Rats get killed, cockroaches get killed, and Bin Laden got killed. One year after the death of this utter failure and rabid animal I figured what better time to repost one of my most popular comedy bits from last year. I posted an article joking about the possibility of Bin Laden’s wives getting their own reality show. Here it is again, complete with the Continue reading

1ST ANNIVERSARY OF BIN LADEN GETTING FLUSHED
EVALUATING ESPN’S ON-AIR PERSONALITIES
Balladeer’s Blog
ESPN may not stand for Exclusively Sports Publicist’s Network but the mammoth outfit certainly acts like it. Their soft, “People magazine for athletes” approach to sports coverage makes them fun to watch and listen to in the same way watching bad movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space is fun. If you want actual sports journalism go to Sports Illustrated (SI.com) or Yahoosports, never ESPN.
It’s no coincidence that those other outfits are the ones who have broken every major sports scandal in recent years. ESPN is too thoroughly in bed with the executives in college and professional sports to want to damage their “product” by doing REAL investigative reporting. Here’s Balladeer’s Blog’s evaluation of the sports publicists who do on-air work at “the worldwide leader in suckup”.
Not pictured: Colin Cowherd
1. COLIN COWHERD – With the departure of Jim Rome to the cable outfit called CBS College Sports Cowherd gets the top spot by default. Colin towers over all the other on- air staff at ESPN by virtue of the fact that he has a life outside of sports and therefore doesn’t feel that winning games excuses criminal behavior like his colleagues do.
Cowherd also rejects the journalistic pretensions of the other ESPN sports publicists and repeatedly states that he considers his employer to be in the entertainment business, not the news business. Like all Continue reading
ISLAM’S WAR ON WOMEN CONTINUES WITH A VERY OLD CHARGE: WITCHCRAFT
As if perpetuating the superstitious savagery of killing people for drawing pictures of the blood-soaked “prophet” Muhammad isn’t bad enough, leave it to Islam, the most backward religion on the face of the Earth at this particular moment in history, to still be killing people over witchcraft.
Under Sharia Law convicted witches are beheaded in the Muslim world according to Amnesty International, which has Continue reading

A GREAT BOOK EXAMINING MUHAMMAD’S MENTAL STATE
Sujit Das’ work
Islam Dismantled: The Mental Illness of Prophet Muhammad is a much- needed critique of the founder of Islam. It’s easy to find books criticizing the founders of other belief systems from around the world but when people are brave enough to subject forever-intolerant Islam to these same rational examinations the cowardly political correctness police pretend it’s “hate speech” or “Islamophobia.”
I’ve mentioned in the past my personal belief that Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, was a mentally unbalanced man who Continue reading

LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES AND SLAIN SOLDIERS
Welcome back to Balladeer’s Blog, the only Independent Voter site on the ‘net that is truly nonpartisan in its criticism of the shrill children who call themselves Liberals and Conservatives.
I believe now is a good time to address this issue from awhile back since it covers the cheap politicization of grief over a loved one slain in war. Remember when Liberals were all hyping Continue reading

ISLAM’S WAR ON WOMEN CONTINUES: HERE’S HOW YOU CAN LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD
Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog will remember the heroic Irshad Manji, a Muslim woman who is openly lesbian and has been working with other Muslims to initiate reform in Islam. Irshad’s book, The Trouble With Islam Today, was discussed in a previous post here in which I also lauded her courage in dealing with the threats of physical violence which she and her fellow reformers face on a regular basis.
Manji also heads the Moral Courage Project at Continue reading

LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES AND THE 9-11 ATTACKS
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, the Open City in an America being torn apart by liberal zombies and conservative zombies, takes a look at a parallel Earth today. As usual this is the only site on the ‘net that is truly non-partisan in its criticism of left-wing and right-wing zealots.
Several years ago a big deal was made over whether or not the 9-11 attacks could have been prevented by greater coordination between elements of the intelligence community. Amid the predictable partisan bickering and childish finger- pointing that characterized the 9-11 Commission and its findings an important consideration was overlooked.
That consideration was how events would have unfolded if the attacks had actually been thwarted. Let’s take a quick look at both the Liberal idiocy and the Conservative idiocy that would have followed.
THE LIBERAL IDIOCY – The Continue reading

TERRIFIC BOOK – A GOD WHO HATES: THE COURAGEOUS WOMAN WHO INFLAMED THE MUSLIM WORLD …
At Balladeer’s Blog I’m always open about how much contempt I feel for American liberals because they are too cowardly to subject Islam’s misogyny and homophobia to the same criticism they subject Christianity to. I’m an ardent non-believer in ANY religion and see the gutless silence of the politically correct left to be an obstacle to convincing the Muslim world into ever joining the 21st Century. ( And no, whiny liberals, I’m not a conservative. Just read around my blog and see. )
If people had been as cowardly about criticizing Christianity we’d still be living like the 1600’s Puritans or Continue reading

ISLAM’S LOVE AFFAIR WITH HOMOPHOBIA CONTINUES
Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog are familiar with how cowardly and hypocritical I consider left- wing zealots to be because of the way they pound on Christianity’s outdated attitude toward homosexuality but are far too meek and timid to criticize Islam for having the same, if not worse, homophobic mindset.
My fellow blogger Harry at Dribbling Pensioner has posted a Continue reading

IT’S FUN WATCHING REPUBLICANS REALIZE THEIR BASE IS INSANE ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR NEWT GINGRICH
While most people today are talking about Rick Santorum’s rout of Mitt Romney AKA The Republican Walter Mondale, Balladeer’s Blog’s readers know I always like to be different.
Today I’ll post about the enormous laughs I’ve been getting from watching the GOP brass fume over the realization that their voters are crazy enough to vote for Newt Gingrich, a man who never met a goofy idea he didn’t want to ride for awhile before abandoning it and denying he ever had anything to do with it. What a “rock solid conservative” those nutty Tea Party types are supporting! What a way to prove people wrong when they say Tea Party voters are clueless hicks who never follow national events and have no historical memory!
If the Newtons, as Gingrich’s cult-like followers are called, manage to make their man the nominee I’ve decided to offer up a few potential campaign slogans for the candidate.
Newt Gingrich: The bitter, scowling face of the Republican Party!
Newt Gingrich: Continue reading
