I had to laugh when I saw the headline of this article – “Right and Early” – because it naturally made me think of Marc the Shark (or was it Mark the Shark – or Marc the Sharc?). It’s all about the liberal media bias – particularly on the Sunday Booblehead shows.

While you might expect to see a lot of Republican candidates and their surrogates in the thick of a Republican primary contest, the four Sunday morning talk shows—ABC’s This Week, NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’s Face the Nation and Fox News Sunday—have been extraordinarily friendly terrain for the right, as a new FAIR study documents.
[…]
In the eight-month study period, partisan-affiliated one-on-one interviews were 70 percent Republican—166 guests to Democrats’ 70.
[…]
Men overwhelmingly dominated one-on-one interviews, at 86 percent: 228 male guests compared to 36 women. Meet the Press featured the fewest women, with just six female interviewees—three of whom were Rep. Michele Bachmann (R.-Minn.), the presidential candidate.

Guests were also also ethnically homogeneous, with 242 white interview guests (92 percent of the total), 15 African-Americans (seven of whom were Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain), four Arabs or Arab-Americans, and three Latinos.
[…]
If you buy the assumption that the Sunday shows simply must feature lawmakers in one-on-one interviews, the roundtable debate format could at least give these programs a chance to bring in more diverse voices. But these segments are hard to distinguish from the lopsided interview segments.
[…]
Women were just 29 percent of roundtable guests. The ethnic diversity was similarly woeful: 85 percent white and 11 percent African-American, with 3 percent Latino. Other ethnicities made up an additional 2 percent of roundtable guests.

Damn liberals.

Barack Obama not only hates sty-at-home moms, but he also hates successful rich people. He had the nerve to mention that he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but Mitt Romney isn’t going to apologize for his dad.

Of course, nobody is asking him to. And we all know how hard it was for Mitt and Anne to survive in college without working a day, only cashing in Mitt’s crappy stocks. Poor Mitt. Poor Anne.

As Vernon mentioned, sad news yesterday as Dick Clark passed away at 82 (which really isn’t sounding very old to me these days). I’m sure I don’t need to mention what college Dick went to, or where he got his start on the radio.

I will mention that Dick was on hand the day that SU played then #1 Nebraska in football in 1984. He was on hand to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of SU’s only National Championship (and SU actually astounded the football world by beating Nebraska that day; I couldn’t talk above a whisper for a week after that).

So long, Dick.
