology of poverty, racism, and sexism in the US. He also takes a look at the psyche of wild leftists, saying most of them are unhappy and envious people. Along the way Stein sprinkles his discussion with intriguing anecdotes - he says he became a Republican originally because all the...

MSNBC has continued to try to flog the dead horse by this morning repeating on one of its news shows the big lie that the 911 Commission contradicted the Bush administration with the finding that there was no terrorist relationship between Al-Quaeda and Saddam Hussein; to back this up they brought in Commission member and long-time 'rat shill Richard Ben-Veniste instead of, for example, relying on statements from the Commission chairmen Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton that the findings were being misinterpreted. Nonetheless the NBCABCCBSNYTIMESWASHPOST cabal seems to have failed to convince the public of this disinformation, in part perhaps...

Sunday morning at 9AMEST C-Span2 will repeat the program of a discussion of his book Bush Country by John Podheretz, taped in late February at Barnes and Noble in NYC. Podheretz accuses both the left and right of being engaged in a "great forgetting" of the magnitude and implications of 9/11 and says that the way Bush has handled that outrage has made him a president of substance and importance. More enjoyable than his talk, however, is the way Podheretz handles several hecklers - for instance: "the subtitle of my book is 'How Dubya Became a Great President and Drove...

Mayor John Street was inaugurated for a second term today after winning over Sam Katz in last November's election. Perhaps the real news, though, was that Governor Ed Rendell, Street's predecessor and mentor, was absent from the ceremony, supposedly "on vacation". City council members were also sworn in; noteworthy was a power play by the newly installed members who, in an eleven to seven vote, stripped many of the powers from council president Ann Verna and transferred them to the mayor's office.

Judge Bork is discussing his new book Coercing Virtue: the Worldwide Rule of Judges on C-Span 2 now for about the next hour - observes that the worst fear of intellectuals is that control in the US might actually fall into the hands of the common man, and that intellectuals on the bench are the method they are trying to use to stop that from happening.......

A presentation by Deroy Murdock on reparations and race relations, recorded at Canisius College in March, is scheduled for repeat on C-Span at 12:15 AMEDT. Murdock is super in arguing against reparations, raising such questions as how much of a share of any settlement should someone like Tiger Woods, a wealthy quarter-black, receive and what would happen to all the existing programs which many blacks rely on for assistance should reparations be granted. You may need to keep the barf bag handy for some of the Q/A session, however; some in the audience are simply outrageous, like the professor who...

Forty minute discussion on her book Treason from a presentation at the Capitol Club in DC last Friday began at 9:05P.M.

Channel 10 in Philadelphia aired a brief piece tonight reminding viewers that 34 years ago today man first set foot on the moon, an achievement seen by a billion people around the world via TV signals sent back as the event actually occurred. Channel 10 for some reason did no mention another very newsworthy event which took place on the same weekend in 1969 - when Senator Ted Kennedy drove his Buick into Chappaquiddick Pond, then fled the scene to try to save his career, resulting in the drowning death of his companion. The death of Mary Jo Kopechne was...
