Glenn Beck Comments on 'Frog-Gate'

I saw this earlier and I was sorta awake and sorta not, when it was said… watch it:

AllahPundit quips:

Exit notation: I do not, in fact, blog from a basement. I blog from a small apartment, and shall continue to do so unless/until Google buys Hot Air. We’re not all homeowners, rich guy!

Lucky him. I have to blog from my parent’s freakin’ basement; no thanks to the lousy economy and because of my lousy credit; no thanks to a bankruptcy; caused by me losing my job, which was no fault of my own. Stuff just happens like that.

Anyhow, I loved the ending. “Step up to the plate or shut the pie hole!” You know political TV has crossed the rubicon; when opinion makers say “Piehole” on live TV. 😛

Interview: Katie Couric Interviews Glenn Beck

I noticed AllahPundit posted an excerpt to this interview and I went and checked; sure enough, I was able to snag the whole thing.

I think Glenn does a good here. He is quite careful not to fall into any of Katie’s traps. Glenn does seem to have some opinions of his very own. Some I agree with; some I highly disagree with, including his idiotic assertion that he is some sort of a libertarian. His position on defense and Abortion are classic Conservative positions.

However, I give the man props; he does hold to some decent positions that I agree with, and did criticize Bush; just as I did here. I also took great issue with his moronic attitude toward the auto companies; seeing my father is a retired auto worker. I found myself flipping him the bird at the part of the video.

One part of the video that I really liked was the part about Glenn realizing that he had to sober up and get his life right with God. I can totally identify with this. I am, in fact, the Grandson of a “working Alcoholic”; who never got help and ended up dead of cancer, by the time he was in his early 50’s. Something that this writer and blogger was on the path to doing myself also in the 1990’s. I highly doubt that I was as “far gone” as Glenn and I really did not have to go to rehab. But, I can tell you this; the mentality is the same, you can feel the power of drink and it does begin to take control of your mind. I am quite blessed in the fact that I had not lost control of my ability to stop. Something that I will always and forever more be grateful to God for.

Glenn also talks about his mother who committed suicide; something that I think takes quite the man to talk about to anyone; which less some semi hostile media type interviewing you.

The bottom line is this: All in all, it is a very decent video and I think everyone, Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans and Democrats should watch this video.

Enjoy…

Late Night at the PB presents: Peter, Paul and Mary

This is a special tribute edition of the PB Pub. Today the folk music world lost one of the original voices. Mary Travers of the group Peter, Paul and Mary has died.

The New York Times reports:

Mary Travers, whose ringing, earnest vocals with the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary made songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “If I Had a Hammer” and “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” enduring anthems of the 1960s protest movement, died on Wednesday at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut. She was 72 and lived in Redding, Conn.

17travers3a_190The cause was complications from chemotherapy associated with a bone-marrow transplant she had several years ago after developing leukemia, said Heather Lylis, a spokeswoman.

Ms. Travers brought a powerful voice and an unfeigned urgency to music that resonated with mainstream listeners. With her straight blond hair and willowy figure and two bearded guitar players by her side, she looked exactly like what she was, a Greenwich Villager directly from the clubs and the coffeehouses that nourished the folk-music revival.

“She was obviously the sex appeal of that group, and that group was the sex appeal of the movement,” said Elijah Wald, a folk-blues musician and a historian of popular music.

Ms. Travers’s voice blended seamlessly with those of her colleagues, Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey, to create a rich three-part harmony that propelled the group to the top of the pop charts. Their first album, “Peter, Paul and Mary,” which featured the hit singles “Lemon Tree” and “If I Had a Hammer,” reached No. 1 shortly after its release in March 1962 and stayed there for seven weeks, eventually selling more than two million copies.

The group’s interpretations of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” translated his raw vocal style into a smooth, more commercially acceptable sound. The singers also scored big hits with pleasing songs like the whimsical “Puff the Magic Dragon” and John Denver’s plaintive “Leaving on a Jet Plane.”

On a personal note, My mother loved this group as a young lady and still does to this day. With my Mom and many of the other young people at the time; politics was the farthest thing from their minds. They were just enjoying the good music and singing. I am also well aware of the politics of this woman and the other members of the group. However, I do believe a bit clarification is in order.  I believe that the liberalism of this woman’s era was not the same stripe of the liberalism of today. It is sort of hard to explain, there has been books written about it.  It was the Kennedy Liberalism and not the kind of Liberalism of Barack Obama.

Here are a few videos in memory of Mary Travers… Enjoy. May Mary rest in peace and on the behalf of my Mother; thanks for the memories.

Lies, Damned Lies and more Lies

I notice in the Blogosphere today that the Liberals are accusing Conservatives of lying about the turn out in Washington D.C.

How ironic that the Socialists are crying foul about lying; seeing that their own dear leader is quite the liar himself.

Let’s review, shall we?

My that’s quite a bit of lying.

I think his nose should be growing…

Remember this little whopper of a big lie?

…and the Kool-Aid Drinkers bought it; hook, line and sinker.

So, perhaps…. Joe Wilson; was right?

Of course, the bill was changed, after Joe Wilson called the President on it. But still, are not these other lies legit? I think they are.

Exit Question: If a Republican lied like this man has, would not he be held to a higher scrutiny? But because he is a black liberal, he skates for free? Isn’t that the honest truth?

Late Night at the PB Pub Presents: Eric Burdon and the Animals

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, shape or form intend this posting to be considered to be any sort of disrespect towards our Nation’s Military. Those guys are out there on the battlefield so that people, like Eric Burdon; can be free to express his opinions and write songs like this one.  Having said all that; I do wish this to be considered a political commentary towards our Nation’s leaders, former and current; on sending our Nation’s finest into wars that cannot be won. I also intend it to be a commentary on unjustified war. I make zero apologies for this.

Video: Two From RedState Update

I have been so busy as of late; Writing about crazy Communists and their resignations in Obama’s White House, that I have been slacking in my video postings. Sorry. 🙁   A one man operation can only do so much. 😀

Here’s two from the guys over at RedState update:

First up a very funny, but quite offensive tribute to Ted Kennedy:
