http://www.parcbench.com/2009/11/20/did-lou-dobbs-have-his-howard-beale-moment/When you are a state with a $20 billion deficit, it is completely unreasonable and bordering on insane to increase spending. Add to that 12% unemployment (more like 20% when you count part-time workers and those who have given up looking), and it is even more foolish to raise costs on citizens already being crushed ...
Chris Dodd is anything but popular these days. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that a large majority of Nutmeggers (those from Connecticut) disapprove of Dodd’s performance by a whopping 54% to 40%. Of the same people polled, 46% believe that a generic Republican could do a better job at handling the economy than Dodd (where ...
In August 2008, a journey began for a forty-something woman. Unknowingly, she had prepared for an almost impossible quest during the prior ten years, improving her craft and skill. Her interview and the vetting were complete. She was ready to begin a campaign that would catapult her into the national spotlight. Virtually from the moment she ...
I don’t wear blue blazers. I can’t stand them. They’re banned for my staff as well. No, really…close your eyes and try to picture the stereotypical young conservative…blue blazer, khakis, hair styled into that “southern sweep”…. it’s like we all got together and decided to be Alex P. Keaton clones! It’s pathetic… My name i
These days it seems that you’re not someone in the news until you’ve had your sex tape discovered. Not surprisingly, media darling, Carrie Prejean, is not exempt. With all the bad press this poor girl has gotten, I would be very surprised if they hadn’t dug up some dirt about her. The ever-tenacious media waited patiently ...
I am not a big fan of Newsweek. But every once in a while it is worth something. Patrice Wingert recently had a post on the Newsweek Human Condition Blog about a new book authored by Suzanne Somers. Ms. Somers’ tome; Knockout, Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer, is a look at “alternative medicine” as an ...
I recently had the opportunity to interview U.S. Congressman Lee Terry from Nebraska. He’s been in office since 1999 and since I have never met anyone from nor been to Nebraska, I didn’t know what to expect. So naturally when I googled him and saw that he had been on the Colbert Report and knew it ...
My video of Obama is now famous. But let me explain. Nothing ruins a Saturday night more than getting back to your dorm room and logging into Facebook only to find a picture of your President bent down at 90 degrees at the top of your News feed! Well, that’s what happened this past Saturday. If you ...
It’s been two months since Jay Leno debuted with his prime time show on NBC. Like many people, I was curious about this new venture and watched Leno’s show every night the first week. After that, I stopped, as have many others, as Leno’s slipping ratings give evidence to. I do not watch much television ...
One of the greatest gangster films ever made, Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, is my film of the week. For most of us, we were hooked upon hearing the words “as far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.” The film is based on Nicholas Pileggi’s Wise Guy, which is about the life ...
*** ½ (out of 4 stars) Jason Mraz does what he does best when he is doing it live onstage. He is as charismatic as he is talented. He is breezy, jazzy, chatty and as lively as an aspiring American Idol contestant during the first round… except that Jason Mraz has consistently perfect pitch. Last year Jason ...
I am a busy person. Not sure how it got like this - it’s possible that I’m a people-pleaser. Regardless of my motives, I’m just plain busy. Working, commuting, continued education and, most importantly, my Parcbench column. What was I thinking? Allow me to add that I do this all without the assistance of a Blackberry. I ...
